If college were really like this, everyone would drop out and found Microsoft.
Top CriticI thought it was dreadful from start to finish.
Not only would I not see this movie, I wouldn't see any movie playing in the same multiplex.
A tedious, by-the-numbers raunch-fest that exists strictly because it can.
A raunchy comedy that plays like a Superbad without the smarts, the heart, the originality or the laughs.
Film critics never come home stinking of their honest labor, but the nearest equivalent is covering something like College, which leaves its stain on one's very humanity.
We've done the whole classless college comedy thing before, many times.
A laugh-free, thoroughly unpleasant comedy...
So full of nastiness and cruelty that it's hard to believe anyone would find joy in it.
a male fantasy of what sorority life is really like with a depth of story that would be more at home in a porn film than a major motion picture
The worst gags in "Old School" and "Revenge of the Nerds" are still superior to anything you'll see in College
If you hear someone deriding Superbad for being unoriginal or derivative, sit them in front of College. If they can't tell the difference, they're a lost cause.
Excruciatingly unfunny.
Legendary Animal House king of debauchery John "Bluto" Blutarsky would not approve of the party lifestyle at this College.
Personally, I wouldn't waste a $5 drink on this one, but I do understand that teen's irritation.
...makes The House Bunny look like The Importance of Being Earnest.
A movie that glorifies binge drinking flunks as a movie
Sadistic with no laughs to be had.
With sloppy direction, a half-baked script and no reason to care, College is far from being the Animal House of this generation.
Crude, boorish comedy doesn't make the grade.
Audience Reviews for College
Super Reviewer
This is the lamest, dumbest, most obnoxiously poor excuse for a comedy I've seen since DATE MOVIE. What an insulting pile of dreck. I expected it to be bad... but not this bad. How did this get a theatrical release? It's just beyond me...
