Good movie but grossly overrated

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I just saw this on Netflix, so I don't have the benefit of watching the DVD 'Extras' other reviewers mention as almost making the rental worthwhile. But, and I guess this qualifies as a spoiler alert, the ONLY reason I would recommend sitting through the piece of crap is to see Kelly Clarkson (yes, THE Kelly Clarkson) have a painful acting experience cameo at a fraternity party. Makes her performance in 'From Justin to Kelly' look Academy Award worthy. Oh, and why is a 35 year old man trying to be an 18 year old college freshman pledging a fraternity anyway? Pitiful, just pitiful. And since I'm new to doing an IMDb 'review', I didn't realize its supposed to be a minimum of 10 lines of text, so I wrote this last line just to squeak by that rule. The movie doesn't deserve 10 lines.

Okay, just like most of the other reviewers, I can find very little positive to say. Joe was too old to be a "frat boy". Christian was so obviously flaming gay I'm surprised he didn't spontaneous combust on screen. the set was obviously an empty house rented for the feature because no frat house is gonna have all those empty walls, and empty bookshelves. Some of the scenes, everyone was crowded very tightly. there was no chemistry between ANY of the players. the music and lyrics was laughable. The Pi Pi Rho house was just a wall with people standing in front of it. The Sig fraternity president was go gay there's no way anyone could NOT know that he was. the "hazing" incident, while kinda hot in a gay porn kind of way, was entirely unbelievable. The pace was plodding and slow and then suddenly rushed. The movie ending left the whole thing feeling incomplete. I read on here they ran out of money, that probably explains that.I gave it a two just because some of the actors are very easy on the eyes, and there's some nice ass shots, as well as one sorta hot sex scene and few full frontals (or maybe just one, i forget actually).I would not rent this. I certainly wouldn't buy it under any circumstances. I think whoever made this film had the best of intentions at heart. unfortunately, best intentions do NOT a good movie make.

This movie was amazingly bad. The characters were cardboard, the script was painfully poorly written, and to top it off, the story (and I use that word loosely) was boring. Also, I had the feeling I was watching home movie by someone who had a video camera handy and a few hours to spare. Having watched several of the recent gay themed movies, and in spite of the fact that many of them have also had limited budgets, several of the others were able to pull the viewer into a story with the element of drama, emotion and a connection to the characters. Most of the time spent watching Issues 101, I couldn't keep enough interest to see if the story was in fact going anywhere, nor did I really care what happened to any of these characters. So regardless of budget, this film could have been made so much better. Enough said.

Love the fraternity story - seemed real to me - and love the hot guys! The fraternity boys are realistically played, especially the actor playing Mike (very real and nicely played by Jeff S). Wish I could have seen it on the big screen. Hope to see more fraternity type movies. Was curious where it was shot. Liked the meeting scene - very real! Enjoying seeing the growth of the character Joe who comes out, not only to himself but also to the campus. Also just loved the frat brat music at the end - want to meet the composer. I had rented this movie, but am thinking that I would like to buy it - the pool table sex scene was very delightfully done - thanks guys!
