Following in the irreverent footsteps of the Farrelly Brothers and National Lampoon is this farcical send-up of college life. Dave, Doofer, and Adam always lead the party in their fraternity's frequent and wild blowouts. But when their jealous frat president frames them for theft, the three are banished. Their only hope of getting back in is to prove they didn't steal the fraternity's treasury fund by getting hold of the videotape that will prove who did. But how can three excommunicated frat boys get back into their house? Dressed as girls, of course, at one of the house's many parties. The three wind up as new pledges in the D.O.G. sorority, where the unpopular girls go after all the other sororities reject them. But the hoax gets turned on its ear when Dave starts falling for one of his sorority sisters, who returns his affection--as long as he's a woman--while Adam evades the amorous advances of his former little brother and Doofer gets in touch with his feminine side. REVENGE OF THE NERDS meets SOME LIKE IT HOT in this slapstick, gross-out, romantic coming-of-age sex story. [More]

Reviews
A bloated and outdated pastiche of tired slapstick, obvious misogyny and painfully unfunny smarm.
If you're hard up for raunchy college humor, this is your ticket right here.
Most bad movies have at least some redeeming features. Sorority Boys isn't most movies
...an hour and a half of dumb, smutty, slovenly, lecherous people doing dumb, smutty, slovenly, lecherous things.
The film is directed by Wally Wolodarsky from a script by Joe Jarvis and Greg Coolidge. These are names to remember, in order to avoid them in the future.
Pretend like your SAT scores are below 120 and you might not notice the flaws.
The premise for this kegger comedy probably sounded brilliant four six-packs and a pitcher of margaritas in, but the film must have been written ... in the thrall of a vicious hangover.
...expects us to laugh at the utter stupidity of the characters. But that doesn’t work when the movie is equally as stupid.
The utterly worthless Sorority Boys must represent the absolute low point of teen comedies, which is really saying something.
Never quite rises to the level of self-conscious parody, but merely replicates the same old stereotypes.
A one-trick pony whose few T&A bits still can't save itself from being unoriginal, unfunny and unrecommendable.
Full of witless jokes, dealing in broad stereotypes and outrageously unbelievable scenarios, and saddled with a general air of misogyny
