Sorority Boys

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum

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

San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer

This comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative.

Film Threat Eric Campos

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

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.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

Unoriginal but effective raunchy drag comedy.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

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

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.

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."

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.

Boston Globe Loren King

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

LA Weekly Paul Malcolm

If only they had the courage of their crassness.

Washington Post Dave Nuttycombe

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

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.

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.

Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten

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

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.

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.

New Times (L.A.) David Ehrenstein

Not only unfunny, but downright repellent.

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.

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.
