Those of us at the certain Ivy League university at which the story told in PNC (or a similar story with similar characters involved) actually took place see much of the humor in this movie that the rest of the country is sure to miss.
It's crass, badly acted and excessive (much like the porn the PNC club enjoyed/enjoys to this day), but it's fun, and PNC does actually have its funny moments. Dean Dick Widehead (Kurt Fuller) is a perfect bad guy (even if the real man - actually named Dean Dick Brodhead - is everyone's favorite administrator) for a TV movie, and Geoffrey Arend has some wonderfully campy scenes/lines. he's also arguably the best actor in the bunch - finding some depth in an admittedly shallow genre.
I enjoyed PNC, and i laughed often. The jury's still out on whether that was due to the script/acting or the fact that the ex-girlfriend of one of the real people involved in PNC was sitting next to me telling me the real story as the movie progressed... 5/10

(and for the record, the real Polly was gay)
