Sadly Over-hyped

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

After the president of Yellowstream University dies (he dies via a heart attack after a mooning incident by the Phi Cappa Delta fraternity), the dean of the school pledges to get rid of the farting, drinking, mooning cretins. Oh who am I kidding? This lesser Animal House clone plot line is kept to a bare minimum used to (vaquely) tie random scenes together said scenes more often then not revolve around farting.I really don't mind crude, vulgar, or tasteless humor. If done in a funny way I can usually get a chuckle or two out of it at the least. However this film is just sad. Instead of laughing, I found myself yawning. This film has been done both before and since and much better I may add.Eye Candy: three pairs of tits My Grade: D DVD Extras: Nothng other then a 2 & a half minute slide-show (to make matters worse the DVD seems to be a videotape transfer)

I saw this movie in the middle eighties, and I never forgot...I love the lame humor, the pointless gags and the "every day is a party" kind of lifestyle..Scenes like when they place some dog droppings in the ventilation of a church,where there's a funeral going on....I love this scene.Or when the "Gorilla" is stuck inside the girl and a ambulance arrives is hilarious...along with the scene in the "rubble" house, where the cook dumps spaghetti on the wall to see if its ready...is memorable...The most funny part is the farting contest.....even the dog drinks some farting elixir...and explode like a rocket... :-) Its so lame its funny.....

This movie severely thrashes all the other college movies out there. It tramples on the "PCU", "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Road Trip", although if you liked any of those you'd love "King Frat". Instead of being one continuous unbelievable story, like "Nerds" or "Animal House", "King Frat" is more of a compilation of vignettes about the frat boys, which, when you think about it, is really closer to what college life is really like: one prank after another. It pulls each scene off well, except the prostitution scene, and keeps themes running through the film. But what separates this film from the rest, and even bigger budget movies with a wider release area, is the characterization. I have never seen a film where the characters are as well portrayed and with such honesty. It's a gem, if you watch this film prepare to be amazed. I've actually had friends write term papers on this movie.Ok, some of the scenes do go nowhere, but that's not the point. It's a movie about college pranksters and if you're looking for Shakespeare, this ain't it. But it is entertaining in a crude, heart-of-gold kind of way. A lot like "Animal House" (John DiSanti plays the Budget Belushi well), of course, but unique and special in itself. It's a shame that "King Frat" didn't get a large theatrical release, or any publicity of any kind, because it really is a pretty good goofy movie. Everyone to whom I showed this movie loved it and I've heard it has a pretty good cult following (in Australia of all places).If you can find it, get it. It's not for everyone but it's a film everyone should give a good fair chance.

This film opened in Seattle only in two drive-in's as KING "#*!x" FRAT with a girl who is not in the movie standing in front of a cartoon frat house. (the second week, the film because 2nd feature to PROM NIGHT). The film has some funny moments, but some gags goes on forever. Desantis, who worked for the director before, is way too old for the belushi part as a fat crazy frat guy. The title song "king Frat" is pretty catchy. The film is under several different titles on video like CAMPUS KINGS (might be public domain). Recommended to high school college kids who want to see ANIMAL HOUSE type film.
