Nervous high school senior Tom Lawrence visits Port Chester University, where he gets a taste of politically correct college life when he's guided by fraternity wild man Droz and his housemates at The Pit. But Droz and his pals have rivals in nasty preppy Rand McPherson and the school's steely president. With their house threatened with expulsion, Droz and company decide to throw a raging party where the various factions will collide.

This movie has so many lines in it that I still love to quote after all these years. Most of them make people who haven't seen it turn their heads. Quotes like "We're NOT gonna protest!" or "Can you blow me where the pampers is?" (Followed by "Can you show me where the campus is?") or "Gutter is a Tool!" are really funny when well used around the right people. I laughed throughout this movie. The scenes with Gutter are hilarious!; from the problems getting beer to accidentally bringing back George Clinton to the frat house, to the attempt to people surf during the party at the end. Droz has his moments as well. I think the "We're not gonna protest" speech at the end of the movie was the highpoint of the movie. I think this movie deserves a much better overall rating.

This may be one of the best comedies ever made.My dad attended college in the late 1960s, a few years after the film "Animal House" was supposedly set. But he always maintained that his fraternity, Psi Phi, was just like the Delta House in the film. I had my doubts......until I saw PCU, and then a year or so later, I started my own college career.This movie captures the essence of college in the mid-90s. It is truthful about the left-wing, PC bullsh*t that is so pervasive on campus. It is real.I don't know how much value this film offers for new college students. But if you attended college in the 90s, this is the film for you. This is the film when you want to reminisce, when you're feeling nostalgic.Want some advice? PCU is a keeper.

Hit Me!!!Jeremy Piven really is impressive in this role, which frankly gained my attention. This really makes the film..... HE IS THE FILM, well almost.Is It For U?Hate over glossy hollywood productions? prefer smaller budgets and original acting?So....This is PCU, a college film unlike Road Trip or American Pie 1,2,3,126,5002, whatever... Some gloss, great acting(my god it really does make the film!), good setting, good script, no great script!!!However...Two points though... the plot is not the most complicated ever.... the characters are sometimes stereotypical and predictable... but thats college movies... how else can it be done..Trust me.... this made my year!

Good talent assembled here. Spade is at the top of his game. Piven is very natural and Favreau is strong as usual. However, the film as a whole tends to disappoint. It just tries too hard to be the "Animal House" for a new generation. The problem is there is no real story, at least not one that you care about. Coupled with this is way too many weaker actors getting way too much camera time. Spade disappears for way too long, when he is obviously carrying the film. Moreover, there is also a lack of affection for the characters here. Oh yeah, it was meant to be a stinging indictment on "political correctness" run amok. The problem is that the main characters, the supposed good guys, are a bunch of jerks that are simply trying to be cool. They are not cool! You will laugh at some scenes, laugh hard. However, then you will see five minutes of garbage that is just lame. Could have been a lasting movie, well, no, probably not.
