Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Brightseat_Bully So what if you went to Harvard and not Hampton, this film is still well-shot, well-acted and damn funny. If you can't understand the light vs. dark, town vs. gown, Greeks vs. GDI conflicts, maybe you don't... under... stand... English... well. I never saw the movie in its entirety until I was about 20 (and pledging at an HBCU, but that's another story) but it just got better as I got older. This movie is like many of Spike's: it's for a group of people (Black ones) that rarely get to tell their own stories. If other people get it, super. On a sidenote, what's so "universal" about Dirty Dancing? I've never had to drop out of a contest because of my botched abortion that Lenny from Law & Order had to come help me out with. I've also never been a small, Jewish man in New York City, but people seem to find Woody Allen's movies "universal" enough. Why don't these issues come up with movies made by whi... (ahem) other filmmakers?

john.foulks This is probably Spike Lee's best movie, except for Malcolm X, growing up in Washington DC and being dark skinned, I can relate to what the movie is really saying, I went to one of the lesser known colleges in DC, and I do wish that I could of went to Howard University, but it seemed that if you are light skinned, you will be noticed more than others, I was truly inspired about Spike Lee's performance as Half Pint, he was infatuated as being a gammar man, and was really trying very hard to fulfill his obligations and make everyone believe he is strong and not weak, I also liked the other actors in the movie like Lawrence (Larry) Fishburn and Sammuel L. Jackson whom went on to become huge stars of there on.

leighabc123 I was very young and naive when I first saw this movie. I was a young innocent kid who never even thought about going to college. But I bought this movie on DVD, 17 years after it originally came out. After I completed 5 1/2 years of college at a non HBCU, I understand it better. Once again, Laurence Fishburne was type-casted in this movie. He always plays the guy that knows it all. Spike Lee once again put himself in one of his movies. Most of the Different World cast was in this movie. Tisha Campbell was a very old 18 year old girl in this movie. Tisha's character was a gullible fool in this movie. She licked the guy's head! She also cried over that fool after she was dumped for sleeping with Spike Lee! Jasmine Guy looked as good then as she does today! This movie proves how ignorant men who pledge to fraternities really are. Take the blinders off your eyes! Hazing really occurs in college like the hazing these guys experienced in this movie! It is just not reported. I was amazed to see Tyra Ferrell as a jigaboo instead of a wannabe. If you want to see a great Spike Lee movie, keep looking. But if you want to see a good Spike Lee movie, watch School Daze.

jenjen29204 When this movie first came out I was six years old. From then on I would see it from time to time, but wasn't aware of what School Daze was about. Until I decided to go to an HBCU,then I knew exactly what the meaning of this movie was all about. If you have never attended an HBCU, you can't get the full effect of what this movie is saying. This movie gives you just enough of an HBCU. School Daze is special to me because it was filmed in the AUC, where I attended Dear ol Morris Brown College. This is one out of two of my favorite black college movies, Drumline is my other favorite black college movie which was also filmed in the AUC and which I was apart of.
