Critics Consensus

A pale imitation of the raunchy frat comedies of old, College aims low and misses.

An unfunny, gross ripoff of better movies of its kind.

2008: Three high school guys (a nice guy, a nerd, and an overweight dude) go to a college over a weekend to experience the life. They run into a group of fraternity guys who delight in hazing the high schoolers in various acts of raunchiness and disgust. The high schoolers end up getting the revenge on the fraternity guys. This movie seems to have ripped off several other movies, including "Animal House" and "Revenge of the Nerds". In addition, the activity is beyond mean-spirited (even between the high school guys), and the raunchiness is over the top. Can't recommend it. Stars: Drake Bell, Kevin Covais, Andrew Caldwell, Nick Zano, and Gary Owen.

Possibly the worst comedy of the decade and one of the worst of all-time. It's boring, unfunny and just downright dreadful.

If college were really like this, everyone would drop out and found Microsoft.

Not only would I not see this movie, I wouldn't see any movie playing in the same multiplex.

College is painfully stale, pathetically unfunny, and I can't think of a single reason why you should sit through [it].

Baltimore City Paper

Deb Hagan takes an adolescent rite of passage and turns it into a primer on collegiate sadism, pushing the R rating to new raunchy lows in the process.
