College
College tells the same threadbare story as a dozen other movies about wide-eyed newcomers arriving at a college campus and finding an institution of higher learning to be a focal point of debauchery. Drake Bell (of TV’s Drake & Josh) stars as Kevin, a cautious high school senior who gets dumped by his girlfriend for being boring. Determined to be a free spirit, Kevin pays a pre-enrollment weekend visit to a university with his best friends, the uptight Morris (Kevin Covais) and …

College paints the same tried and true portrait of drunken debauchery that high school kids love to watch, and while it manages to provide a little bit of laughs, it doesn’t end up nearly being as funny as it could be. Basically Superbad-lite, College tells the tale of a trio of high school kids (Drake Bell, Andrew Caldwell, Kevin Covais) looking for some fun at a college campus on the weekend. Running afoul of some frat boys (Nick Zano, Gary Owen, and Whitest Kids U Know member Zach Cregger), the trio partake in the usual mix of hijinks that you’d expect from this sort of thing, with a few laughs to be found to be sure, but not nearly enough to hold your interest during the film’s whole running time. It doesn’t help when our trio of heroes prove to be more annoying than the frat boys they’re taking on either. You’ll definitely see worse comedies of this type than College, but you know you’re in for a rough time when you get more laughs watching the DVD’s blooper reel than watching the actual flick.

I’m not going to go in detail on this movie like most reviews, cause this movie is so terrible that it doesn’t need to take anymore time from my life. Quite plain and simple, pass on this movie. It sucked BAD! I can’t explain how awful it was. It seemed like a k-mart version Super Bad. No wait, more like a Dollar Store version. Just plain crap. I gave it one star, because I couldn’t give it 0 stars. It’s so bad, it’s not even pirate worthy.

Honestly, I’m surprised the current direct-to-video headliner “National Lampoon’s…” wasn’t above the title. Take three typical high school seniors, the fat wisecrack kid (think Jack Black & Chris Farley had a son), the nerdy kid (played by Kevin Covais, American Idol 5th Season finalist who no one really took seriously), and the “normal” kid (Nickelodeon escapee Drake Bell), and place them in the same old story of spending their first weekend ever in the future college they wish to attend and all the equally stereotypical hot drunk girls and mean as Hell frat guys they encounter. If you’ve seen Animal House, Revenge Of The Nerds, or any film that had some member counting on getting that scholarship and drunkenly blowing it badly, you’ve already seen this film. However due to the changing times, the extremely high levels of nudity and sexual situations, surprisingly high in let’s say “alternative lifestyles”, will remind you why films like this today need that little over-the-top extra to even get mentioned in the same paragraph as those real college classics. But when it boils down to it, it does have a couple of laughs, groans, and guffaws, but nothing to make you really want to see it a second time. It’s disc has both the Unrated (that really, really pushes it) and a Rated (will anybody choose/see this version?) plus a gag reel, half of which is already in the end credits ala a Burt Reynolds film. For a rent it’s not too bad, but the filmmakers here should go back a grade to see why college films succeeded so much in the first place without trying so hard to blow us away with gross-out jokes than actually well-written ones.
