Great movie. Question from the movie though.

Can you really get into a college by donating money to build a building/facility? I also remember from Simpsons when Burns tries to get his son into Yale but they wouldn't accept him unless they got a "airport".

Depends on how much money you give...

The only Jack Black movie that I've seen is Shallow Hal and that was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I've also seen him in interviews on talk shows and he isn't very funny.

I think he is funny but, overrated yes.

It seems to me that the comedy world is still looking for a sucessor to "Chris Farley" they aren't going to find it.....

As bad as JAck black is, he's still better than that ASSHAT Adam Sandler. How is talking like a baby with a random scream thrown supposed to be funny? Is it a jewish thing?

I doubt money can technically get you into a public school, but with private schools, anything goes. If you have the right connections, you're in (if you've applied to one, you know they always ask if any family members or relatives have ever attended or worked for their university).
