A great comedy with alot on snazz and fun. If you are a brother of a fraternity, or have at least gone through pledgeship, you will definately enjoy the humor in this movie. With plenty of beer drinking, experiences through "hell week", and plenty of girls this movie will entertain you til' the very end!!!
The makers of this movie should have known they were in trouble when they hired Chris Owens to be the tough guy, rather than the geek. Did they honestly think that viewers would think of him as anything other than a complete idiot? And I am not just basing it on the Sherminatior. I am basing it on the fact that he clearly is a complete geek. In reality, he would NEVER get in a fraternity (which REALLY makes a person sad.) let alone be one of the big men in it.
The rest of the movie was equally as poorly made. Predictable, unfunny, and just plain painful to watch. This movie is not worth even 5 minutes of the viewer's time.

Brutal. I will probably never get those 90 minutes back. How could a movie with Claire Forlani and Susan Ward be so hard to watch. Poor Oliver...I hope his sister is still ragging on him for that poor career decision. This movie is on my top 3 for "worst movies ever." Thanks. So if you don't mind, I'm going to go have 2 beers and write a movie. Probably funnier than this one.
A modern day version of Animal House with all the funny antics of the Greek Fraternity and Sorority life on a college campus. Lots of laughs. The story goes well and is fun to watch. The film is well put together for a first time director Justin Zackham. The cast of characters work well together.
Let's get this straight up front: "Going Greek" does not deviate from the college-sex-party genre first established by "Animal House." Nor does it rise about fare like "Old School" or "American Pie." However, without the benefit of marquee names, "Going Greek" unearths a gem that is seldom found in most of the dredge released these days by National Lampoon: comedy. "Going Greek" is genuinely funny, with a fantastic no-name cast and terrific story to boot. If anything, the film is more akin to "PCU," another cult college film made way before Jeremy Piven joined an "Entourage" and John Favreau launched "Zathura."
And who knows? Maybe wider audiences will someday know the names Dylan Bruno and Dublin James.
Check it out.

But the last girl Wendy (Susan Ward) only agreed to do it with him after he was already pledged. The fraternity was supposed to de-pledge him when he arrived for hell week.
