Simon Rex at his best

And that is saying an awful lot. Simon Rex was one of the best VJs in Mtv history, right up there with Jessie Camp and Alan Hunter. I don't think anyone was ready for the impact he would have on hollywood. His is a true entertainer that can go from hosting a show like total request live to giving an oscar level performance in a taxing role as a mean fraternity guy. I was in a fraternity in college and this movie is exactly what it was like. There is nothing stereotypical about this film at all. I'm sure all of us frat guys had to pleasure ourselves on a cookie and sing naked in the library. It's just part of being in a super cool fraternity. When I was a pledge, we did things like go to mcdonalds and order a whopper. McDonalds doesn't serve whoppers!

Back to Simon Rex, he makes you hate his character to the point that you are yelling things at the TV and crying at how mean he is to the pledges. This is a movie you need to buy because you are seeing something similiar to Cruise in Risky Business or Macchio in the Outsiders. This is hollywood's next great actor in the role that will launch him to superstardom. As cool as Simon Rex is, he really doesn't even get within the galaxy that is my coolness. If Rex doesn't get within the galaxy, you people aren't even worth a mention. September 14, 2005

It is actually funny...

This is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. It is definitely one of those movies you can watch not just once. It is basically about some college guys rushing a fraternity and all of the events that happen while doing so. The main character's cousin really wants to get accepted into the fraternity and so the cousin ends up rushing with him. If you can appreciate movies like American Pie, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle and things of that category, you should see this movie. I wouldn't recommend if you don't like movies of the sort...it would be a waste of time for you. Yeah there are no high profile actors...except maybe Simon Rex but that shouldn't matter. All of the characters had a lot to offer and they all made the film as hilarious as this one. I would imagine this film would be a good choice of viewing for college students. I got it new for six dollars after watching it two times (first time coincidentally in a frat house). June 27, 2005

My favorite Actors

My favorite actors in the movie were Harvey Silver & Simon Rex.
They should have more Brotha's in such movies. Harvey Silver who played T.J. reminded me of a Will Smith. Ironically their both from Philadelphia. I used to watch Harvey (T.J.)in that sit-com called One World! GREAT ACTOR! Usually Plays likable characters! I,ve been watching Harvey Silver's career ever since the tv movie for FOX called "The Price of Love", he starred in with actor Peter Facinelli. We'll definately see more of this actor on the BIG SCREEN!

Simon Rex is the most funniest actor in his time and age group. His comedic timing is funny! Usually playing the witty pretty boy type, Simon Rex is still yet to break into the dramatic side of himself. I first seen Simon Rex on MTV. I'd actually like to see Simon Rex in more shows hosting as a VJ like the stint he had on MTV! May 21, 2005
