Product: Sorority Boys (2002)
Rating: 2.0
Dangerous right wing propaganda...
I remember this movie being heavily marketed on TV when it was released in the theatre. Sadly you can hype it all you want but a turkey is still a turkey. Some boys get unfairly kicked out of a fraternity and take refuge in a sorority across the road while they plot how to obtain the evidence that would clear their name and reputations. Along the way they alternately fall in love, bond with the "ugly" sorority and expose their fraternity brothers for being the date-raping morons we all new they were at the start.This movie has a few good set pieces and scenes, but ultimately we've come to expect a lot more from the teen movie these days on the back of such seminal films as American Pie and Road Trip. This movie is sadly nowhere near in the league of those two. The actors lack charisma, the plot drags and lacks sparkle, and the whole concept is so widely outside the realms of possibility it just irritates.The scariest things about this movie though are its social commentary undercurrents. Get this, the "feminist" sorority is full of ugly militant lesbian chicks who secretly despise themselves and each other and only come to believe in themselves by beating the "beautiful sorority" at Football. They seek validation for themselves by attracting frankly lame frat boys and are heartbroken when this does not materialize, ostensibly because of the fact they're all fairly ugly and badly dressed. Except of course the girl that the lead male character falls for who is actually pretty hot - once she takes off her glasses.Tired clichés and Neanderthal thinking makes this is a film to miss.
