"Sorority Boys" movie
 

When I was at the theater tonight to see "Ocean's Eleven" (fabulous, BTW), I saw a poster for a movie called "Sorority Boys". The poster featured three college-age men dressed up as women. When I got home, I decided to do a little digging about the film and found this synopsis:

After three rowdy guys get booted from their frat house, they dress up as women and pledge the "ugly girl" sorority, where they figure they'll blend right in. In their new environment, the men relinquish their frat mentality and realize how hurtful they have been to women over the years. When their less-than-stunning female forms earn them an invite to a "dog catcher" party at their old frat, they decide to brave the harassment so they can grab the rest of their belongings from the house and make a clean break.

I also found out the original title of this movie was "Dog Catcher". :mad: Has anyone else heard anything about this film?

Here's another article on "Sorority Boys"
 

Boys Will Be Girls

It isn’t easy being a homely girl—especially when you’re a guy. Just ask the three rather masculine young men on the football field who are getting crushed by pink-clad coeds while also putting Tammy Faye to shame in the makeup department. It’s just another day on the set of Sorority Boys.

Before learning the distinction between eyeliner and lipliner, the main characters, played by Barry Watson (Teaching Mrs. Tingle), Michael Rosenbaum (Urban Legend), and Harland Williams (The Whole Nine Yards), were three misogynistic college students. Falsely accused of embezzling funds from their fraternity—and tossed out of the house—they try to exonerate themselves by gathering evidence from within the frat. Since only girls are invited inside, they RuPaul it and rush the Delta Omicron Gamma sorority, or “DOG house.” Soon they learn what it’s like to be ridiculed, harassed, and even victimized by their own previous “scamming” credo: Guys should go after the ugliest girls if they want to get laid.

With its dildo fights and distinctly non-PC jabs at homosexuality, Sorority Boys is about as un-Disney a movie as the mouse house is likely to make. But it was the film’s moral center that appealed to director Wallace Wolodarsky (Coldblooded). “It’s a story about men learning to be better men by being women,” he says. Wolodarsky, a former supervising producer on The Simpsons, corralled his old writing colleagues for two six-hour “joke punch-up” sessions. (He estimates that about 70 percent of those jokes ended up on-camera.)

If all this mischief-making and cross-dressing makes you think of National Lampoon’s Animal House or Bosom Buddies, you’re not alone. The filmmakers are actually playing up the resemblance, casting actors from both the classic movie and the TV series in bit parts.

The lead actors enjoyed getting in touch with their femininity. “I hope Daisy’s pretty,” says Watson, on break from getting clobbered in football, of his character’s female persona. He admits he “felt naked” at a recent awards show “without the lipstick and eye stuff done.”

Still, cross-dressing takes some getting used to. “I’ll be talking to a cute girl and wondering why she’s not taking me seriously before I remember I’m in drag,” confesses Rosenbaum, who likens his look to “Ethel Merman meets Uma Thurman meets Tori Spelling, with a little J.Lo going on in the booty.” As for Williams, he’s getting used to his Kathy Griffin–esque appearance—and the male attention it can attract. “I haven’t seen George Clooney lingering around the set, giving me the eye,” he sighs, flipping his reddish ponytail. “But I did see a janitor behind a tool shed kind of waving his rake at me.”

Sounds like a great one to miss.

Yeah, I think I can safely say I won't lose any sleep over missing that one.

I'm a sucker for crappy movies...when does this one open?

Sometime in March, 2002 was the last I heard.

it's scary to think that there was once a room full of writers, directors, and producers who thought this would be a good idea for a movie. I for one will skip this disaster.

"GoingGreek"
 

Speaking of Greek- related movies, There is another being filmed right now, called "Going Greek-" about a semester of pledging and hazing a Frat. Looks alright, actually...:) Click here: Going-Greek Official Website

Is the guy in white wearing Chi Omega letters or is one letter covered up? (i.e. Something-Chi-Omega)?

Iota Chi Omega
 

Cutie, I think it's Iota Chi Omega. There is definately another letter there, and if you look at the guy in the black tank top, his letters are Iota Chi Omega.

You know that there's no way Chi Omega (or any sorority or fraternity) would let a film like that use their letters! :rolleyes:

In fact, I was once talking to a staff member of Tri-Delta, and she was saying that they get approached all of the time for people to use their letters and/or greek houses (esp. some in CA I guess) in films. And it's never any situation you would want your GLO represented in, so of course they say no. But it makes you wonder why those people would think you would want that kind of exposure in the first place :confused: .

Well, I dont know about yall, but I can hardly wait for these movies to get to sat. dish! Should been soon after opening, then I can turn it over!:D

What about the tri-delt skit on Saturday Night Live years ago. Wouldn't they need approval from tri-delt to use their name/letters?
