"Sorority Boys" DVD

Touchstone Pictures

The Bottom Line

Fans of "7th Heaven's" Barry Watson may enjoy watching this movie just to see Mr. Watson dressed as a good-looking woman. Otherwise, "Sorority Boys" never really lives up to its funny premise.

Guide Review - "Sorority Boys" DVD review

Barry Watson, Michael Rosenbaum and Harlan Williams play three frat boys who are in charge of planning the annual blow-out party for their current and former frat brothers. When the money to put on the party turns up missing, Watson, Rosenbaum and Williams come up with a plan to clear their good names: don dresses, join a sorority, and worm their way back inside the frat to uncover evidence that'll prove their innocence. The three soon get in touch with their feminine sides and learn a lesson in how to treat women.

"Sorority Boys" is one of those coulda-woulda-shoulda movies. If only the filmmakers had decided whether they wanted to make a movie with a message or an all-out gross-out comedy BEFORE they started shooting.
