Trivia:

'Michael Rosenbaum' wore a wig throughout the film, as his television role on "Smallville" (2001) required him to keep a bald head. Rosenbaum said that if he was going to wear a wig, he wanted it to be a bad one, thus the ugly hair Adam sports in this movie.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the girl with the nasal voice is in her room and the guys from KOK launch the dildo through her window, we hear glass breaking but her window is open.

Frederique: Good Lord, Daisy! You look like a man.

Funny Movie...If taken for face value!

I have read a few other reviews for SORORITY BOYS in which the reviewer states that the movie is horribly written, cheesy acting, lame gags, etc... My only response to those comments is, "What were you expecting?" A moving piece of great proportions, likely to be nominated for 10 Oscars???

This movie is nothing more than an attempt to make some money off of those who are fans of "teen sex romps." Those who walked into this movie expecting a sophisticated film, you missed the point!!! This movie is about cross-dressing guys, it's supposed to be cheesy and lame; and that is what makes it so funny.

If taken at face value and appreciate it for what it is worth, SORORITY BOYS is a laugh riot. It is a usual sec comedy, but it is funny and clever at some times. While it is definitely not the milestone movie for the 2002 year, it is funny and worth the time (if you like these types of movies).

Lesson Learned: Do not go see "teen" movies expecting to be moved, these movies are made for one reason and that is to make money off an audience. For some good laughs, SORORITY BOYS rates a 6/10.
