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!

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.
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.

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.
The only good part about this entire movie is billy's roomate. The acting is better in middle school theater classes and the plot is overall garbage.
Not to mention that the Greek life in the movie is completely fictionalized by including extreme racism and a weird fetish for money which isn't humorous at any point of the movie. The main character's development is just not interesting and by the end of you movie i'm just glad it is over. The netflix fast forward button is definitely helpful when watching this cancer so make sure to use it if you ever decide to put this on for torture.
