This comedy is nothing new to those of you who've seen the onslaught of teen, campy, sex-filled comedies. I will say thought that despite all that, this film is still good for a few laughs, none of which are forced, and it's a nice deversion to a rainy afternoon. Barry Watson, Harland Williams & Michael Rosenbaum play three alumni in the KOK house, a franernity who specializes of getting high and humiliating college girls. Heather Matarazzo plays the leader of the DOG house, a fraternity filled with the 'ugly' girls that are fighting for woman rights. When are three male sexist's get tossed out of the KOK house after being accused of stealing money they are forced to join the DOG house, posing as girls, in order to retreave a video tape from the KOK house that proves their innocence. Neather of the boys look like women in drag but the fact that they don't is what makes it so funny. While no where near as funny as 'White Chicks' it still, as I mentioned, delivers some honest laughs. The first half of the film is a bit redundant for we've all seen the college comedy when the guys act like pigs and sleep with girl after girl...so it's not until they get dragged out that the film delivers for me. The romance that forms between Barry Watson's character and Heather Matarazzo (who by the way is NO UGLY GIRL) is ammusing and the DOG circle scene when they tell something about themselves is hilarious. Personally I feel that Harland Williams delivers the most laughs for many reasons, the most notable being how absolutly hidious he is in drag (or out for that matter) but with that mop of red locks he takes the cake for most humorus to look at. This film won't inspire you and it won't make your favorite funny movies list, but it will make you chuckle, at least a little bit...(and I'll mention that the voice of the leader of the KOK house is so incredibly annoying that it's funny...really funny!)
