I went into this movie with some really loooow expectations, but the cast, Dylan Bruno, Oliver Hudson, Susan Ward and more actors whose faces i recognize convinced me to hire this out.And for some strange reason...i liked it.Jake is a failed football star who decides to help his geeky cousin get into a fraternity, and while this movie doesn't really teach us anything that we all haven't seen before, i have to say that it is the first time i have ever seen a 'Soggy Biscuit' as we call it in New Zealand, portrayed on screen.Yes its stupid and immature - but i somehow get the feeling this was exactly what the filmmakers were striving for. Great acting, great cast and a sweet underlying message about friendship make this movie watchable at least.My only complaints are firstly the tag line on the cover 'Animal House meets American Pie' Animal House is a classic and i don't think this movie will ever come close to the cult status Animal House enjoys. And secondly the lighting in this movie was grainy and horrendous, when i first started watching it my first thought was that i was watching a pirate copy and as the film went along i started thinking that maybe they were using hand held cameras from 1995.But all in all, a decent movie to watch if you have the time.

The basis of this film is simple. Two college guys wanting to get into the best fraternity on campus. Except Jake doesn't want to pledge, he just wants to keep his scholarship and continue studying. But his nerdy cousin drags him along and sooner he is obligated to stay because of his cousin. Basically.. Avoid this film, its not funny.. It uses basic cheesy humor, that hardly even brought a smile to my face.. The 90 minute movie is pretty much; What happens if you pledge at a major fraternity..It includes..Circle Jerks Binge Drinking Sleeping with Women and.. A lame Scavanger Hunt.If you feel like watching a cheesy frat boy movie where half of them just want to get laid, or you like looking at half naked men for 90 minutes.. Rent it..Do not Buy.. Horrible!

This movie was, as the summary says, absolutely horrible. I can't understand how a script like this ever even got read by anyone other than the writer/director's mother and dog. Seriously, this had to have been written by a twelve year old boy. The film is full of horrible one liners, terribly developed characters, and things that aren't really gross out gags, but just gross. In the end it does nothing but glorify fraternities, and reveal the weaknesses inherent in the individuals who join them.By the way, if you think you're going to rent this for a light evening of fart jokes and titties, think again. The scenes are completely random with absolutely no comedic build up or timing, much less any witty sight gags or slap stick. There are about two sets of boobs, and one of them is the worst pair of implants I've ever seen in my life. And I watch a lot of this crap.I laughed once, and that was only to keep from crying from embarrassment for the "creative" team behind this schlock.Anyway, it probably seems as if I've written quite a bit for something I claim to not be worth my time; I'm just outraged that my friend spent a three dollar rental fee on this. Simply outraged.

A great comedy with alot on snazz and fun. If you are a brother of a fraternity, or have at least gone through pledgeship, you will definately enjoy the humor in this movie. With plenty of beer drinking, experiences through "hell week", and plenty of girls this movie will entertain you til' the very end!!!
