Yes, this was truly an awful movie. But it's funny how so many people are criticizing it for ridiculous reasons.
"I hate it because the acting/directing/editing are horrible." Really? What the hell did you expect? Are there a lot of great performances in the late-night comedy genre? There is occasionally a fairly new character/actor who has a little something extra to offer, but the poor execution and archetypal characters are the norm for these movies - not the exception. When you chose to watch "Frat Party," you knew what to expect.
"The writing is ridiculous." Granted, some of these movies (generally those with a more 'robust' budget) spend a little extra for a moderately clever writer or two. But, again, horrible writing regarding dialogue is not particular to this lone movie. Again, you knew what you were getting.
I will concede, though, that the main problem IS in the writing, but for the reasons most people are listing. The simple fact of the matter is that - while I'm sure some involved with the movie think it could have fared well with broad release and some studio support - the ending is horrible! At this time, I should type this: SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! No studio would have EVER green-lighted this script for the lone reason that the couple gets back together at the end! He's a little late for his own wedding, this completely unlikeable skank immediately marries another dude who she HATES (the new couple is leaving the church as the groom-to-be arrives) and not only does our unlucky protagonist still love/want her, but he actually takes her back?! The married chick who married another guy at YOUR altar? Child, please.
