Customer Reviews of PCU
This, My Friends, Is A Very Good Movie Goodness me, just got the movie today, enjoyed it thouroughly. It's sort of unknown though, to a lot of people. I found out aboutit because it was on daytime HBO. Anywho, this is a great college film that seperates itself from the rest in its genre (except a few such as Animal House or Road Trip). It has a descent cast, including Jeremy Piven and David Spade. It is quite funny and has many memorable parts, while keeping in mind the important topic of political correctness. I'm not saying the movie is politically correct, it's far from it, but it makes you think twice about it. Funny parts involve meat, stoners playing frisbee, certain Freshman year memories and many more. I personally enjoyed this movie, as should most people.
Poor man's Animal House...
This movie is a classic. While not a triumph of american filmmaking, screenwriting, or directing, it certainly rings true with many modern-day college students. It's low-budget and the ending is a little cheesy, but all in all, this movie is a true cult classic.
Jeremy Piven leads a cast of semi-normal college students in a sea of caricatures in this movie. He does all the stuff we wish we could do against all the people we wish we could do it to--the overly sensitive, "cravenly PC" crowd. Normally, his cookie-cutter adversaries would make for boring subject matter, but after spending my time at college, I've seen that there really are people out there that are this bizarre. Piven really carries this movie, and Jon Favreau is also pretty good as Gutter. The potheads are hilarious, as are the Womynists. David Spade's character and his organization are also pretty good. The one thing that you'll begin to notice if you've been on a college campus lately, is that you'll see a character in this movie, and realize that you know someone like that or have seen something similar.
Who wouldn't want George Clinton to play their party?
Animal House For the 90's
PCU is a 90's version of Animal House. Set at the fictional Port Chester University in Connecticut, the film centers around a fun loving fraternity who faces eviction from their frat house unless they come up with $7,500. for damages. Much like Animal House, a smarmy, white-bred priss teams with the dean to help aid in their ousting. The campus is overrun with political correctness from Womanysts, Afrocentrics, gay groups, stoners and others. The plotlines are predictable, but the cast lead by the extremely underrated Jeremy Piven, rise above the clichés to create an extremely enjoyable film. Mr. Piven stars as Droz, the leader of the group and he plans a blow out party at the house's main room, The Pit. His cohorts include Alex Desert as Muls, his smooth talking best friend, a young Jon Favreau (with a bizarre dreadlock hairdo) as the stoner Gutter, Megan Ward as the freshman Katy and Chris Young as a pre-freshman up for weekend to see if he wants to attend the school and who ends up ticking off almost the entire campus. They are pitted against the Dean Garcia-Thompson played with icy bluster by Jessica Walter and Rand McPherson played with unctuous smarm by David Spade. Through a series of mishaps, it looks like the party is going to be a bust. Then through a minor set of miracles, George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic show up and play the party and they gather enough cash to pay the damages. It is still not enough to save them. In another Animal House parallel, the frat disrupts the school's Bicentennial celebration and ends up saving the house by getting the dean fired. PCU has TV movie like running time of barely one hour and twenty minutes, but its brevity helps keep the frantic pace up and it doesn't get bogged down in extraneous plotlines.
