Sorority Boys [M]

When three chauvinistic sorority jocks are framed for embezzling money from their fraternity, they are thrown out of their House; broke and futureless. Their only hope is a video tape that proves that they did not commit the crime. Unfortunately, the tape is locked in the KOK Sorority House and the boys are forced to don some makeup, bras, and pantyhose, to pledge to the DOG Sorority House, where they have the slimmest chance of proving their innocence. 

For a woman, there is something really nice and appealing about gender-bending films, in particular, films where men have to impersonate women. Although this movie can be a little crude and populated with somewhat tasteless humour, the central message of the film is overpowering: equality. I love it.

Ok, I’m just throwing this out there: these types of movies: gender-bending movies, appeal to everyone. Both men and women will find something to enjoy in movies such as Sorority Boys. 

What I, personally, love about this movie is the central message of equality and how it outlines the existing battle of sexism. In Sorority Boys, the message of equality is forcibly thrust upon us by employing that old adage of “beauty and the beast”, but, although the method is primitive and obvious (and done in reverse), the message does hit home. By having jocks and pretty boys playing the villains and having prepossessing women as the defiant heroines, the movie strongly impresses the point. It’s great. 

The casting was perfect! The three heroes/heroines were just gorgeous, each with his own journey of self-discovery to go on whilst in the DOG House. They were all brilliant. 

Starring Barry Watson, Michael Rosenbaum, Harland Williams, Melissa Sagemiller, Tony Denman, Brad Beyer, Kathryn Stockwood, and Heather Matarazzo, Sorority Boys was a nice, light, albeit crude, film that was filled with comedy, romance, nudity, sexism, equality, and self-discovery. It may be a tad trashy, but I really do love this film!
