Take off your thinking caps, kids! Given the crude promise of its low-concept title, you'd be forgiven for wanting Sorority Boys to be a passable hybrid of Animal House and Some Like It Hot. Reduce those expectations and you'll find this college comedy to be at least mildly amusing, beginning when three frat-rats (Barry Watson, Harland Williams, Michael Rosenbaum) are forced by circumstance to pledge--in drag, of course--at a nearby sorority. They can't begin to pass as females, but the movie's loaded with idiots who don't seem to notice. Even more problematic is the movie's attempt to teach a lesson about sexual politics; better, in this case, to stick with gags about dueling dildos and erections in coed showers, and relish cameos by Animal House alumni and the good-natured charm of Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse) in another nerdy role. With your brain on hold, a few belly laughs are an unexpected bonus. --Jeff Shannon
Description
In the spirit of the season, Disney presents the hilarious comedy adventure that celebrates the believer in all of us. Jake Wilkinson (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), a self-centered college student, has one thing on his mind -- get home for Christmas dinner or forfeit the vintage Porsche his father promised him. Just days before his deadline, Jake awakens in the California desert -- stranded and penniless, wearing a Santa suit and white beard! Desperate to claim his gift, he flies, crawls, cons, races, bullies, and even sleighs his way east. But his nonstop mission turns into a nonstop comedy of errors as a multitude of colorful and offbeat strangers look to "Santa" for help and kindness. The closer Jake gets to home, the closer he gets to the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of family. I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is a trip your entire family will enjoy taking all year long!

Lex Luthor in a dress.......2007-07-08
I watched this movie because I wanted to see Michael Rosenbaum in drag. It was funny in some parts, tolerable in others with some delightful casting choices especially Melissa Sagemiller who was very pretty in glasses and Kerri Higuchi who looked unforgettably adorable without even saying a word (I thought that she was Nicole Bilderback from Bring It On! doing some incredible character acting).
I can't believe I'm saying this!.......2007-01-11
I usually don't like these sophomoric movies that have thin plots and not much substance (American Pie, Scary Movie, Van Wilder, etc) but I found this one funny! The three main characters played their parts so well, and were very funny. This is one movie I can watch again and again and still laugh. Give it a try, it might surprise you.
One-trick-pony.......2006-07-03
This comedy is nothing new to those of you who've seen the onslaught of teen, campy, sex-filled comedies. I will say thought that despite all that, this film is still good for a few laughs, none of which are forced, and it's a nice deversion to a rainy afternoon. Barry Watson, Harland Williams & Michael Rosenbaum play three alumni in the KOK house, a franernity who specializes of getting high and humiliating college girls. Heather Matarazzo plays the leader of the DOG house, a fraternity filled with the 'ugly' girls that are fighting for woman rights. When are three male sexist's get tossed out of the KOK house after being accused of stealing money they are forced to join the DOG house, posing as girls, in order to retreave a video tape from the KOK house that proves their innocence. Neather of the boys look like women in drag but the fact that they don't is what makes it so funny. While no where near as funny as 'White Chicks' it still, as I mentioned, delivers some honest laughs. The first half of the film is a bit redundant for we've all seen the college comedy when the guys act like pigs and sleep with girl after girl...so it's not until they get dragged out that the film delivers for me. The romance that forms between Barry Watson's character and Heather Matarazzo (who by the way is NO UGLY GIRL) is ammusing and the DOG circle scene when they tell something about themselves is hilarious. Personally I feel that Harland Williams delivers the most laughs for many reasons, the most notable being how absolutly hidious he is in drag (or out for that matter) but with that mop of red locks he takes the cake for most humorus to look at. This film won't inspire you and it won't make your favorite funny movies list, but it will make you chuckle, at least a little bit...(and I'll mention that the voice of the leader of the KOK house is so incredibly annoying that it's funny...really funny!)
Hilarious yet has a good moral to the story that women will like - I did! .......2006-06-13
Well, I first heard about this film while searching for a smallville season boxset and clicked on the link to films Michael Rosenbaum had starred in and thought it looked funny. (Also I am curoius as to why Rosenbaum seems to like dressing up as women as I recently discovered he also wore women's clothes in Sweet November! I think he must have a fetish! LOL) So when I was at my local DVD rental shop I decided to see if it was worth a look... well it was! I was literally rolling about the floor laughing my head off! In short it's about 3 guys who get kicked out of their house and the only way to get back in is to join the D.O.G house by dressing as women. For ones who say it's sexist it isn't! I actually found that it taught a lesson to males out there to be much nicer to women and respect them but this film does it in a funny way which is good! I especially thought Michael Rosenbaum was very convincing as a women and infact found it hard to take him seriously as Lex when I next watched Smallville. Sure this film is full of crude male jokes but that's what makes this film so hilarious, I loved every minute of this fun, silly comedy that will have tears rolling down your cheeks! The fact that the boys realise they have been soo cruel and nasty to these poor 'ugly' girls is a good lesson for such males that take that attitude of 'judging a book by it's cover.' The boys then change their attitudes when they are subjected to the same torture as these girls and basically they see how it feels to be treated like that and don't like it, so they decide to start over and treat them with respect! It's a must see for Smallville fans who like Michael Rosenbaum as it is simply ridiculously funny. For those who like a good comedy or a good laugh it is a must have!!
LAME........2005-11-04
Lame! Lame! Lame! Corny sexual humour. No wonder it tanked- if the Amazon.com thing is true. Because it's bad. Don't watch it unless you think e*ections are one of the funniest things in the whole entire world.
