Synopsis: 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... 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]

  • Sorority Boys
  • The high-heeled high jinks begin when three falsely accused "frat brats" find themselves booted from their brotherhood. Short on cash and desperate, they use pancake, pantyhose, and "pluck" to pledge the ugly girl sorority. Life's a drag as they try to find their way back to fraternity life, and dressing the part puts them in hilarious hot water time and again. What's a boy, pretending to be a girl, to do after treating women so badly? Once in touch with their feminine side, our "girls" realize the error of their ways and make up for their mistakes.

    This comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative.

    The first shocking thing about Sorority Boys is that it's actually watchable. Even more baffling is that it's funny.

    Williams gets some genuine laughs, but otherwise this flick is pretty reprehensible.

    You'd never have guessed by the first 10 minutes, but "Sorority Boys" is a pretty darned good flick.

    None of this sounds promising and, indeed, the first half of Sorority Boys is as appalling as any 'comedy' to ever spill from a projector's lens.

    A stupid Animal House wannabe, Sorority Boys is not just dull, it's downright offensive.

    Whatever the movie's sentimental, hypocritical lessons about sexism, its true colors come out in various wet T-shirt and shower scenes.

    The noble tradition of men in drag hits an all-time low in Sorority Boys, whose makers apparently believe that women's clothing can cover up any deficiency in acting, writing or direction.

    Wolodarsky has made a film that even a rabid lowbrow like Homer Simpson (or, when the mood strikes, this critic) would find beneath his dignity.

    Because the intelligence level of the characters must be low, very low, very very low, for the masquerade to work, the movie contains no wit, only labored gags.

    Unrelievedly dull and stupid...About the best thing you can say...is that it doesn't manage to be quite as awful as 'Slackers.' But it still flunks.

    If there's one thing this world needs less of, it's movies about college that are written and directed by people who couldn't pass an entrance exam.
