In the small, idyllic enclave of Port Chester University, there is an even smaller community of people determined to hold out against the fervent political correctness that has taken over their academic establishment. Known as the Pit, it is the fraternity house that serves as party HQ for those holdouts, who hail, incidentally, from all walks of life; it is also the building to which Tom (Chris Young) has been assigned to stay during his pre-freshman stay at the campus. Jeremy Piven plays Droz, his guide, the head of the frat whose daily activities include throwing meat at a bunch of protesting vegans. But things turn serious (kind of) when the school president hands the frat a bill for $7000 in damages, and the group decides to do the only thing it can: throw a party! Campus peace hangs in the balance as this one night will decide if everyone can put aside their differences and just have a good time. George Clinton and the P-Funk put in an appearance as performers at the party, and David Spade almost steals the show as the uptight, smarmy leader of the rival frat. [More]

Take Piven out of the equation and it'd be a whole lot uglier.

It's probably politically incorrect to like this movie, but hey, it made me laugh.
