      Bill: Well, according to the bylaws, you have to give elected officials three months to prove themselves before talk of ANY impeachment can occur.

      Jeff: Meanwhile, this damn fool is out blowing our money on the damn stock exchange.

      Bo: I know what I'm doin'.

      Tim: Bo...

      Bo: I really do!

      Tim: Bo, no offense. These don't sound like companies that are worth anything! Nobody's ever HEARD of them!

      Jeff: And where the fuck do these companies come from?

      Bo: They're companies... from... the Internet.

      Beefy Frat Brother: What the fuck is that?

    Laughably horrible
    I just can't think of anything good to say about this film, since I really don't know what it was trying to say or be. If it was supposedly soft-core porn (and there was a bit of nudity and simulated man-on-man sex) then why didn't they just add more sex scenes with good looking actors? The "frat boys" were ridiculously miscast, as they were aging, effeminate, hairy, balding jewish guys (notice; I didn't use the word "actor", since none of the participants here are actually actors). The "plot" of a closeted frat brother really didn't make much sense, since apparently man-on-man sex wasn't a big deal in this particular fraternity. Yes, I get it; that's a big fantasy for a lot of guys...but you might as well save yourself the time and effort and just rent a porno if that's what you are hoping for.

    FAQ1

    • Why is every actor in the 'straight' fraternity more gay than the 35 y/o actor playing the gay freshman pledge?
