Frat Star

My girlfriend put this on because she was looking for 'Greek' and Netflix didn't have that. We only watched about a half hour of this because we realized that the misogynistic and racist and classist and homophobic jokes were actually real. There was nothing redeeming about this movie at all. The acting was for crap, nothing makes sense as it might in reality on our very round earth and I cannot stress enough how racist and cringe-worthy this is. Most notable scene is when a few white frat guys chase the first black guy who appeared in the movie outside of their house explaining why it's okay for them to call him the N word. The only logical explanation I can come up with as to why this movie was made is that I guess young nazi proud boys need something to watch while the rest of the world is actually engaging in inclusive, progressive thought. If your hobbies include chanting "Jews will not replace us!" with a tiki torch in your hand, this movie's for you!

Moral of the story, dont become something you're not just to impress others

Looking at the trailer for this film I honestly kind of knew what to expect: gratuitous nudity, crude jokes and questionable acting. If I was to measure the success of the film based on my expectations, I would have to say it certainly delivered.

I easily watched the movie from beginning to end with interest and was disappointed with the ending which I won't discuss here. One of the stronger points of the film is the acting of Justin Mark, who plays Billy Hawkins. He has an on-screen charisma and delivery that helps to carry some otherwise very awkwardly staged scenes. At times I wonder if he might have been better cast as the Nick Cooper character.

The film follows a B movie formula in terms of its execution, and I think that's important to keep in mind when trying to appraise what we have here exactly. But even then, it does fall short. For example, it fails to adequately capture the energy and life of a college party at a frat house. In one scene, a bunch of girls are seated on the porch not really doing anything but maybe holding drinks. I can't help but wonder what a boring party that might be. As a student at Georgetown, walking down the street near campus, you can hear loud bumping music coming from any number of student houses.

Failing to capture the essence of what it is to be a party, is just one of many failures. And that does make a difference, it makes one question the entire purpose of the film. The debauchery of college is about excess, in particular bacchanalian style binges.

A good B movie goes too far, which is why it's a B movie. This movie doesn't go far enough and at the end it makes you wonder if you've gone anywhere at all. I think it's worth a watch, but approach it with an open mind.

First off before I start I will say this; I'm Chinese and this film was very racist, sexist, pigist, homophobicist & all the other " ists" out there that i missed lol but it was damn funny n done in funny ways & I loved the movie! This film was hilarious, though seems maybe low budget but overall It didnt bother me that much as the film progressed. Hot chicks, funny jokes & outrageous scenes like wow smoke a spliff n watch away lol .

Also for anyone saying this film is too racist.. well you know...all racist & sexist comments they made about every race, colour, genders they actually didnt discriminate in the way that they tried too insult every race & gender so no one felt left out lmao, being Inclusional was on their agenda foreal lol.

Lets be real here this is a comedy film & if you so easily butt hurt then why did you watch about Frat clubs ?? Did you all really think Frat Clubs are all peace & love & respect & not racist lol? Did you think all of the most powerful Frat organizations out there had upstanding & respectful members? Theirs a reason why the rich & powerful clique together in Frats cuz they dont want too associate with lower classes & they want too take advantage of each others future potential connections to enrich themselves n become powerful men In America. If u watched this film knowing its about Frats & Sex n u try to claim u had no idea it could be this offensive then you must have lived a sheltered life to be so innocent.

Anyway, though they made racist remarks about the chinese character & Im chinese too but I found it funny cuz sure its offensive in the real world but when your watching a movie u should let loose n open your minds, I mean that part about when Chang asked something about if the outcome will be judged as a curve?; then the Frat guy says No! It will be judged on a Slant!! Omg that had me laughing hard lol. Comedians make fun of their own race n ethnicity & ppl will laugh but then when its said by a white person in a comedy film its like oh no! Thats offensive! If it was some white guy who walked by n said something racist I would put him down of course no questions asked, but its a comedy film so..ya its totally different.

Lastly I will say everyone is racist in some way or degree whether u know it or not, its normal but people wanta act like they aint. Anyone to tell u they never been racist is a straight up lie, the only difference between everyone is which asshole acts full on racist & which are just alittle. From you not wanting your daughters to date black men, to see some country white guy n thinking hes a white hick, to you hating on someone cuz their mixed ethnicities & making jokes u thought were harmless by saying they cant speak their own language properly or they dont look either race cuz they mixed, or u thought white or asian ppl cant rap or you felt asian ppl cant be macho or be good basketball players, or you feeling this minority girl dates a white guy cuz shes after the money, or u just see a blonde white girl n u think shes a dumb blonde? Or u just thinking cuz hes asian that he has a small manhood, All of these might seem harmless or some may argue its not racist but the fact is that ur perceptions of them is because of their race & u believe them to be lesser in value cuz of their race & u believe that their race equates to them all being the same.

Okay, is Frat Star a plot-driven modern masterpiece of cinema? Not by most standards. However, the movie has far too many hilarious scenes and quotable lines to discard as a downright bad movie. The acting for every single supporting character was phenomenal without fail. Nick Cooper could've been a better protagonist with a better actor but all in all, the pervasive comedy of the movie was great. The film had its failings with attempts at drama but even then the drama had its comedic value at being so awkward. I would go so far as to say Frat Star is absolutely a must watch and many of the critic and user reviews of the movie take it too seriously. The movie doesn't necessarily push an intense underlying social commentary but it is a hilarious spoof on Greek life. The only aspect of the movie that leaves you utterly disappointed is the very ending but that doesn't take away from the sheer number of quotable one-liners and outrageous comedy scenes.
