College Animals 2

Before I tell you what I think of this movie, I just need to tell you a few things. I'm 26 years old, big fan of all sorts of movies, no matter if they adrenaline pumping action flicks, deep emotional love dramas, intelligent satire or plain silly dumbness, as long as I get anything out of a movie, I'm satisfied.

About Dorm Daze 2 then, I saw Dorm Daze a couple years ago and I recall enjoying it. Nor more or less than any regular teen movie, but it had the whole door slamming Shakespeare thing going on which was really nice to see nicely incorporated into the American Pie format. This movie, however, tries to be as intriguing as the other one with a huge cast of people you never really get to understand who, why or what they are. The movie is a mess, but you can follow it if you really try (dispite all the errors in the plot). My main concern about this movie though, is that its not funny (and I'm a guy who found Benchwarmers hilarious for its plain and simple stupidity). There wasn't one single moment in this movie that I found funny, and I'd say I know funny when I see it, all categories. They were really trying for laughs but failed miserably. The plot work is much better then the comedy of it, but unfortunately that doesn't say much about the plot either.

Therefor, I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. Its not funny, and if you're into those plot things you better go with the first Dorm Daze instead, and stay away from this one.

So, as of writing this review, I'm 28 years old, this movie was released when I was 11, and I saw it by accident when I was 16. I think that's relevant. Watching this movie is far from watching a political blockbuster like Dr. Strangelove or a visual masterpiece like Blade Runner, but when it comes to movies you can just lay back and chill to, or watch with friends who just wants something to look at, this has several times in my life been a go-to for some reason. It's an absurd mix of premature sexual jokes and a wholly cliché storyline, while still having actors trying to do their best with a script that's... questionable. To simplify it as much as possible, it's the game of Clue (like the Savannah episode of The Office) meets horny college student. In terms of cinematic value, it's one of the lowest hanging fruits you can image, but somehow the actors executes the questionable script flawlessly. Whenever I want to lay back and relax without thinking about... well... anything, this movie is in my top 10, and I feel like it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

I usually enjoy a crazy, raunchy, comedy once in a while but this was just atrocious. I can't believe that people actually were paid to write it. I will admit that there were a couple of funny scenes but there was virtually no plot and minimal character development. I think the premise of this movie had some real possibilities in terms of delivering humour, with a plot. The American Pie films which are the same genre are far superior and I was expecting a similar product. Instead I found a disjointed somewhat vague plot, virtually no character development, jumps from event to event with little coherence. I felt very ripped off by the fact that I paid to rent this film. Very disappointing.

This is starting to be a film that I see when flipping thru the channels (and darn if Fios has a lot) late night to see if anything good is on to watch. It is relatively painless on that level, though it is hard to imagine too many will find it worthwhile to watch the whole thing. It is one of those films, however, you can mindlessly watch parts of, especially if you aren't desiring to think much. Drinking or being half asleep will help here or something along those lines.

The film is very frenetic -- it aims, especially during the extended play performance climax -- for slapstick style farce. I think it deserves a bit of love for at times managing to do this 1/2 well. It's not really that easy to do, especially with such a large cast.

Take the scene where two characters are trying to get into mood for sex. While this is happening, other things occur, and it all comes together when one of the boob characters accidentally falls over the ledge (because of some other plot development), down to his butt ramming against the cabin window. A crowd of people come in while this occurs. Basically, I'm saying, it requires some degree of plotting the situations to put this all together. It isn't that funny, mind you, but I respected the skill of it all.

Who expects much from a sequel to a film of this nature anyway? So, not much of a positive rating, but I do respect the effort. I think some of these people, including the creators of the film, might have enough talent that in another context, they could make a superior product.

Lets face if you've rented this movie your either a fan of such crude, R-rated teen humour or REALLY REALLY STUPID.

I mean if you didn't like movies like American Pie, Roadtrip etc etc than you have no business renting this movie.

And if you've liked those movies and have seen the original Dorm Daze then you'll realise that this is a sequel to a not so great movie and scale down you expectations.

BUT Being a fan of such movies and the fact that the DVD was unrated I didn't scale my expectations down to much (6/10) and popped the movie into the player.

I immediately realised that this movie would at least meet my expectations (and may be even exceed it) when I realised that this movie wasn't going to be the story of one person but is going to involve a whole lot characters. (Thus removing the single biggest mistake film makers of such movie and their sequels make, i mean come on nobody in such movies has the talent to carry a whole film on his/her shoulders, by involving many characters you are able to hide many flaws and become much more flexible).

The actors involved unfortunately look far from being teens but even then that hardly affects the movie.

The pompous British professor, the fat captain, the tyrannical dean are all caricatures and neither hamper nor enhance the film.

The film makes many attempts to revive and reinterpret old jokes such as the dead body (weekends at Bernie) etc but meets with only reasonable success.

The movie does have its moments though, the naked hanging man and the 2 scenes involving the captains wive were a absolutely hilarious and had me falling out of my seat with laughter.

The movie is ample eye candy and nudity from the extras, sadly the main stars (especially Vida Guera) do not expose. Still the chicks involved were hot and I'm not complaining.

Acting, direction etc are not really important in such movie and due to the nature of the film (many characters, plots and sub-plots) ensure that any lapses on these fronts are easily ironed out.

Even though I didn't think it were possible this movie actually had the potential to exceed expectations, but the good amount of Strictly OK scenes ensured that this movie only met my expectations.

The DVD extras were nothing special and not worth mentioning.The movie is a mixed bag and we have a few money moments, hot chicks, nudity and a couple of absolutely hilarious scenes mixed mostly with a fair amount of not so funny moments, failed attempts and over the top scenes.

In all an OK movie thats worth a rent if you are are a fan of such movies and are desperate to watch a movie of this type.

-s fair amount of OK and not so OK scenes,cast strictly OK, no nudity from the stars.

+/s caricaturish characters, DVD extras.

+s 2 absolutely hilarious scenes (especially the captains wife),a mixed bag of funny jokes.

Total 6/10( absolute and factoring in expectations)
