Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
There are moments of real funniness in this smarter-than-anticipated goof-fest.

75
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
This comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative.

60
Film Threat
Eric Campos
If you're hard up for raunchy college humor, this is your ticket right here.

50
Variety
Dennis Harvey
A cut above most youth-skewed sex comedies of late, with bouncy execution and an unsophisticated but positive gender-sensitivity message elevating a so-so script.

50
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Unoriginal but effective raunchy drag comedy.

50
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
All's well that ends well, and rest assured, the consciousness-raising lessons are cloaked in gross-out gags.

40
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
The result is crass but reasonably harmless, although to hear one of the guys hold forth on how much he's learned about family and loyalty in just one week living with the DOGs is enough to make a person gag.

38
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Jason Anderson
The film's putrid sexism is subverted in a series of sharp and funny scenes that at least raise Sorority Boys to the level of "American Pie."

38
Chicago Tribune
Loren King
The situations and jokes are as predictable and as lowbrow as the endless pratfalls the boys take in their high heels.

38
Boston Globe
Loren King
Crude, lewd comedy that makes ''Animal House'' seem wholesome.

30
LA Weekly
Paul Malcolm
If only they had the courage of their crassness.

30
Washington Post
Dave Nuttycombe
To that long list of third- and fourth-rate comedies we can now add Sorority Boys.

25
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Ellen A. Kim
Somebody in Hollywood thought taking "Some Like It Hot" and "Animal House," sticking them in a blender and serving in Dixie cups was a good idea. That somebody should be fired.

25
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Recycles the most obvious jokes from similar comedies that preceded it, such as "Tootsie," but with the most rudimentary characters.
20
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The logic of it all will be Greek to anyone not predisposed to the movie's rude and crude humor.

20
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
They don't even look as if they're having fun. Their stint as cross-dressers is simply an endurance test for them, and for us.

12
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
One element of Sorority Boys is undeniably good, and that is the title. Pause by the poster on the way into the theater. That will be your high point.

10
New Times (L.A.)
David Ehrenstein
Not only unfunny, but downright repellent.
0
The Onion (A.V. Club)
Nathan Rabin
A shockingly inane college comedy that accomplishes the nearly impossible feat of being far worse than it looks.

0
The New York Times
Dana Stevens
A film that even a rabid lowbrow like Homer Simpson (or, when the mood strikes, this critic) would find beneath his dignity.
