First off before I start I will say this; I'm Chinese and this film was very racist, sexist, pigist, homophobicist & all the other " ists" out there that i missed lol but it was damn funny n done in funny ways & I loved the movie! This film was hilarious, though seems maybe low budget but overall It didnt bother me that much as the film progressed. Hot chicks, funny jokes & outrageous scenes like wow smoke a spliff n watch away lol .
Also for anyone saying this film is too racist.. well you know...all racist & sexist comments they made about every race, colour, genders they actually didnt discriminate in the way that they tried too insult every race & gender so no one felt left out lmao, being Inclusional was on their agenda foreal lol.
Lets be real here this is a comedy film & if you so easily butt hurt then why did you watch about Frat clubs ?? Did you all really think Frat Clubs are all peace & love & respect & not racist lol? Did you think all of the most powerful Frat organizations out there had upstanding & respectful members? Theirs a reason why the rich & powerful clique together in Frats cuz they dont want too associate with lower classes & they want too take advantage of each others future potential connections to enrich themselves n become powerful men In America. If u watched this film knowing its about Frats & Sex n u try to claim u had no idea it could be this offensive then you must have lived a sheltered life to be so innocent.
Anyway, though they made racist remarks about the chinese character & Im chinese too but I found it funny cuz sure its offensive in the real world but when your watching a movie u should let loose n open your minds, I mean that part about when Chang asked something about if the outcome will be judged as a curve?; then the Frat guy says No! It will be judged on a Slant!! Omg that had me laughing hard lol. Comedians make fun of their own race n ethnicity & ppl will laugh but then when its said by a white person in a comedy film its like oh no! Thats offensive! If it was some white guy who walked by n said something racist I would put him down of course no questions asked, but its a comedy film so..ya its totally different.
Lastly I will say everyone is racist in some way or degree whether u know it or not, its normal but people wanta act like they aint. Anyone to tell u they never been racist is a straight up lie, the only difference between everyone is which asshole acts full on racist & which are just alittle. From you not wanting your daughters to date black men, to see some country white guy n thinking hes a white hick, to you hating on someone cuz their mixed ethnicities & making jokes u thought were harmless by saying they cant speak their own language properly or they dont look either race cuz they mixed, or u thought white or asian ppl cant rap or you felt asian ppl cant be macho or be good basketball players, or you feeling this minority girl dates a white guy cuz shes after the money, or u just see a blonde white girl n u think shes a dumb blonde? Or u just thinking cuz hes asian that he has a small manhood, All of these might seem harmless or some may argue its not racist but the fact is that ur perceptions of them is because of their race & u believe them to be lesser in value cuz of their race & u believe that their race equates to them all being the same.

The only good part about this entire movie is billy's roomate. The acting is better in middle school theater classes and the plot is overall garbage.
Not to mention that the Greek life in the movie is completely fictionalized by including extreme racism and a weird fetish for money which isn't humorous at any point of the movie. The main character's development is just not interesting and by the end of you movie i'm just glad it is over. The netflix fast forward button is definitely helpful when watching this cancer so make sure to use it if you ever decide to put this on for torture.

One of worst movies I've ever watched. Just poor everything with this exception. The ending. From the last scene with the girl, his alter ego talking to dad, and his alter ego walking away from him an saying "I've got work to do". If ever there was a movie that needed a sequel it's this one. Does he somehow get the girl, how does dad take the frat news, and lastly what work does the alter ego need to do?
I could sit through a sequel just to get these questions answered. Not for everyone I'm sure but I really hate movies that leave this much open to your imagination...
Moral of the story, dont become something you're not just to impress others
Looking at the trailer for this film I honestly kind of knew what to expect: gratuitous nudity, crude jokes and questionable acting. If I was to measure the success of the film based on my expectations, I would have to say it certainly delivered.
I easily watched the movie from beginning to end with interest and was disappointed with the ending which I won't discuss here. One of the stronger points of the film is the acting of Justin Mark, who plays Billy Hawkins. He has an on-screen charisma and delivery that helps to carry some otherwise very awkwardly staged scenes. At times I wonder if he might have been better cast as the Nick Cooper character.
The film follows a B movie formula in terms of its execution, and I think that's important to keep in mind when trying to appraise what we have here exactly. But even then, it does fall short. For example, it fails to adequately capture the energy and life of a college party at a frat house. In one scene, a bunch of girls are seated on the porch not really doing anything but maybe holding drinks. I can't help but wonder what a boring party that might be. As a student at Georgetown, walking down the street near campus, you can hear loud bumping music coming from any number of student houses.
Failing to capture the essence of what it is to be a party, is just one of many failures. And that does make a difference, it makes one question the entire purpose of the film. The debauchery of college is about excess, in particular bacchanalian style binges.
A good B movie goes too far, which is why it's a B movie. This movie doesn't go far enough and at the end it makes you wonder if you've gone anywhere at all. I think it's worth a watch, but approach it with an open mind.
