Going Greek

This very silly comedy actually has a heart, unlike many such frat-house comedies. Gil's father was a member of this frat in decades ago, and misfit Gil really needs this to fit in. His roommate, Jake - a major stud has what it takes to get in, but he wants nothing to do with frat house crap. Gil convinces him to pledge and that's where all the shenanigans begin. The pledge period causes one guy to be dropped off on the side of the road dressed only in a leather harness, codpiece and ball gag. He stays in that outfit for at least 10 minutes of the film. Also of interest to male nude scene lovers, are the "circle-jerk" - where there is no full-frontal nudity - but it's fun nonetheless and the "beaver shot" - whose details we are reluctant to reveal here. For those who love female nudity there are several topless scenes, including one of a women who should consider the legal system as a recourse for one of the worst boob jobs this writer has seen. Frat house gags, nudity, lessons of acceptance - it all fits together nicely in Going Greek.
