What shows promise to be a good movie quickly degrades into ridiculous stereotypes that the director claims to be fighting against. Higher Learning takes place at the fictional Columbus University and follows a group of students as they lead their daily lives. However, these people barely seem to have time to go to class. Every possible situation that could happen does, from date rape to racism to experimenting with lesbianism. And of course this all culminates in a neo-Nazi bloodbath. What's wrong? Doesn't sound like your college? Well mine either.
However, Singleton wants us to believe this is what colleges are like, and he does so with an unconvincing script which hops around jumping from plot to plot trying to say everything he wants before the credits roll. This leaves a lot of plot holes and characters coming and going throughout the movie. Overall, not an awful movie, but it could have been a lot better.
