The only way to become one of the boys again…is to become one of the girls.
The high-heeled high jinks begin when three falsely accused "frat brats" find themselves booted from their brotherhood into the neighborhood. Short on cash and desperate, they use pancake, pantyhose and "pluck" to pledge the ugly-girl sorority. Life's a drag as they try to find their way back to fraternity life, and dressing the part puts them in hilarious hot water time and again. What's a boy, pretending to be a girl, to do after treating women so badly? Once in touch with their feminine side, our "girls" realize the error of their ways and make up for their mistakes.

Take off your thinking caps, kids! Given the crude promise of its low-concept title, you'd be forgiven for wanting Sorority Boys to be a passable hybrid of Animal House and Some Like It Hot. Reduce those expectations and you'll find this college comedy to be at least mildly amusing, beginning when three frat-rats (Barry Watson, Harland Williams, Michael Rosenbaum) are forced by circumstance to pledge--in drag, of course--at a nearby sorority. They can't begin to pass as females, but the movie's loaded with idiots who don't seem to notice. Even more problematic is the movie's attempt to teach a lesson about sexual politics; better, in this case, to stick with gags about dueling dildos and erections in coed showers, and relish cameos by Animal House alumni and the good-natured charm of Heather Matarazzo (Welcome to the Dollhouse) in another nerdy role. With your brain on hold, a few belly laughs are an unexpected bonus. --Jeff Shannon

The only way for Dave (BARRY WATSON), Adam (MICHAEL ROSENBAUM), and Doofer (HARLAND WILLIAMS) to become one of the boys again... is to become one of the girls. Our heroes are three playboy chauvinists who, strapped for cash, find themselves drawn to one last, desperate hope for free housing: one of their campus sororities, Delta Omicron Gamma (or D.O.G.). With a little makeup, a little pantyhose, and lots of "pluck," Dave, Adam and Doofer go undercover in the sorority house as Daisy, Adina, and Roberta. Everything goes according to plan... until Dave falls for Leah (MELISSA SAGEMILLER), the alpha D.O.G. Life's a drag as the boys see firsthand how the other half lives - their history of treating women badly comes back to haunt them when they walk a mile in another's (high heeled) shoes. Meanwhile, Dave wants to tell Leah about who he really is, but without destroying "Daisy's" relationship with the girl of his dreams. What's a boy (pretending to be a girl) to do?

Following in the irreverent footsteps of the Farrelly Brothers and National Lampoon is this farcical send-up of college life. Dave, Doofer, and Adam always lead the party in their fraternity's frequent and wild blowouts. But when their jealous frat president frames them for theft, the three are banished. Their only hope of getting back in is to prove they didn't steal the fraternity's treasury fund by getting hold of the videotape that will prove who did. But how can three excommunicated frat boys get back into their house? Dressed as girls, of course, at one of the house's many parties. The three wind up as new pledges in the D.O.G. sorority, where the unpopular girls go after all the other sororities reject them. But the hoax gets turned on its ear when Dave starts falling for one of his sorority sisters, who returns his affection--as long as he's a woman--while Adam evades the amorous advances of his former little brother and Doofer gets in touch with his feminine side. REVENGE OF THE NERDS meets SOME LIKE IT HOT in this slapstick, gross-out, romantic coming-of-age sex story.
