Is it possible to be politically correct and unified? Find out in this satire set on a fictional eastern university. Port Chester University espouses pc thinking. From the Womynists to the Republicans... read more read more..., everyone there is involved in a cause; many of them are militant. So involved are they, that there is no time to go to class. Much of the story focuses upon residents of the Pit, a co-ed dorm devoted to anarchy and anti-pc philosophy. They are led by Droz. All of the other groups loathe the Pit dwellers, and wish to close it down. President Garcia-Walker is also unpopular for her unbending uptight demeanor. The film's highlight is a giant party featuring the musical stylings of George S. Clinton and Funkadelic. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

    This is one of the most best college movies ever. Jeremy Piven is grat in this. And this is just a wonderful wonderful fun movie. I loved it.

    This movie is often described as the Animal House of the 90s. I suppose that's true, it is very 90s, but unlike animal house it isn't very funny. This is going to be an extremely dated movie in the future, and just get less funny as time goes by. If you'd like to remember the ... read more90s, rent this movie, if not, don't see it.

    The same silliness as Animal House and many other versions of the story. But pleasant enough.

    One of my all-time favorite comedies. This movie stars a younger yet Balder Jeremy Piven, as well as a large Jon Favreau as flunky college frat pros who never want to leave the confines of college, but as the Dean finds ways to boot them the frat in The Pit must fight back.

    Hard to hate this movie. Really hard to admit I like it. Favreau must have weighed a deuce and a half.

    Pretty bad Piven/Spade movie. I would consider it a B movie version of Van Wilder... now thats not sayin much

Take Piven out of the equation and it'd be a whole lot uglier. Full Review

Yet another horny frat boy romp edited and confined in repeated airings on Comedy Central

It's probably politically incorrect to like this movie, but hey, it made me laugh.
