Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

robertlauter25 Some trendy movie goers take themselves's way too seriously, who are they trying to impress, parroting establishment criticts? You can disagree with the subject matter of movies like Fraternity Vacation, but to say the movie wasn't well made is pretty idiotic. I remember watching this movie on U.S.A up all night with Gilbert Godfried in the early 90's. I've had a crush on Kathleen Kinmont ever since and still do. I never understood why she never made a bigger mark. Shery J Wilson is stunning and bring's quiet dignity to an otherwise cliché'd character. Tim Robbins Steven Geofrry's and John Vernon deliver the most laughs by far. Liegh Mcloskey and Matt McCoy have memorable moments as the lead character's nemesis while Amanda Bearse is the perfect snob, she obviously drew from this performance when playing darcy of married with children. Cameron Dye is the weak link in the film, primarily because his character isn't really well written at all. The movie is predictable and sexist...but no one goes to a movie entittled Fraternity Vacation to be shocked and enlightened about the finer points of structural feminism, so I reject that sort of criticism, people get off your soap boxes. This movie is 2nd only to porky's of all the 80's sex comedies. Hardbodies was good too, but not as funny as Fraternity Vacation and the producers wisely made better use of Kathleen Kinmont. I recommend this movie to anyone with a sense of humor. If your offended by Bikini clad bimbos and man whores jockeying for sexual dominance , that's a personal problem and the movie isn't bad because it's subject matter doesn't appeal to you, that's tantamount to saying the Excorcist is bad because some people don't like horror flicks.

lost-in-limbo Some of these films stand out more so than others, but this mid 80s college / teenage sex comedy attempt "Fraternity Vacation" doesn't do a whole to stay in one's memory when compared to most of these type of films. Little is talked about it, as for most part it's rather uninspired and tame, outside the best cheeky sequence involving Barbra Crampton and Kathleen Kilmont getting their kits off. Instead the raunchiness that could have erupted tended to focus more so being soft- hearted led by its charmingly gawky and honest performance by Stephen Geoffrey's. Along for the summer time fun in Palm Springs is some familiar faces with a great ensemble cast in Tim Robbins, Cameron Dye, Sheree J. Wilson (who simply looks gorgeous), Amanda Bearse, Matt McCoy and the rib-tickling John Vernon as the town's stringent sheriff. The jokes are familiar and the scenarios predictable in its premise of the frog getting his princess, but the script is witty enough, pacing moves at a fast clip and the cast etch out amusing performances. "We do everything together."

FilmDeMagnifique I'm prime form, "Fraternity Vacation" proves to be the sleeper knockout shot of the mid-80's. Unlike other fraternity movies, "Fraternity Vacation" provides us with a slightly darker, more intimate side of the party animal lifestyle. I would compare this introspective comedy to classics such as "M.A.S.H." of even the great "Annie Hall" (blasphomy!). I make these comparisons based on the fact that "Fraternity Vacation" digs a little deeper into the motives and psyche of the frat boy. Why do they behave this way? How do their actions reflect youth culture as a whole? At what point will fun turn into consequences? These are all questions that "Fraternity Vacation" attempts to answerer. It sometimes gets a little to deep to the point where it gives the film a gritty feel, but it always maintains a lofty, fun vibe that carries through out the movie. With the Academy Award winning acting caliber of Tim Robbins behind it, "Fraternity Vacation" has the ability to make the viewer laugh and think at the same time.

steninja81 This film is hilarious. 2 jocks are duped into teaming up with a school nerd for a favour to the nerds dad. They see a hot chick and compete with the rival rich jocks to woo her.I particularly enjoyed the part in which one of the rich jocks parachutes into the swimming area of the fraternity holiday resort to promote his book and generally show off to impress the hot chick. The nerd ends up shagging some chick and all is well.Watch this movie if you get a kick out of cheesy 80's flicks.also keep an eye out for a young "tim robbins" of shawshank redemption fame.
