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 10/18/2008
A tedious, by-the-numbers raunch-fest that exists strictly because it can. Go to Full Review Mack Rawden CinemaBlend 07/27/2014

College is painfully stale, pathetically unfunny, and I can't think of a single reason why you should sit through [it]. Go to Full Review Serena Donadoni Baltimore City Paper 06/28/2014

Deb Hagan takes an adolescent rite of passage and turns it into a primer on collegiate sadism, pushing the R rating to new raunchy lows in the process. Go to Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune 09/04/2009

thiago s @Thiagostone 06/29/2025 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 02/09/2022 An unfunny, gross ripoff of better movies of its kind. See more 01/04/2020 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 07/14/2016 Possibly the worst comedy of the decade and one of the worst of all-time. It's boring, unfunny and just downright dreadful. See more 04/12/2016 i dont care what people think, but i really like it..:P See more 02/14/2014 Extremely entertaining and very funny See more Read all reviews
