Now that 30 Rock is coming to its inevitable, brilliant conclusion, Tina Fey is making a move back to the big screen, but this time in slightly unfamiliar dramatic territory opposite Paul Rudd in Admission. Directed by Paul Weitz (About a Boy, American Pie) Admission was adapted from Jean Hanff Korelitz’s 2009 novel by Karen Croner and stars Fey as Portia Nathan (just try and not think of Natalie Portman now), a “straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer [who] is caught off-guard when she makes a recruiting visit to an alternative high school overseen by her former college classmate, the free-wheeling John Pressman.” He’s a not a regular dad, he’s a cool dad who might also know something about the child she gave up for adoption on the way to having it all. She’s a highly-strung single career woman with everything at stake who wants to have it all. Sound familiar? Of course it does, that’s modern life for you.
