MWG: PCU
Posted On March 11, 2009
It is now Jim’s turn to pick our fabulous movie this month to watch and review. He has selected his fine, feature film of college campus shenanigans.
This satirical comedy — Hart Bochner‘s directorial debut, starring Jeremy Piven, Chris Young and Jon Favreau — follows the hijinks of a band of renegade college students out to unveil the idiocy behind blind political correctness at Port Chester University. The students live at the Pit, a dormitory for those who want a reprieve from the rabid PC environment. When their detractors decide to take them down, they fight to the hilarious end.

You’re all welcome!
I watched this movie this morning. There was a funny line I wanted to quote but it left my brain. This movie reminded me of college. I should have gone to more parties! I also remembered that I love George Clinton.
Now I’m going to go spend the rest of the day wondering just what was that line I wanted to remember….
I was annoyed by the annoying people at first, then there was some funny stuff. I didn’t understand a lot with the preppie guys and the college president.
Also I thought I wouldn’t like George Clinton but it was fun when he played.
I forgot how much Jeremy Piven was in this movie. I thought he was a minor character. I remembered it being the kid checking out the college and David Spade trying to stop the big party. I’m not sure why I blocked Piven out so much since I remembered most of his lines, including him telling Jon Favreau’s character to not “be that guy” about wearing the band’s concert t-shirt to the concert.
I’m not sure why they threw a girl in there for Piven’s character to like. It wasn’t needed and she really had no personality. It is a goofy movie, but nothing too outstanding. It is making fun of stereotypes so everyone in the movie is a stereotype. They don’t really move beyond it.
