Audience Member Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend. Sam Huntington, Marla Sokoloff, and Kaitlin Doubleday are all extremely underrated actors and do excellent jobs. I'll give you that this premise is potentially problematic, but it does have a positive edge to it. What really holds the movie back (or forward for some) is how sociopathic the main character starts. There has to be a low to grow from, but yeesh. It is a coming of age and self discovery story for about 6-20 people, depending on how you count, and there is a lot of good work that goes into balancing and keeping so many character plot lines to quality. A couple of the characters literally stop to shake off how much is going on in the movie at certain points. In the end, this is full of absurdist comedy with a sweet core. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a rowdy comedy about college and sex but also has a deeper sense of sexuality and learning to appreciate women for more than as base sexual creatures Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst, most offensive movies I've ever seen! Not even funny offensive, or self-aware offensive. Just like someone with sub average intelligence, a mean spirit, and no awareness of social justice or even of the way the world works (outside of outmoded caricatures) . Don't waste your time. It's disgusting and I'm sad netflix made the dumb ass mistake of categorizing this as an lgbtq movie. It's nothing short of homophobic. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An engaging and fresh take on the much-used American college initiation theme, 'Freshman Orientation' succeeds with a delicate balance of hilarious lines, physical gags and gross-out humour. It doesn't quite reach the full potential of any of these sub-genres and is essentially a queer movie for a straight audience. Sam Huntington is a charming, goofy lead and there's a fun turn from a campy John Goodman, though all of the performers here are quite strong. In a tale with a social conscience, it's refreshing to see the screenplay steer clear from soppy sentiment and yet keep its heart in the right place. (Original title: 'Home of Phobia'.)

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Spends too much time trying to be self righteous Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
