Diagonaldi Very well executed

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Sandcooler "PCU" is the typical story of a movie that got slaughtered at the box office, but somehow still found an audience afterwards. It's not difficult to see why it didn't take of right away: it's really sort of a thinking man's college comedy. It utterly refuses to go down the usual gross-out route (it's a great route, but still), but instead tries to be a biting satire. Some of the stuff is pretty good (protesting against protests!), other stuff falls flat but you still appreciate the effort. The actors are sort of a mixed bag, but Jeremy Piven owns the movie with a charismatic performance as the token rebel. I'm assuming Megan Ward was also great, I was distracted by her intense 90s hotness. There aren't that many gags overall, but the brutal style of the thing definitely makes it stand out. "PCU" may not be the hidden gem of 90s comedies some have tried to make of it, but I'm happy it's still around.

clavalon One of the best attempts at recreating the legendary iconography that is Animal House. This movie is full of quotable quotes and less than known actors at the time. Check it out if only for Jeremy Piven, Jon Favreau and Jake Busey in an amusing cameo as a stoner/ultimate Frisbee player. Favreau and Piven's interaction recalls old comedy schtick but in a very endearing way. The appearance of George Clinton makes the movie worth watching if only for the party scene. And if you didn't already think the soundtrack to hell was going to be Starland Vocal Band here in lies a scene to convince you otherwise. David Spade should not be overlooked in his role as a preppy frat boy wanna-be and his rant about all of the PC sects at the end of the movie is completely priceless. This movie though much overlooked is a cult classic and should be well recognized in the pantheon of college themed flicks.

xredsunrisesx I'd just like to say that this isn't a direct comparison of Animal House but lets be honest there is only so much to do on a college campus film except pranks, drinking, party's, and all around obnoxious fun behavior. This film pulls it off in every direction. Great acting, hysterical characters and quick dialogue followed up by an awesome soundtrack. This is definitely a must see for all fans of screwball college movies such as: Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, Back to School and so on. Jeremy Piven delivers an outstanding lead comedic roll (despite creative confinement, listen to his audio commentary for more about that). David Spade has always played a great jerk if you'll excuse the oxymoron. These two veterans of comedy go to show how well they preformed in their earlier film carries as well as now. So don't hesitate if your down with funny, fast passed slapstick comedy throw this one in your DVD player.

dbogosian A shame this little gem didn't get the broad appeal of other movies that simply copy it or wimp out on the jokes. This is a movie that I can watch every year and always fully enjoy it.The George Clinton song at the end truly rocks and may be the first true foray into GC's funk that most suburban under 21's see and hear. I recommend this movie highly.
