It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

this is nothing compared to the real thing-This is a relatively entertaining documentary. But it is a very weak representation of hazing. It depicts fraternity chapters at a few different colleges on the East Coast. They are all relatively small schools/chapters. One pledge class has about 10 pledges. Although I have heard people refer to this doc as frightening or horrifying (etc etc), this doc only provides a tiny clue of what its like in large fraternal chapters which haze. Multiply the things you saw in this doc by about 100 and you will begin to touch the surface. Hazing is actually much more ritualized and intense. It is not as ridiculous as the events shown here. This is disorganized and small scale.

I finally saw a bootleg tape of this "long suppressed" documentary & have come to the conclusion that the reason it was never aired by HBO (as was intended) is that there is NOTHING in "Frat House" that hasn't been covered before & covered in greater depth. Back in the 1980s the TV show "60 Minutes" did a 20 minute piece on frats that blew "Frat House" right out of the water. "Frat House" comes across like an overlong edition of NBCs tabloid show "Dateline". There was nothing shocking or revealing about "Frat House". Sure all frat boys are morons, we all know that. Anyone who so desperatley needs to be part of a group that they will submit to extreme humiliation is an overgrown adolescent wuss. Thank God for frats though: In my job I have to review resumes & I immediatley throw out ANY that boast of fraternity affiliation. Who needs a spineless follower as an employee? Anyhow, "Frat House" is a routine, by the numbers TV show & nothing else.

I was fortunate enough to get a hold of a VHS copy of this amazing documentary for a short span of time last year. I think I watched it about 10 times over the course of the week because I kept screening it for friends. This documentary exposes the brutal lack of individuality that breeds on college campus' everywhere. Watch as countless whitebread freshmen beg, bite, and steal for acceptance. These fools will do anything to be a part of the in crowd. The star of the show, Blossom, deserves his own series. His scenes can only be described as, Larry, Moe and Curly all wrapped into one living on a creatine/steroid diet. This documentary is a must see, and Todd Phillips narrations are well done. Its too bad that the frat boys got there daddys lawyers involved, otherwise the work of these two filmmakers would play to the audience it deserves.

This film is more fun than I can deal with! Find this film and watch it! It's brilliantly crafted and highly entertaining. every character in this film should have their own TV show! Todd Philips is a genius! This film is like Hated with 25 G.G. Allins!
