  • Summary: A typical Midwestern 18-year-old freshman at a large state university, who is eager to delve into the college party life, instead discovers that school is not the beer-driven sexual fantasy of his imagination. Determined to do anything to obtain the girl of his dreams (a gorgeous but reluctant sorority girl), he decides to adopt a gay identity in order to insinuate himself in her life. This casual charade, however, quickly lands him in a morass of campus activism, gender warfare, fraternity hazes, sorority torture, "coming out" narratives, political martyrdom, and ultimately, a university-wide meltdown.

    Feels a bit like a missed opportunity. It's too bad the motion picture as a whole isn't as quirky and clever as its double-edged title.

    With intermittently amusing glee, writer-director Ryan Shiraki's tyro film, Freshman Orientation, frolics through the political minefields of a typical college campus.

    Crude and cheerfully sophomoric teen sex comedy.

    Freshman Orientation is not incompetently made. Nor is it badly acted. But there’s not a fresh idea in it, and everyone on screen seems to be in a different comedy.

    I thought it was really funny. Smart satire of teen movies.

    I liked it, but I didn't enjoy it.

    Completely predictable, unoriginal, uninspired yawn meant to premised on the myth that straight white guys are the only "real" men or redeemable souls in this universe.… Collapse
