Fraternity House (2008)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

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

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I am usually very generous when it comes to giving star on IMDb especially when it's a independent movie or a really low budget film... I even give 4 stars for a movie like The Hottie & the Nottie! But this time I just can't. This movie lack in creativity, the camera angle are boring, the acting pathetic, the plot non-existent and the script... was there a script? Worst of all this so called comedy is not funny at all. I'm not the guy who will complain about seeing boobs, booze or peoples doing drugs on screen, on the contrary, it's normally a really good premise for a good laugh, especially in movie of this genre, but with this one it just turn flat... If somebody ask me about Fraternity House, I'll simply say: Let's watch something else!

They are trying to sell this one as a "College Animals 3" movie in Germany, College Animals 1 and 2 being (National Lampoons) "Dorm Daze" 1+2. If I haven't lost you yet, you might be on the wrong page. Maybe you were looking for another movie?! ;o) Seriously though: This is just another one of those movies, where you are supposed to cheer and have fun with one very bad idea (staying in College forever). And while I was watching the extras on the DVD, I wasn't sure what to think of the guy who this is actually based on. Most of you will feel sorry for him. But then again, it's not like cares what we think of him. It's just a weird extra (interview) to have on the DVD though.The mentioned Dorm Daze are far better than this, so if you really wanna watch something, go on and watch those.

I have to agree with SamthFan. TheJonAlderman is obviously a plant who was involved with production or distribution, because no one in their right mind can give this 10 stars.I watched it because I was hoping it would be like the Van Wilder flicks or other college movies. Boy was I wrong. Normally the plot lines for college flicks are stupid, but this one is so retarded and unrealistic and poorly formed. The acting was awful, it reminded me of a shitty high school production with kids playing with a new camera they bought. The only thing worse than the acting was the awful writing. The plot jumped around and didn't flow at all. There were holes everywhere (why were they trying to get a scholarship? how would that solve the problem that they were graduating?) I really doubt these writers have been to university and had the college experience, because none of the stuff that was going on was realistic or plausible in any way.All in all, the character development was pitiful, there is no hook whatsoever, and the writing/acting was terrible.Do not see this movie. This is coming from someone who loves stupid movies too.

The people who made this movie weren't looking for Oscars, but they made a good quick watch movie. There has not been a college comedy in awhile and this is quick fresh start for one. Also I am really impressed with the the quality of everything in the movie for the budget they had. There is some original ideas in it, and I think the Pledging scene is the best I have seen for what it is. There is some intense scenes during 'Hell Night' and a bunch of boozing and getting drunk. Takes place in a full day of the last day of the school year. Worth a quick watch from video store or netflix.
