Not your average college party...

OK this is something that I never expected which was to give this movie a 6 in rating. I was replacing my copy of Airheads but was only able to find a copy paired with this movie and to my dread needed to get it in order to get the movie I wanted and so I watched it...

PCU is about a nice young man going off to get a look at the college he wants to attend, little does he know that he'll have the whole school out for his head. At PCU all the students are protesting something and almost every one is against anyone or anything that they can think of at the moment. During this time our potential new student must look to try and help a failing frat house maintain it's stance on campus.

Well you know I typically look at this movie...and the fact that David Spade is in it, and say..."ugh, another Animal House ripoff" I was surprised to find the movie being fairly amusing. The protesters for nearly everything concept was very entertaining and a little bit on the original side though I'm not sure about how original it is. The dumping meat on the vegan protest cracked me up good. Jeremy Piven plays the usual man with the plan college student who manages to be on top of everything and pretty much at that point the acting is at it's highest level. It's not really any major piece of art but at the same time it is still entertaining.

If you have $5 to spend you can find the Airheads PCU combination and I can safely say that PCU is not a detriment to the package.
