Summary:
A high school senior visits college for the weekend, and stays at the wildest house on campus in this classic tale of anti-political-correctness.
A hare-paced, harebrained and, for the most part, amusing update of "Animal House." [29 Apr 1994, p.03]
PCU is less a blatant ripoff of Animal House than a fond homage. This '90s update on campus life never reaches that landmark comedy's inspired heights (or depths, as it were) of anarchy. It also could use a waggle or two of John Belushi's bushily subversive eyebrows....But actor Hart Bochner's directing debut - aided by zippy camerawork - still offers a laugh-propelled good time while tweaking political correctness gone amok at Port Chester University (PCU). [29 Apr 1994, p.5D]
It's not much more than a collection of clever sight gags and one-liners that leaves the door wide open for another, better film about political correctness on the quad. [29 Apr 1994, p.D2]
A lobotomized campus comedy. [3 May 1994, p.E6]
