Ratings and reviews

It's been a looooong time since I was in college, but it's good to see that it's still full of awkward quasi-romances, drunken parties with loose themes, and long nights spent telling people all the little intricacies of your life. This is a great small fiilm -- similar in style to all the Before Sunrise / Sunset films.

2.5 stars. This is not a comedy. This is more of a drama. Dramady at best. The description reads as a raunchy comedy about a guy who forces himself into the frat scene but it's a movie about a guy (virgin) who goes to a frat party (for like five minutes of the film) turns down sex with a girl, goes back to his dorm, bumps into a different girl and they spend the night talking. Then spends the rest of the movie talking about her and following her around. I'm not even sure why it's rated R.

Great watch. One of the best movies of 2020. Fully captures college experience and what it is to deal with finding who you are.
