Sorority Boys
This felt like a cheesy old Canadian-made movie. The premise is pretty simple: 3 guys get kicked out of their fraternity after being accused of theft, and dress up as girls to get into the "ugly girls" sorority while they try to prove their innocence. In the meantime, they learn not to objectify women. The humour is predictably crude, but much more implied than the content of current R-rated films like The Hangover. On top of all that, the most cliché part is that one of the boys falls for one of the girls in the sorority.
I was half-asleep after a long night of movie-watching, drinking, and sleeping on a leather love seat (so basically I didn't sleep well), so I was not totally invested in this movie, but I did pay attention to the whole thing. It felt like a slightly inappropriate teen movie. It was cheesy; there was a relationship I rooted for and one that creeped me out (the guy in love with his brother in drag); there was a cliché (but important) message about appearance versus reality and respecting women.
Some of the men cast to play the main characters seemed a little too old for the parts they were playing. Although I realize that college students can be any age, I know that these boys were not intended to be mature students. The characters seemed a little more like caricatures, which made it more like a teen movie. They were all so stereotypically girly, or masculine, or whatever.
Frankly, I don't have much else to say about this. There were some funny parts, some sort of uncomfortable parts, but noting remarkable enough to make me want to watch it again.
