Rating: 1.0
A case for a zero-star rating
I just reviewed "The New Guy", and lamented about how bad teen movies still were. Now graduating to the college level, I find a movie that's much, much worse. If "The New Guy", who's lead character is more charismatic than anything in this movie gets one star, where is there to go when you find this one?I don't have a problem with gross-out or infantile humor. Chris Rock does it well, and even Dice Clay knows what buttons to push to cut through our civilized defenses. In the movies, when Mel Gibson leaves a condom tree on Danny Glover's desk, it works because the absurdity is presented in contrast to an otherwise sane world.That's not the case in this movie, where EVERYBODY seems stupid. I know we are expected to cut some slack when Dustin Hoffman and Babs Streisand don't really look like the opposite sex in their movies. But this movie doesn't even try to do a good job of disguising them. They just plop on bad wigs and [bad] clothes, and that's it. When the ladies also occasionally need a shave, it shows how much the filmmakers care about a good product.Which leaves the other actors, who are saddled with wooden stupidity to begin with, with a tougher job. They now have to pretend that these creatures with broad shoulders, prominent Adam's apples, and five-o'clock shadows are perfectly acceptable in a women's shower, can be accepted in a sorority, and are material to be hit on.Oh yes, it does have nudity, which I suppose is the draw for a lot of people. If this is the case, spend a few minutes on the Internet, get it out of your system, and then get a better movie. I suppose a good one can be made using this story line, but this one is just bad from every aspect of filmmaking.
