Three guys start a fraternity house in order to avoid “growing up.” Can’t we all relate to not wanting to grow up? These guys throw the sickest parties and everyone on campus loves them; everyone that is except the dean (“Cheeeeeese”), who in college was mercilessly picked on by these guys. “Streaking, we’re going streaking, through the quad into the gymnasium.” I think this was probably one of the most memorable moments of this movie. Brings back memories of my freshman year watching several of my friends streak across campus at 3 in the morning.

 

 

 

Here’s another movie about a guy not wanting to grow up. Do we see a trend? Van didn’t even get to the point to go back to college, since he never left. Just a few credits shy of graduation, he stayed in college for over seven years, just enjoying life, partying, girls, and living on Dad’s dime. He also hosted great parties! My favorite quote from this movie is, “Don’t take life too seriously - you’ll never get out alive.”

 

While both of these movies are humorous, outrageous, and for the most part insanely immature, we can all for some reason or another relate to them. Whether you are or were the captain of the football team, president of the chess club, sorority leader, art major, or engineer, there’s someone in these movies who at least a bit reminds us of either who we are, or who we aspire to be. Some of us may relate to the party animal main characters and some of us relate to the dorky kids who are “helped” to come out of their shells by the partiers, but whoever it is, the movies are incredibly amusing!
