I’ve got a great giveaway for you all today in support of Focus Features’ latest release, ADMISSION starring Tina Fey and Paul Rudd and based on the novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz in theatres on March 22.  I haven’t had the pleasure of reading this book yet but I am dying to see the movie as I’m a fan of Tina Fey.  I bet it’s going to be fantastic!  So check out all the great little goodies I’ve included here in the post and be sure to enter the giveaway for your chance to win the great prize package courtesy of Focus Features!

About the Film

Tina Fey (Date Night, 30 Rock) and Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Knocked Up) star in Admission, the new film directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Weitz (About a Boy), about the surprising detours we encounter on the road to happiness. Straight-laced Princeton University admissions officer Portia Nathan (Fey) 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 (Rudd). Pressman has surmised that Jeremiah (Nat Wolff), his gifted yet very unconventional student, might well be the son that Portia secretly gave up for adoption many years ago. Soon, Portia finds herself bending the rules for Jeremiah, putting at risk the life she thought she always wanted — but in the process finding her way to a surprising and exhilarating life and romance she never dreamed of having.

    I did not even realize Admission was a book first. The movie looks funny so I am assuming the book is even funnier. I like Tina Fey.

    I wasn’t commenting for the giveaway, but since there is one, why not enter, right? I follow your blog. 🙂
