The jokes are few. And the only real reason you'll laugh is that, by the time they appear on screen, you've been waiting so long for the opportunity, you'll laugh at anything.

As premises go, this one is unusually thin, boorish and insensitive. No amount of reworking with a No. 2 pencil will do any good.

Oddly, the troubled Cliff is more sympathetic than the two self-involved protagonists.

Surpise, surprise! This college comedy is better than you'd expect.

As a satire of new-style collegiate types, this MTV production actually evinces a few germs of rancid wit. If only the laborious high-concept plot had been deep-sixed -- and, along with it, the cynically blah heroes.

The material is mostly predictable, moronic and deadly dull.

An education in cheap, easy laughs.

It's all handled so poorly that it comes off as more ghoulish than anything else, although those who find the word "bong" instantly entertaining and are easily distracted by the presence of flickering images may be amused.

It's amiably played, but Alan Cohn's direction lacks bite.
