DrPhilmreview Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.--Dean Wormer, "Animal House".Movies like "Going Greek" show how really, really difficult it is to make another film as good and inspired as "Animal House".First, you need to have a good script. This doesn't.Then you need to have a funny cast. This doesn't.Then add in an inspired director who can find and enhance the comedy. Justin Zackhan ain't it.Maybe if the people watching this film are as trite, loud, drunk and stupid as the characters in it, they might find this film amusing, but I doubt it. I found "Going Greek" to be a sad, formulaic waste of time.
bclough-1 OK , i am in a fraternity but this movie is just bad. I wanted to like this movie but the acting is just very bad, and I cant get through it. I just felt that this movie does not do any justice to any of the college movies. I mean I enjoyed animal house and van wilder, but this movie just was a pit of bad acting, with a simple screen play. I do realize that I am not out there writing and producing movies, and give the director and screenplay credit for that, but I still don't see this movie as a great movie, or even decent. I have never even heard of any of the actors in this movie, but that doest bother me. There are many movies that I enjoy where there are actors that I have never heard of, and thats how most good movies start. On this movie however, I see no career for these future actors (wait scratch that) HACKS.
killbillroxxorz The basis of this film is simple. Two college guys wanting to get into the best fraternity on campus. Except Jake doesn't want to pledge, he just wants to keep his scholarship and continue studying. But his nerdy cousin drags him along and sooner he is obligated to stay because of his cousin. Basically.. Avoid this film, its not funny.. It uses basic cheesy humor, that hardly even brought a smile to my face.. The 90 minute movie is pretty much; What happens if you pledge at a major fraternity..It includes..Circle Jerks Binge Drinking Sleeping with Women and.. A lame Scavanger Hunt.If you feel like watching a cheesy frat boy movie where half of them just want to get laid, or you like looking at half naked men for 90 minutes.. Rent it..Do not Buy.. Horrible!
krazydazee2001 Didn't know what to expect when I picked this one up at Tower. I was in a bad mood, in need of some silly fun and this flick looked like it stood a chance.Well, it did...and then some!!Man was I surprised. I can't believe I never heard of this before - it didn't have a studio name on it except for Hart Sharp and LIttle Fish which I never heard of.The movie is HILARIOUS. I could go into all of the scenes (Elevator and Circle Jerk being the best!) but you'll just have to trust me on this one. I went in expecting little and ended up loving it. Chalk this one up for the collection!
