Naked Campus

The title may be misleading if one is seeking a movie about naked people running around a campus. This is not "that kind of movie" so save your money if that is what you are looking for.

The title is appropriate when I think back to the sheltered life led on Campus, in the dorm, in friendships that were centered on fun. The Naked Campus is where young people who have been students from 6 years old to early 20's are suddenly expected to "grow up" and fill the expectations of family. Where they learn the harder, relational lessons.

I liked it. This is one of those "snap shot" movies; reality TV ahead of it's day. There are some tough issues addressed such as alcoholism, family pressure to meet expectations and co-dependency. There are some very dramatic scenes as a result of the alcohol abuse.

It is a "low budget" film but still it held my attention and was a good story overall. The acting is good, actually better than you might expect.
