This movie suffered serious criticism for paying the fraternities and fraternity brothers to act out pieces of the movie. The main school involved does not even pledge in the Spring, as this movie made viewers believe. A good movie to see as long as you realize it is developed to perpetuate the stereotypes the film makers have about fraternities. I did enjoy seeing the movie, it was well produced, and had a good "documentary" feel. HBO will not allow this movie to be presented on TV, and for good reason, it just is not true. There are several instances in the movie where brothers in the fraternity actually act as though they are pledges and act out scenes which supposedly happen in a fraternity.
... View MoreBrilliant movie, if anyone ever gets the chance to see this you're lucky! The thing is that it isn't a documentary, it's all scripted, I was fooled the whole time. That's why HBO won't show it, it's because they were tricked and so was sundance!The creators of this project are surely some of the smarter film makers out there, even though his newer movies don't compare to the intensity this one does. Frat House is a must see.
... View MoreI was fortunate enough to get a hold of a VHS copy of this amazing documentary for a short span of time last year. I think I watched it about 10 times over the course of the week because I kept screening it for friends. This documentary exposes the brutal lack of individuality that breeds on college campus' everywhere. Watch as countless whitebread freshmen beg, bite, and steal for acceptance. These fools will do anything to be a part of the in crowd. The star of the show, Blossom, deserves his own series. His scenes can only be described as, Larry, Moe and Curly all wrapped into one living on a creatine/steroid diet. This documentary is a must see, and Todd Phillips narrations are well done. Its too bad that the frat boys got there daddys lawyers involved, otherwise the work of these two filmmakers would play to the audience it deserves.
