Frat Party (2009)
1/10
Terrible

Warning: Spoilers
I'll try to make this as objective as possible, even though I wasted the last hour or so watching this movie. First off, to compare it to American Pie or Road Trip is ludicrous. The budget, camera work and acting in those movies are so far in advance of this it's not even in the same category (and those movies weren't Citizen Kane, you know?)

The plot is about some dude who's scored with tons of chicks who is now settling down with 'the one' and getting married after graduation. Trouble is, the last frat party of his college career is the night before the wedding so he has to miss the family dinner which is the same night as well (in real life, this is a no brainer, you go to the dinner). He talks his girlfriend (who has painfully thin legs) into letting him go to the party.

If you think you're going to see awesome party scenes with craziness all over, you've come to the wrong place. I've been to frat parties in the middle of the year that are more kickin than the one they have. Seriously. There are 30 people there. That's the problem with this whole movie. It's so low budget it's painful. The wedding where she has 270+ people attending has around 10 leaving the church. You're telling me the director and actors couldn't find friends to fill it? Homeless people? Anyone?

And the movie is around 60 minutes, the other time is spent with montages of Napa valley wine images or driving scenes that may or may not have the main character's car in it (no kidding). The characters behave in ways that no person in real life does, and the wedding business is the icing on the cake. Your boyfriend didn't show up in time, so here, marry this other dude who your dad (they couldn't find a real Italian dude?) invited, even though you don't really like him. And he's been banging your sister.

The writer of this movie needs his writing license revoked for the good of humanity. I didn't laugh, or even chuckle once during this mess. I didn't even think 'that was sort of funny'. If you're not stoned out of your gourd, for the love of all that's holy stay away from this movie.
