FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

MCL1150 I must have watched PCU over two dozen times back in the late 90s when Comedy Central was running it to death. Absolutely the kind of film I would NEVER EVER think I'd like, but I watch it every time it's on. I developed a genuine affection for it. Why? I don't know. After all, it's 90% "Animal House" ripoff right to the core. The whole slob-house gang versus the useless administration and annoying rival Greek letter outfit. Instead of "Otis, My Man!" there's George Clinton and P-Funk. Instead of Otter, there's Droz, instead of John Belushi, there's "Gutter" and so on. I know this reads like I'm putting it down, but far from it. Any movie about college that features a student who's senior thesis is watching TV 24/7 just to prove that there's always a Gene Hackman or Michael Caine movie playing is OK with me! Very twisted! I'll never buy the DVD, but I will watch it anytime I happen to catch it on my cable.

spasmo dunson I saw PCU in the theatre and a couple months later got to see the P-Funk All Stars at Lollapalooza, so that was pretty cool. I watch this movie about once a year on my old VHS and it still cracks me up. It had a lot of future and former TV stars in it. Jeremy Piven has done a ton of stuff since then. Megan Ward, (hot,hot,hot) went on to do Dark Skies, that cool alien invasion series on TV. Chris Young had Max Headroom to his credit, one of the coolest shows ever! Alex Desert had the very neat show,The Flash, behind him. I never realized what a science fictiony bunch they were. Just a lot of funny ideas very well done in this film. Pig Man watching TV nonstop for his thesis on the theory that a Michael Caine or Gene Hackman movie can be found anytime. The skateboard guys that aren't any good. The stoners fascinated by a spinning frisbee. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Jon Favreau, I heard he's supposed to be directing the new Iron Man movie. He played the house metalhead, Gutter. That guy has come a LONG way. David Spade did what he does best, he was a snotty little t--d. Jessica Walter, a hotty in her own right, was the only "grown-up" star, as the college president. Sort of an Animal House for the '90's, with political correctness being the central theme. If I remember correctly, I was the only guy in the theatre when I saw this. I'm glad it's finding it's audience on DVD. I'm gonna go out and buy one and while I'm at it, I'll get a Starland Vocal Band CD, too.

cfabrick I my opinion PCU is the coolest college movie. Yes it is silly and simplistic, but so is college. It comments on our culture in a very clever way and it is just one of those movies that you can have fun while watching.When I first saw this movie I really thought that college was like the made-up Portchester University and I was a little disappointed to discover it wasn't. College is, however , about having a great time with your friends and trying to discover who you are and what you stand for. PCU shows how the students of Portchester are assertive enough to express their opinions. Jeremy Piven is one of my favorite actors and I do not think he gets enough work or credit. The story does lack a lot of character development, but I would not watch this movie hoping to see the most amazing film ever made. David Spade also shines as the slimy, little conservative rat he is. John Faverau rocks as the idiotic stoner and who can forget the surprise appearance by George Clinton.

bbstring Hit Me!!!Jeremy Piven really is impressive in this role, which frankly gained my attention. This really makes the film..... HE IS THE FILM, well almost.Is It For U?Hate over glossy hollywood productions? prefer smaller budgets and original acting?So....This is PCU, a college film unlike Road Trip or American Pie 1,2,3,126,5002, whatever... Some gloss, great acting(my god it really does make the film!), good setting, good script, no great script!!!However...Two points though... the plot is not the most complicated ever.... the characters are sometimes stereotypical and predictable... but thats college movies... how else can it be done..Trust me.... this made my year!
