I remember a movie or tv show where someone finds out that their parent hid a college acceptance letter so they wouldn't go away to college. I think it involved a father and daughter but I'm not certain. That's all I remember. I believe it's an American production and probably released in the last 20 years. Ring any bells?
shareA Cinderella Story (2004)...? I doubt this is the one because it's a Hilary Duff movie, but I'll suggest it anyway, based on the plot description:
[The stepmother] Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge) opens Sam's (Hilary Duff) acceptance letter from Princeton, and replaces it with a falsified rejection letter made in order to keep Sam working in the diner and as her slave. Fiona presents Sam with this, feigning sympathy, and offers Sam a lifetime job in the diner...
...Sam's stepsisters retrieve her real acceptance letter to Princeton from a dumpster, where Fiona "filed" it.

The King of Queens - S4 Ep7 - Lyin' Hearted...

Thank you. That was what I was trying to remember.
