ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
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.
noodleman I've always liked American comedies, and this little gem is one of my all time favorites. What more can I say. The girls are nice to look at, the jokes are really funny...did I mention the girls are nice to look at?The story is about two cousins who help each other through pledging a fraternity - since we don't have fraternities Down Under I don't know how realistic the portrayals are but it looks like a blast!I don't think it came out in theaters - definitely not in Austalia - but it's well worth your time to check it out on video.Also has really well done DVD goodies including a deleted scene with the scrumptious Claire Forlani. The director's commentary is the best I've ever heard - he really goes into the bits and pieces of what it took to get the film made and has lots of advice for other aspriing directors.Well worth a look!
duckbutter I rented this movie despite the cheap looking box. What I found out was...trust the box. This is one of those movies that never quite feels like a movie. The story is totally predictable, the gross out humor is sparce and the acting is wooden and totally unbelievable. This film was trying to be Animal House and Porky's but ends up more like...ah nothing, because there's no story here. Do yourself a favor and watch Police Academy instead. Yaar!
blackgirlpearl2000 A girl in my dorm, yeah, I'm in summer school, had a copy of this, and we thought it would be a stupid knock-off of the above films. And while it does stick to most of the conventional situational comedy gags, there really was a lot to offer here, including some jokes I never even imagined... Do frat boys really do some of this??!!Knowing the guys as UCSB, I wouldn't put it past them, but this movie did a really good job of telling the story in a way that made it feel more real and less Hollywood - which I mean as a good thing.The cast was really good, I only recognized a few of them from other movies, and it felt like a really well made film - waaay better than 99% of the recent teen sex "comedies". My friend said it's coming out soon, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone in college.
