King Frat Trailers

Set on the quiet campus of Yellowstream University, this comedy follows the rivalries that build between two of the college's fraternities. When they're not mooning everyone they pass and throwing garbage on the lawns of rival frats, the members of the Pi Kappa Delta fraternity are mainly interested in drinking and... well, drinking. When a campus-wide farting contest is announced, Grossout, the leader of the Deltas, is all too eager to stand up, bend over and defend the honor of his fraternity.

After the president of Yellowstream University dies (he dies via a heart attack after a mooning incident by the Phi Cappa Delta fraternity), the dean of the school pledges to get rid of the farting, drinking, mooning cretins. Oh who am I kidding? This lesser Animal House clone plot line is kept to a bare minimum used to (vaquely) tie random scenes together said scenes more often then not revolve around farting.I really don't mind crude, vulgar, or tasteless humor. If done in a funny way I can usually get a chuckle or two out of it at the least. However this film is just sad. Instead of laughing, I found myself yawning. This film has been done both before and since and much better I may add.Eye Candy: three pairs of tits My Grade: D DVD Extras: Nothng other then a 2 & a half minute slide-show (to make matters worse the DVD seems to be a videotape transfer)

Let me first say that I don't comment on movies that much. But this is so much of an exception. A long time ago a public access cable show talked about this movie and how bad it was. So when I got a chance to see it I did.... 1) Just a TOTAL rip off of animal house... done BADLY. 2) Production values for some reason add to the GRIMY nature of this film which actually is a plus for the film ( you can just feel how disgusting it must have been to live in that place)with that said.. when you watch it you just want to sit there with your mouth open and just go......WHAT??? And actually for some reason with the Cheezy sound track and CORNY gross out gags in a really bad B movie way make this film actually work! If you are like 13 years old you would love this movie. I think this movie is a great example of that movie. saying "A movie so bad its actually funny". Its just so STUPID you just want to cringe at how corny it is but thats what makes it so unique.So really I guess I can say I liked it in a weird just put your head in your hands and just be amazed at how cheesy it is way.

This movie severely thrashes all the other college movies out there. It tramples on the "PCU", "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Road Trip", although if you liked any of those you'd love "King Frat". Instead of being one continuous unbelievable story, like "Nerds" or "Animal House", "King Frat" is more of a compilation of vignettes about the frat boys, which, when you think about it, is really closer to what college life is really like: one prank after another. It pulls each scene off well, except the prostitution scene, and keeps themes running through the film. But what separates this film from the rest, and even bigger budget movies with a wider release area, is the characterization. I have never seen a film where the characters are as well portrayed and with such honesty. It's a gem, if you watch this film prepare to be amazed. I've actually had friends write term papers on this movie.Ok, some of the scenes do go nowhere, but that's not the point. It's a movie about college pranksters and if you're looking for Shakespeare, this ain't it. But it is entertaining in a crude, heart-of-gold kind of way. A lot like "Animal House" (John DiSanti plays the Budget Belushi well), of course, but unique and special in itself. It's a shame that "King Frat" didn't get a large theatrical release, or any publicity of any kind, because it really is a pretty good goofy movie. Everyone to whom I showed this movie loved it and I've heard it has a pretty good cult following (in Australia of all places).If you can find it, get it. It's not for everyone but it's a film everyone should give a good fair chance.

This film opened in Seattle only in two drive-in's as KING "#*!x" FRAT with a girl who is not in the movie standing in front of a cartoon frat house. (the second week, the film because 2nd feature to PROM NIGHT). The film has some funny moments, but some gags goes on forever. Desantis, who worked for the director before, is way too old for the belushi part as a fat crazy frat guy. The title song "king Frat" is pretty catchy. The film is under several different titles on video like CAMPUS KINGS (might be public domain). Recommended to high school college kids who want to see ANIMAL HOUSE type film.
