After being falsely accused of stealing the budget for their annual cocktail cruise, three very different fraternity brothers are kicked out of their dorm. In order to clear their name and to secure their future careers, the three dress up in drag and pledge the sorority next door where they learn a few valuable - and hilarious - lessons about themselves and the female species.

I love this movie so much
So much average
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Have watched this film probably a hundred times and I'm still not sick of it. It is laugh out loud hilarious and it doesn't need big stars to draw you in and make you care about the characters. Great acting from the three leads and a really heartwarming, feminist (yes, feminist! And I liked it!) storyline. You will love it despite yourself.
OK, so the plot isn't all THAT original, guys in distress resort to dressing as chicks to investigate a crime they are falsely accused of, but the result is a laugh a minute. The subject matter can actually be thought of seriously in a way, if you think about what is going on on college campuses today.The thing that makes this film is the acting, and the unaffected way the guys get into it. They don't try to be girls, they just kind of dress up like them, and then hang out. The occasional "does this make me look fat?" comes off as really funny because of this. Every guy (almost) can relate to the detached way they discuss "issues" like self esteem, etc., with a sort of , "like, what the F are they talking about?" way about them.I have read some really nasty pieces about this film, from some really angry types (oh yea, you know who). They really need to take a giant chill pill, they would really get a laugh out of films like this , if they would just learn to lean back and enjoy them. I would also ad, just what our sorority boys would- "What the F are ya talking about?"
Some movies live up to their hype, some do not, & some are actually better than expected.'S.B.'s ' falls into the last category.The title alone should make it clear this is not ' Citizen Kane '.Yet it is a worthy successor to ' Animal House ', which is fitting, as the cast includes several ' A.H. ' alumni, in cameo roles.This film is well-written, directed, and acted- -And most importantly, it is really F---ing Funny!!!(There are some great lines, such as, " ...My Name is Roberta, & I'm Addicted to Porn, and I Masturbate Constantly! ")I honestly cannot understand why other inferior raunchy comedies (' Bridesmaids ', Etc.), are actually rated higher.That's a mystery, and also an injustice. This movie is far more worth your time! :-)M
Sorority Boys (2002): Dir: Wallace Wolodarsky / Cast: Barry Watson, Harland Williams, Michael Rosenbaum, Melissa Sagemiller, Tony Denman: Stupid comedy about one gender poising as another as three college boys are accused of stealing fraternity money and driven off campus. They must gain possession of a video tape in order to gain access to whom the thief really is. To this they dress in drag and are accepted into a fraternity for ugly girls. One of the girls is too dumb to realize that the woman she is showering with is actually a guy. One of the boys makes a fatal trip to the male frat house and is nearly molested by a guy. There is even a fight sequence involving rubber penises. Shameless and predictable humiliation with Barry Watson, Harland Williams and Michael Rosenbaum hardly resembling women and viewers are asked to react as stupid as the characters they encounter. Melissa Sagemiller is even worse playing an airhead who cannot tell an impostor when the audience isn't buying it. Director Wallace Wolodarsky makes good use of slow motion but for superior males in drag movies I recommend Some Like It Hot and Tootsie, which were funny and a little more convincing in their attempt to convey a male as a female. Sorority Boys is an embarrassing charade done countless times where perhaps the reel should be used as a bra stuffer. Score: 1 / 10
