Pledge This! (2006)

Really Surprised!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Without the participation of Paris in this film, for me it might have rated a 5 at least: there are some funny scenes.However, due to Paris' efforts, this film is definitely not worth more than a 1/10 - at the time of writing this review this film has a score of 1.6, which has to be somewhere way down the rankings.A bit of a spoiler here - the last scene features a food fight involving custard pies etc. - guess who comes out without a morsel of food anywhere about her person? Yup, Paris! Not sure what her name is, but the actress who plays the 'mature student' was great.If you do get around to seeing this, make sure it's the uncut version as the gratuitous topless shots here and there are part of what makes it funny.

First off let me say that I like Paris Hilton. She's not a horrible actress, but she didn't do too spectacular either. This movie is like a cross between "The House Bunny" and "Revenge of the Nerds". Victoria English (Hilton) is the sorority president of "GAMMA GAMMA" who lets the "campus geeks" (which most of them really don't look that geeky) pledge her sorority because it adds "Diversity" to her group and will get her on the cover of FH magazine as soon as her sorority is chosen she publicly humiliates the pledges and gets rid of them. The rest of the movie is about the geeks getting Victoria back. Ms.Hilton's best performance was still in Repo!, but this is a good time passer with a few good laughs. Not as bad as "Bottom's Up" that was complete trash.

. . . FULLY CLOTHED!!! Okay, if you play with your remote's "pause" and "zoom" for a while at 59:40, you might be able to quibble a little, but really, who would actually bother? What's there to see, when you really come down to it? And speaking of Paris, how many flicks offer viewers the chance to compare the self-styled Hotel Hottie's acting skills against those of Carmen Electra? (Has Dennis Rodman considered marrying Paris for a few minutes? It could get his name back in the news, if he goes as Half-and-Half, as in half tux, half white train.)When all is said and done, if this movie--PLEDGE THIS!--does not deserve its current infamy as the 25th-lowest rated film of all time, it certainly checks in on National Lampoon's bottom 25. (Oh, wait, it's pretty much the SAME LIST! Silly me!)

1. I am not young. I am Old (50+) 2. I know my "cinema history" , what you USA residents may see at TNT, etc. Art house too. 3. I also like " kids movies", as they are shown a lot here on comm. TV too (that s not " red", it is Kommersjal !!). (we have PUBLIC TV here as well!!) I mean, "Scream" (1), Scary Movie, etc they aren't THAT bad....Some Lohan flicks neither (Like where she changes with her mother). Last night one of our Comm Nets did this film . IT IS THE WORST PIECE OF FILMED STORY I HAVE EVER HAD TO SEE. (Apart from the Dutch 1970s film with P. Faber a.o. , called In Je Blote Reet or so) Of course, I changed channel after 20-30 minutes..... why the .... do these Dutch TV comp's buy this nonsense anyway, or was it a Package Deal ?? (With the ever present Basic Instinct, the Missioon |IMp.'s 1,2,3, the Rambo's etc. ??) Let Paris keep on partying and choke in it too.
