Critics Consensus

A pale imitation of the raunchy frat comedies of old, College aims low and misses.

Excruciatingly unfunny. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times Oct 18, 2008
A tedious, by-the-numbers raunch-fest that exists strictly because it can. Go to Full Review Mack Rawden CinemaBlend Jul 27, 2014

thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 29, 2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Feb 9, 2022 An unfunny, gross ripoff of better movies of its kind. See more Jan 4, 2020 2008: Three high school guys (a nice guy, a nerd, and an overweight dude) go to a college over a weekend to experience the life. They run into a group of fraternity guys who delight in hazing the high schoolers in various acts of raunchiness and disgust. The high schoolers end up getting the revenge on the fraternity guys. This movie seems to have ripped off several other movies, including "Animal House" and "Revenge of the Nerds". In addition, the activity is beyond mean-spirited (even between the high school guys), and the raunchiness is over the top. Can't recommend it. Stars: Drake Bell, Kevin Covais, Andrew Caldwell, Nick Zano, and Gary Owen. See more Jul 14, 2016 Possibly the worst comedy of the decade and one of the worst of all-time. It's boring, unfunny and just downright dreadful.
