Review of PCU

PCU (1994)
6/10
Good film, but it dies in the ending
11 September 2002
Most College movies can be described as lame or stupid. This is one of the few that stays out of these two categories. This film starts out stong, and for the 90's I give credit for handling real life taboos of drugs, drinking, student radicals, and eating meat. Crap goes on all the time, but when I was in University in the 90's the radical fringe made the place more like a jail than a learning establishment. Being resented for your background, or life style of wearing leather, eating read meat, and drinking beer. I never could understand why everyone else has to live their way, and why they have too name call and shout all the time. (Sometimes, I found some of the students turn the place into a kindergarten.) (EQ vs IQ) Anyway, this movie is a protest to the PC establishment, and is funny. When one pokes fun at another, and these PCers can not take a joke; you get the huge reaction that the prankster wants. The problem with the last quarter, unlike Animal House, the movie wimps out, instead of having one very big prank at the ending. 6/10
