    This comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative.

    There are moments of real funniness in this smarter-than-anticipated goof-fest.

    If you're hard up for raunchy college humor, this is your ticket right here.

    Unoriginal but effective raunchy drag comedy.

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

    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.

    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.

    The situations and jokes are as predictable and as lowbrow as the endless pratfalls the boys take in their high heels.
  9. Boston Globe

    Crude, lewd comedy that makes ''Animal House'' seem wholesome.

    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."

    If only they had the courage of their crassness.

    To that long list of third- and fourth-rate comedies we can now add Sorority Boys.

    Recycles the most obvious jokes from similar comedies that preceded it, such as "Tootsie," but with the most rudimentary characters.

    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.

    The logic of it all will be Greek to anyone not predisposed to the movie's rude and crude humor.

    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.

    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.

    Not only unfunny, but downright repellent.

    A shockingly inane college comedy that accomplishes the nearly impossible feat of being far worse than it looks.
  20. The New York Times
    Reviewed by: Dana Stevens

    A film that even a rabid lowbrow like Homer Simpson (or, when the mood strikes, this critic) would find beneath his dignity.
