King Frat

I saw this movie in the middle eighties, and I never forgot...

I love the lame humor, the pointless gags and the "every day is a party" kind of lifestyle..

Scenes like when they place some dog droppings in the ventilation of a church,where there's a funeral going on....I love this scene.

Or when the "Gorilla" is stuck inside the girl and a ambulance arrives is hilarious...along with the scene in the "rubble" house, where the cook dumps spaghetti on the wall to see if its ready...is memorable...

The most funny part is the farting contest.....even the dog drinks some farting elixir...and explode like a rocket... :-) Its so lame its funny.....

I remember my older brother (We were 15 and 11 at the time)brought this home from the video store one day and I think we watched it 3 or 4 times on a loop. Our state of the art(1983) GE VCR sure got a workout that day. We liked it b/c the movie is just a bunch of dick and fart jokes strung together and presented as a feature film. Its funny if you are realistic about what you are watching, b/c this ain't no art film. Oh, and the theme song was terrible. It was played 30 or 40 times during the movie(mostly snippets played during action scenes). Sure it was a bad animal house rip-off but if you can get past that, and enjoy gross-out/college humor, then turn off your brain and enjoy.

Well, I'm going to have to be more careful when I buy these used VHS's in the future because the one I bought of this movie is really the pits! And no, I'm not basing that on the wretched print I just viewed but the fact that there wasn't much creativity in making this Animal House ripoff. I mean, sure, there were some scatological gags in that John Belushi movie but this one is full of them and none of them are remotely very funny! Though the one with the farts used to fuel some fires was a little amusing, ditto that woman getting stuck on a "gorilla's" erection, they weren't amusing enough to remotely save this movie though there was also a funeral scene that, come to think of it, was probably the most absurd thing in this picture though it really made no sense. Okay, I've written more than 10 lines so in summary, if you're curious about this badly-made, amateurish comedy, King Frat should satisfy it soon enough...

After the president of Yellowstream University dies (he dies via a heart attack after a mooning incident by the Phi Cappa Delta fraternity), the dean of the school pledges to get rid of the farting, drinking, mooning cretins. Oh who am I kidding? This lesser Animal House clone plot line is kept to a bare minimum used to (vaquely) tie random scenes together said scenes more often then not revolve around farting.

I really don't mind crude, vulgar, or tasteless humor. If done in a funny way I can usually get a chuckle or two out of it at the least. However this film is just sad. Instead of laughing, I found myself yawning. This film has been done both before and since and much better I may add.

Eye Candy: three pairs of tits

My Grade: D

DVD Extras: Nothng other then a 2 & a half minute slide-show (to make matters worse the DVD seems to be a videotape transfer)

Let me first say that I don't comment on movies that much. But this is so much of an exception. A long time ago a public access cable show talked about this movie and how bad it was. So when I got a chance to see it I did....

1) Just a TOTAL rip off of animal house... done BADLY. 2) Production values for some reason add to the GRIMY nature of this film which actually is a plus for the film ( you can just feel how disgusting it must have been to live in that place)

with that said.. when you watch it you just want to sit there with your mouth open and just go......WHAT??? And actually for some reason with the Cheezy sound track and CORNY gross out gags in a really bad B movie way make this film actually work! If you are like 13 years old you would love this movie. I think this movie is a great example of that movie. saying "A movie so bad its actually funny". Its just so STUPID you just want to cringe at how corny it is but thats what makes it so unique.

So really I guess I can say I liked it in a weird just put your head in your hands and just be amazed at how cheesy it is way.
