Like a fraternity hazing, the film is sexist, gross, and simultaneously homophobic and homoerotic; like a freshman dying of alcohol poisoning, it's not funny in the slightest.

Reviews for College
You can do alot worse, but two of the lead actors ruin it for the rest of the class. COLLEGE gets an A for effort, but doesn't quite pass.
09/02/08
I thought it was dreadful from start to finish.
11/06/08
Not only would I not see this movie, I wouldn’t see any movie playing in the same multiplex.

Personally, I wouldn't waste a $5 drink on this one, but I do understand that teen's irritation.
09/12/08
Scenes with the boys doing body shots off a furry frat brother in extreme close-up, cleaning overflowing toilets in extreme close-up, and getting nailed with urine-filled balloons might seem like an awesome night at the movies. For me, it was agony.

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.
01/22/09
Sadistic with no laughs to be had.
09/09/08
The worst gags in "Old School" and "Revenge of the Nerds" are still superior to anything you'll see in College
01/25/09
As a boring exercise in youthful debauchery, this "College" is no place you'd ever want to go.
08/29/08
A laugh-free, thoroughly unpleasant comedy...
07/04/09
Anybody in the market for a rip-off of Superbad? All it's missing are the likable characters and the good performances! Oh, and the comedy.
08/30/08
This low-rent frat house comedy is at once far more vulgar and decidedly less anarchic than its obvious inspiration and should flunk out of theaters before this year's crop of freshman students even finish unpacking their bags.
08/29/08
The sort of crass, witless, Porky's-style exercise that makes even the worst product of the Judd Apatow factory look like a comic masterpiece.
08/30/08
A tedious, by-the-numbers raunch-fest that exists strictly because it can.
10/18/08
It's difficult to laugh when you're choking back vomit.
08/29/08
College tries to be a throwback to the teens-gone-wild films of the '80s, but now that teens can find far racier and far funnier fare than this on the Internet, these brainless movies have become obsolete.
09/02/08
A movie that glorifies binge drinking flunks as a movie
09/10/08
The film contains plenty of cliche sight gags, gross-out jokes, sex, beer and college pranks that rarely cause a laugh or chuckle.
09/02/08
...makes The House Bunny look like The Importance of Being Earnest.
