Absolutely hilarious, but you'll either love it or hate it
When I first saw this movie on the shelf at the local video store, I had quite a bit of trepidation. And yet, I rented it. Now I own the DVD, and I can't count the number of times I've seen it. No, it's not an original concept, and no, it's not Animal House. I don't think they're really trying to be another Animal House, though, even if they give quite a few nods to that movie.What this movie is, is something light and comedic that you can sit back and enjoy. The comedy is crude at times but well done, from the play on relationships to a dildo fencing match.As I said, you'll either love it or hate it. If you're the type of person who has to think about any movie you see, you should probably move on to a movie that takes itself more seriously, because this one does nothing of the sort. If you're looking for Animal House, try searching under "Animal House". Just a suggestion.Beyond the mere comedy of the movie, they do actually have some messages hidden underneath, and we're not talking boxers or briefs. It's a common theme about gender perceptions, peer pressure and self-esteem. So maybe there's something to think about after all.
