(Photo: Universal)While Liz Lemon's , tough-minded, "I don't need anyone," career-first attitude appears to be softening with this last season of
30 Rock – she's even getting [gasp] married — that doesn't mean
Tina Fey isn't still perfect for that character archetype. Case in point: the trailer for
Admission.
Fey plays
the unfortunately named Portia Nathan, an admissions counselor at Princeton, whose occupational ambition is a top priority, which somehow translates into being dreadful mother material. While battling for a promotion, Nathan gets lured away to inspect an alternative school that doubles on a farm or something. What's more important is the school's run by an old friend, played by
Paul Rudd, who has a secret: Nathan's orphan son may or may not be one of the school's students.
Like Fey, Rudd isn't exactly breaking type for
Admission. He's the charming, lovable goof, and she's the independent yet insecure, witty yet self-deprecating outspoken go-getter. But the fact that we finally get both of them in one movie is enough to get excited about
Admission, even if you can see the familiar plot points coming from a mile away.
