Interesting that this movie has received some bad reviews. I think it's being treated too harshly as it's overall a nice tale, with decent acting, cinematography, and a well interwoven soundtrack.
In general, the plot was amusing enough and any ills it may have contained were overcome by a great soundtrack. While, Lou Taylor Pucci can be almost a little too cute sometimes and his character's naivety is a little overplayed, the overall the story moves along, is captivating enough, and the characters both entertaining and compelling enough that you want to see the movie resolve in its predictable but happy ending. It's a nice movie and left me with happy feelings.

This is utter crap. There is no two ways about it. The comedy is not funny the acting is horrible and the girls don't get naked enough to make up for the horrible everything else.
PLOT: a geeky thin college kid on scholarship needs to sell 50 pills in one day or he's totally in big trouble. A variety of totally unbelievable and unfunny scenes follow this is an incredibly boring and tired movie that uses a lot of recycled see it coming a mile away jokes.
LAME.
The dominatrix was a nice touch but not anywhere near enough to save this complete train wreck.
Don't bother.
As I said- see a movie that IS funny and WORTH WATCHING with basically the same plot- see "GO" from 1999

I've seen Fifty Pills twice, and it is the type of comedy you need to see more than once because you will be laughing too hard the first time to catch all the humor. The script is very tight with no noticeable loopholes.
Acting and direction were both excellent. Film is rated "R" due to language and content, yet curiously has no nudity. I thought it was a refreshing change to see a rated "R" comedy without nudity. If you want to watch porn, go watch porn. If you want to laugh your ass off, watch Fifty Pills! For those who might be concerned about the content, the underlying moral story is actually very interesting...be sure to pay special attention at the end.

Having seen "Fifty Pills" last night and subsequently discovered it's score of 3/10 on IMDb, I feel the need to redress the situation.
OK, so it's not the greatest of films ever made in the already massively over subscribed college-comedy genre but it is by no means the worst. "Fifty Pills" is relatively well scripted, and, with one or two exceptions the actors play their parts well; making a good job of portraying believable characters.
Some of the jokes are obvious and predictable, but there was more than one moment when the humour leapt at us with the unexpected voracity of a demonically possessed ferret.
Most importantly, the film flowed well and there were no moments when my concentration wandered towards the events outside of Theo Avgerinos' creation. At just over 75 minutes, the movie was exactly the right length.
The aspects of "Fifty Pills" that let it down for me were the poor dialogue in scenes involving Darren's parents, and the over use of one or two running jokes.
I give this film 6 out of 10.

Darren attends NYU and is matched with a roommate who is a creep and a slimeball. Before he knows it, he is on probation and on the administration's radar.
Everything seems to go wrong for Darren Giles, except he meets an attractive girl named Gracie (Kristen Bell).
Because he desperately needs money, he spends a day selling ecstasy to the customers of his roommate. These quirky customers include a dominatrix, and a day trader who is passionate about the TV show "Different Strokes."
I'm afraid I can't score this film very highly for these reasons:
1. The romance is a secondary theme that is not well-developed.
2. The primary story--the sale of the pills--is disjointed.
3. The characters are weak. Some of their behavior is inappropriate to the character. I wish Monica Keene, who played Petunia, could have been used more. Kristen Bell's talents were wasted.
4. Some jokes have obvious punchlines.
5. The background music often does not fit the action.
6. In the early part of the film, Darren talks to the audience, narrating the action, similar to Ferris Bueller. This is not carried throughout the film; the style of the film is inconsistent.
Strangely enough, the ending has some congruity. If only the entire film possessed that same quality.
