 Lighten Up August 29, 2005
This movie is hilarious. It is also what you expect. It is not an Oscar winning epic nor it is designed to be. Don't bash it for being silly, it it what is is - roll on the floor funny!

The first time I watched this movie I laughed so hard I was crying. It has the funniest parts. If you liked Old School, Van Wilder, or Scary Movie 1 & 2, then this movie is definitely for you.

Sorority Boys is a pretty bad comedy about three fraternity brothers who are kicked out of their house and are forced to act as girls in order to live for free in a sorority house. While I was watching this movie (and at the same time thinking that I was wasting my time) I noticed that there were some very important issues being brought up. The film is based on existing stereotypes of how women should look, dress, and act. We take on the view of a bunch of fraternity boys who talk about women's bodies, objectify them, call them names if they are anything but the ideal embodyment of emaciated femininity, and use them for sex and conversation. The sorority that these three boys end up joining if called D.O.G. The women in this sorority are not beautiful, thin, or petite, and are constantly made fun of by everyone else on their campus. There is another sorority though, that is full of thin but busty women who are always wearing pink, and somehow always manage to have wet t-shirts. This movie is quite remarkable because it shows both sides of the spectrum. At first we are presented with stereotypes of what college boys expect and want women to be and look like. Later on in the film, however, when the boys are living in the sorority house and are trying to pass as women, we see a different perspective. They are obviously not women. Here is a good example of the verfremdungseffekt or distantiation effect, where something in the film makes it clear that it is not a presentation of reality. In this film everyone believes that these boys are in fact women. The ineresting part is watching these boys who, in no way make believable women, struggle with being called and feeling ugly and overweight. We see these boys begin to embrace, accept, and defend the women that thay once made fun of. The film them takes a turn and begins to critique female stereotypes, instead of reinforcing them. The film challanges Foucault's theory of the panopticon. This idea implies that people in society know that they are constantly being observed by others in that society and therefore begin to act a certain way. In terms of women, this can be seen as women knowing that they are always being looked at by men, so they begin to act and dress the way they want to be seen by these men. In this film, the members of the D.O.G sorority do not care that they are being made fun of by their entire school. They love each other and help one another to feel beautiful and self-confident. They do no worry about the way they are seen, nor do they do anything to try and remedy their images. They are proud of each other and themselves, and do not internalize the panopticon of their campus. At first glance, this film does not offer any promise of learning anything, but as you delve deeper, there is much to be gained from Sorority Boys.
Silly and Great February 14, 2004
I discovered this film on cable, and can't believe I missed it. Many funny momments in this film. Here's one of em:"The girl was fair
Who went upstairs
With her favorite KOK She knocked around
And came back down,
And now she takes the walk The Walk of Shame -
She's not to blame.
Who could resist the KOK? The Walk of Shame,
She found her fame,
And now she takes the walk!"
"My favorite Comedy" February 6, 2004
I saw Sorority Boys a few years back and I remember I couldn't stop laughing.
Ave (Barry Watson), Adam (Michael Rosenbaum) and Doofer (Harland Williams) are about to go where no frat boy has gone before. They're three playboy chauvinists who, strapped for cash, find themselves drawn to one last, desperate hope for free housing: one of their campus' sororities, Delta Omicron Gamma (or D.O.G.). With a little make-up, a little pantyhose and lots of "pluck," they go undercover as Daisy, Adina and Roberta. Everything goes fine until Dave falls for Leah (Melissa Sagemiller), the alpha D.O.G. The boys see firsthand how the other half lives and their history of treating women badly comes back to haunt them when they walk a mile in their shoes. Meanwhile, Dave wants to tell Leah about who he really is, but without destroying "Daisy's" relationship with the girl of his dreams. What's a boy pretending to be a girl to do?
Hilarious is the only word I could use to describe Sorority Boys. I watched this movie three times in a row and it was funnier with every viewing. "Sorority boys" is definitely not a family film. The dialogue was funny, the acting was funny, absolutely everything about it was funny and no I'm not exaggerating. Sorority Boys is the funniest movie I've ever seen and my favorite comedy of all time.
This is a definite must-see for teens and adults looking for a goof laugh and is a great DVD to add to your collection. I can't tell you how many laughs Sorority Boys gave me. Every time I'm at a video rental store this is the first comedy I recommend to anyone there.
The jokes were really funny sex jokes and the movie was extremely raunchy and shouldn't be missed! Buy Sorority Boys today.
