I read a lot of the comments on here before viewing. OK first off, it is certainly not worth paying money to see in theaters (but that is besides the point considering that it's not in theaters anymore). The acting wasn't bad, nor was the actual content in the movie, but it just felt like the poor man's Superbad...same premise, just done worse.Casting Drake Bell as the lead is a bad idea. I've watched a few eps of his TV show "Drake and Josh". I think it is a pretty decent TV show, just it has him in a dual-lead situation with Josh Peck, and Josh is the real reason the show is as good as some perceive it to be. Casting Drake without Josh is akin to casting David Spade without Chris Farley, to put it better.The other two main characters, the fat one and the nerdy one weren't terrible, but they weren't great either. What you usually find with these trio-lead movies like Superbad, or quad-lead like Road Trip, is good harmony between the characters that makes for some funny situations. There really wasn't much of that in College, especially with the fat one knocking on the nerdy one all the time. Remove that from a movie like this and you are spelling disaster.What made Superbad good was its slapstick comedy and some very good banter back and forth from the all the characters. There wasn't much of that in College, but the movie was comical to watch. OBVIOUSLY what occurs in this movie is not what goes on in college for the most part, but its fun to dream, i suppose.Contrary to what all the 1/10 comments would have you believe, you should be capable of sitting through this movie start to finish. There's a lot of TNA in the movie (look it up if you don't know what it means), so some good eye candy. The only thing that this movie was lacking was some good dry, sarcastic humor that you would find in Superbad and the sort.
The fat kid makes it unwatchable. I saw the first few minutes and he was so bad I had to turn it off. I thought to myself this character was supposed to be like the fat kid in Goonies. But he's worse.Then, for some reason I did end up watching this whole piece of crap. The filmmakers picked the gayest high school kids ever, all with high voices, its really quite bizarre.Every single stupid and worthless cliché is here, but its been done much better and funnier elsewhere.Worthless, unwatchable crap. Stay away and just go watch animal house again instead
This movie was utterly ridiculous and without any redeeming qualities. I doubt there will another movie this bad in the next 5-10 years. The portrayed college experience was so far off base that I find it hard to believe anyone involved in this movie ever went to or visited a college in their lives. Worse yet, this movie is wrought with extensive homo-eroticism that was offensive to every person of every sexuality. The movie is listed as a comedy, but nothing about it was funny. Instead they used sad, old school, low ball, grotesque antics and poor acting to hold together a weak story line. I couldn't help but think of College as Superbad remade by mentally ill drug addicts in the basement of a half-way house. No, that was unfair. That version would have been much better. Avoid this movie at all cost.
My husband and I watched this hammered and really enjoyed it. I think that you need to be in an "altered state" to have a good time with it. I want people to understand that this is a silly little movie that isn't meant to be taken seriously.Do not expect Citizen Kane, much less Animal House. But it definitely has it's moments! I would say, "Two enthusiastic thumbs up!"I totally have a crush on Drake Bell, as does my hubby.Kevin Covais acquits himself well, to my surprise. And that's about it! A nice silly romp, if you don't expect much. I was very pleasantly surprised with the depth of production value.The script.... Well, the script isn't much, but there are some terrific moments. Not spoiling, the "body shots" scene is HILARIOUS! Which you would be able to tell from the trailer.ps. I am reviewing this immediately after watching, which means that I'm still WAY tipsy. Thank gods for spell check.pps. It might be good even if not drunk. Who knows?
