Rating: Summary: Sorority Boys Review: Sorority Boys is funny just on the basis that the 3 Sorority Boys are seriously the most unconvincing girls I've ever seen. Yes, even worse than Dennis Rodman when he wore that wedding dress. It's about 3 guys who are in charge of the Treasury of their Frat (KOK) and because of a jealous house speaker, the money comes up missing and the 3 guys are kicked out of the frat until they can find where the money went. They're first plan is to sneak into their frat house during a party and they dress up as girls to try to accomplish that but are foiled as they are kicked out and left outside the doorstep of the FOG sorority, a sorority of "outcast" girls, who take in the guys thinking they are plus size girls. I went into this movie thinking it was going to stink but it turned out to be really funny. Trust me the 3 guys dressed as the girls are pretty funny plus there's just some really outlandishly funny scenes in this one. Some of the humor is cheap ... jokes but it's still funny. This is a pretty good buy because it'll keep you laughing the whole way through, especially when the girls are playing football and of course, when the DOG girls are partying in their house doing some normal college drug use. Again, funny movie and if you're still looking for laughs, check out AMERICAN PIE 2.
Rating: Summary: A case for a zero-star rating Review: I just reviewed "The New Guy", and lamented about how bad teen movies still were. Now graduating to the college level, I find a movie that's much, much worse. If "The New Guy", who's lead character is more charismatic than anything in this movie gets one star, where is there to go when you find this one? I don't have a problem with gross-out or infantile humor. Chris Rock does it well, and even Dice Clay knows what buttons to push to cut through our civilized defenses. In the movies, when Mel Gibson leaves a condom tree on Danny Glover's desk, it works because the absurdity is presented in contrast to an otherwise sane world. That's not the case in this movie, where EVERYBODY seems stupid. I know we are expected to cut some slack when Dustin Hoffman and Babs Streisand don't really look like the opposite sex in their movies. But this movie doesn't even try to do a good job of disguising them. They just plop on bad wigs and [bad] clothes, and that's it. When the ladies also occasionally need a shave, it shows how much the filmmakers care about a good product. Which leaves the other actors, who are saddled with wooden stupidity to begin with, with a tougher job. They now have to pretend that these creatures with broad shoulders, prominent Adam's apples, and five-o'clock shadows are perfectly acceptable in a women's shower, can be accepted in a sorority, and are material to be hit on. Oh yes, it does have nudity, which I suppose is the draw for a lot of people. If this is the case, spend a few minutes on the Internet, get it out of your system, and then get a better movie. I suppose a good one can be made using this story line, but this one is just bad from every aspect of filmmaking.
Rating: Summary: Guilty Pleasure for Super Stress Days Review: I don't know if there's a guy out there who would like this movie. Lord knows I never even dreamed of running it for hubby. But on a very stressed out day for me, where my brain was overexhausted by work on this computer, I must confess this film did the trick. I enjoyed and laughed at this slight confection of three frat guys who are forced to pledge the girl's sorority on campus which houses all the "dog" girls. The 3 of them are members of the biggest hell raising frat on campus but they must lurk undercover while being suspected of stealing the frat's cruise fund. The reason this works is that the 3 lead guys are surprisingly likable and cute, whether in drag or out. The one who was the worst with the ladies has one of his own frat brothers pursue him as a woman and it is very funny when he walks the frat's Hall of Shame. He slugs a few of those same brothers (as a woman) and that is a great moment. All in all, a fun diversion.
Rating: Summary: Laugh out loud! Review: Caution #1: it takes a full 30 minutes of viewing time before the laughs start coming. Caution #2: this is EXACTLY the type of movie that I would FORBID my kids (if I had any) from watching - due to the raunchy gags and tons of nudity. Having said that, I laughed my bottom off. Yes, there were cliche moments, but my biggest laughs were at material I've never seen before! This movie expertly delivers several erotic situations that are deeply satisfying for the animal in you, while at the same time being almost tender. THIS is my idea of the perfect date movie! The movie will appeal to women & men that can laugh at exaggerations of their species. When compared to National Lampoon's Van Wilder - I found this movie more enjoyable due to the erotic girl-on-girl (actually girl-on-boy-dressed-like-a-girl-but-she-thinks-its-a-girl) standpoint! Shower scenes rock! If you are easily offended - stay clear of this title!
Rating: Summary: Videotape is Censored - Get DVD Review: . The Sorority Boys videotape I rented at Hollywood Video was censored. A notice at the beginning said it was edited to fit the tv screen AND for content. I'm going to rent the DVD to see if it is uncensored. Otherwise, it was a funny movie and worth the price.
Rating: Summary: Amazingly, I liked this movie Review: I must admit that I did enjoy this movie, though typically I would never rent it in a million years. The only reason I even watched it was because my wife rented it. As the movie started I figured I'd last about 15 min. because it looked to be so awful. But it grew on me and I got into it, and before I knew it I was laughing and enjoying it. It's the type of movie that is brain candy. It's simple and obvious jokes. But the reason it works is because of the characters in it, that's what hooked me. The bottom line is they're funny. If you can make it through the first 15-20 minutes you might just like it.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious - Ridiculous!, but Hilarious! Review: Sorority Boys is a movie that we've seen done a dozen different ways over the years - - and yet, it is a fresh retelling of the tale. Hilariously so. In a very brief nutshell, the plot is this: When three of the most popular brothers of the fraternity KOK (get it? - it's very lame, but let it alone), are accused of stealing all the money required to throw a huge shindig, they are thrown out of the fraternity. In a half-baked attempt to retrieve a video tape that shows the real culprit, the three dress as girls and try to infiltrate the KOK frat house. They fail and are somehow invited to join the DOG sorority (lame again, but leave it alone) where they will plan their revenge on their frat. First of all, this movie shares no ground with reality. Just know that going in and you will have a heck of a good time watching this movie. It is part "Animal House," part "What's Love Got to Do with It?," and part "Some Like it Hot." Of the three boys who go in drag, Barry Watson (of TV's 7th Heaven) is the only one who might remotely be convincing as a girl. It seems that no real concerted attempt was made to disguise or cover up the boys' dark beard traces. It is almost a wink to the audience that we are watching camp and that the whole film is for fun. Indeed, the other characters never seem to notice the beards or the adam's apples present in the boys. We are even supposed to believe that one of the boys continually showers with a near sighted sorority sister without the girl ever discovering what is really "poking her in the bottom." The actors seem to have a lot of fun with their "female" selves and play their parts deftly. It is quite funny to watch one of the characters fuss over his perceived "fat *ss," while Watson knowingly admits he makes a beautiful woman. You would think that a film of this caliber would have shown its best scenes in the trailers, but that is not the case here. This movie is absolutely hilarious in many instances and is also ridiculously silly throughout. The filmmakers knew this when they made it. The actors knew it when they were making it. Well, then, the audience should know that when they view it. It is a fun movie! The nod to "Animal House" is apparent to someone as old as I am in that two of the actors from that film are prominently featured in cameo roles: the Dean of Students from Animal House plays a lascivious old man in this film; and Niedermieir from Animal House appears as the "go to" man for Barry Watson's character in his search for employment after he graduates. The one big misfire in this film is the fact that Watson's character's job acceptance and his later revealing his alter ego are never tied together. Somehow it seems one should have had something to do with the other. But this film isn't about a deep plot. It's a film with an actual plot that was created as a vehicle for some immensely entertaining schtick and some more than decent acting and comedy. I think you'll like this one!
Rating: Summary: Incredibly Awful Review: Sorry kids,but a movie where the whole story revolves around men dressing up as women just doesn't seem to work out. Peace Out.
Rating: Summary: Good DVD to buy Review: This is not just a regular movie about guys dressing as girls. We all saw how this came out from a bunch of other movies. This is a good plot and will make you laugh guarenteed. Now thats saying something. Get it.
Rating: Summary: Not for the Serious Movie-Goer Review: Honestly, I didn't think it would be that good, but I was completely wrong. I thought the movie was hysterical, from the beginning. If you are a serious movie-goer that doesn't find much humor in most movies...this movie is not for you....but if you enjoy wacky antics and absurd plotlines and hysterical situations then you have to see this movie. And if you don't fall into either of those categories watch it just so you can laugh your a$$ off at Michael Rosenbaum lamenting to the other guys that he's not the pretty one and at his Walk of Shame.
