    An ugly, unfunny frat comedy.

    This low-rent frat house comedy is at once far more vulgar and decidedly less anarchic than its obvious inspiration and should flunk out of theaters before this year's crop of freshman students even finish unpacking their bags.

    Strains to sell itself as one crazy ride (raging parties! hot lesbian sex! bare breasts!), and chances are it won't disappoint those looking solely for unadulterated raunch.

    In the battle for the hearts, minds and fat wallets of North American teens, College fights dirtier and sinks lower than most gross-out screen comedies.

    A tedious, by-the-numbers raunch-fest that exists strictly because it can.

    The grime, filth, slop, vomit, and crotch-nibbling pigs double all too easily as a recipe for this movie's failure. It hasn't been made so much as excreted.

    College, a film so persistently loud and annoying that it single-handedly makes the case for drugging yourself with a roofie.

    Film critics never come home stinking of their honest labor, but the nearest equivalent is reviewing something like College, which leaves its stain on one's very humanity.

    I giggled at moments, and the movie definitely has its moments, but oh my god it's bad. It is so obvious that it sticks to a structure it's awkwardly, embarrassingly obvious, as if the creators made no effort at all to make it seemless. It's definitely the worst college/high-school movie produced this decade.… Full Review »

    This is the filthiest put down of our youth and higher education that you could put on the screen and charge people to see. I walked out and I blame myself for not reviewing it better.… Full Review »

    It has its good moments, but still a weak entry into the genre.
