Frat House

This movie suffered serious criticism for paying the fraternities and fraternity brothers to act out pieces of the movie. The main school involved does not even pledge in the Spring, as this movie made viewers believe. A good movie to see as long as you realize it is developed to perpetuate the stereotypes the film makers have about fraternities. I did enjoy seeing the movie, it was well produced, and had a good "documentary" feel. HBO will not allow this movie to be presented on TV, and for good reason, it just is not true. There are several instances in the movie where brothers in the fraternity actually act as though they are pledges and act out scenes which supposedly happen in a fraternity.

Brilliant movie, if anyone ever gets the chance to see this you're lucky! The thing is that it isn't a documentary, it's all scripted, I was fooled the whole time. That's why HBO won't show it, it's because they were tricked and so was sundance!

The creators of this project are surely some of the smarter film makers out there, even though his newer movies don't compare to the intensity this one does. Frat House is a must see.

No way is the 1st half of this doc staged like many suggested. I got brought here after watching the Joker this morning and went on the hunt for the directors earlier work. Id seen the GG Allin one before and thought it was good. They are definately a violent and depraved bunch of people lol, hopefully USA universities have put a stop to these practices which show extreme bullying of what we call in the UK freshmen. The Joker turns the Batman franchise on its head. After The Dark Night being a clearly Pro Republican party movie, The Joker clearly had more left wing sympathies, its clear to all to see what brought Todd here from this doc. His Iconoclastic tendecies are much needed in modern cinema. Its certainly an enlightening experience to see how the priviledged behave in the University settings and the lack of governance from the University. If I was sent to University there, I would be quick to transfer.

Listen people...I am the real star of this movie. If you want the truth...contact me at joelaudadio@optonline.net. Most of your comments are ridiculous, idiotic, and useless... It seems as if most of you are clueless about this movie, clueless about the efforts it took to make this movie, the reality of the film itself, the dangers of hazing, the sickness about myself and my true to life insanity... so get a grip...and understand this... BLOSSOM IS VERY REAL.... BLOSSOM IS BACK.... BLOSSOM IS ALIVE AND WELL... BEWARE As for the directors of this film...it was an absolute pleasure meeting Todd and Andrew. They are very talented young men, who will make it very big in their lifetime. I owe them quite a bit...for helping me realize the type of person I am, the type of person I want to be...and the type of person I can pretend to be...

Despite allegations of staging, this was one of the most entertaining documentaries I have had the pleasure of seeing. Even if some of the scenes were staged, you still get to witness the unbelievable torture that these young men had to endure. The film is a very guilty pleasure, and will make you cry with laughter. Forget all the controversy and enjoy this riotous film.
