Lifetime's 'The College Admissions Scandal' earns passing grade
Read full article: Lifetime's 'The College Admissions Scandal' earns passing grade(CNN) - Described as a "ripped from the headlines" movie, Lifetime's "The College Admissions Scandal" is "inspired by" the Varsity Blues cheating and bribery story, which gets at the truth of the issues in occasionally heavy-handed but overall, kind of delicious fashion. Yet at its best, the movie effectively illustrates the cynical calculus that these parents made, as well as the rationalizations employed to justify their actions. Granted, those who tune in hoping for some tidbit about the most famous names caught up in the scandal -- actresses Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin among them -- won't find them here. "The College Admissions Scandal" is the kind of modest, quick-turnaround effort that won't win any prizes; still, in terms of shining a light on that part of the story, it scores a passing grade the old-fashioned way: By earning it. "The College Admissions Scandal" airs Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
