One of worst movies I've ever watched. Just poor everything with this exception. The ending. From the last scene with the girl, his alter ego talking to dad, and his alter ego walking away from him an saying "I've got work to do". If ever there was a movie that needed a sequel it's this one. Does he somehow get the girl, how does dad take the frat news, and lastly what work does the alter ego need to do?
I could sit through a sequel just to get these questions answered. Not for everyone I'm sure but I really hate movies that leave this much open to your imagination...
Elitist, Racist, HORRIBLE story writing, AWFUL cinematography, in fact the ONLY thing this movie has going for it which keeps it out of the 1 star zone is a shockingly good CAST, who deserve BETTER than the DRIVEL they were presented! It makes me wonder if their agents even read the scripts at all before they signed their clients to it, or was blackmail involved?
And as for any kind of storyline continuity or resolution for that matter, DON'T BOTHER watching it! The movie LITERALLY dumps you right at the climax and teaches both the main character and the audience NO LESSON! There's no outcome! As a bit of a videophile, I've NEVER seen ANYTHING like this! It leaves you where the movie started! HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!

This movie is a harsh satire of fraternity life, but while also being hilarious at moments. Anything with Billy and Adam is hysterical. Such an entertaining watch. My go-to on Prime.
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!
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.
