PCU

Love this movie it's a classic got it as a gift 🎁

Highly recommended!

I have a huge DVD/VHS collection of films. I can generally find most movies I want in truck stops, 5 dollar bins or flea markets. I’ve searched for PCU for years. This was a pleasant purchase experience. it wan’t unreasonably priced and it came in full on 1994 packaging. I forgot how much fun it was to peal off the barcodes on all sides. This really was a wonderful purchase!! I highly recommend!

I caught this movie on video not long after it took a dive in theatres in 1994 and had no expectations for it. I was surprised how much I loved it and after half-a-dozen viewings it still holds up as one of the top "kollege skool daze" films of all-time. A sort of 1990s take on "Animal House" but adjusted to reflect the smothering, neutering, pandering effect that political correctness has had on society, and college society in particular, "PCU" is the story of a hapless perspective freshman ("prefresh") who visits the fictional Port Charles University, once a happening party school that has been spayed by its obsessively PC dean. The prefresh finds himself in the middle of a war being waged between the Order of Balls & Shaft (a button-down clan of elitist snobs led by super-smarmy David Spade) and a group of renegade misfits led by Droz (Jeremy Piven at his very best) over ownership of "the Pit" -- the decaying fraternity house occupied by Droz's band but which once housed Spade's Hitler Youth troop. The real battle on campus, however, is between those who just want to party and have a good time and various sterotypical groups (militant blacks, feminazis, potheads, vegans, gays, etc) who have made any behavior that doesn't involve protesting basically impossible. The president of the university, Garcia-Thomas (note the hyphen), so hates the "offensive" Pit-persons that she sides with Spade's group to drive them off campus even though Spade is the antithesis of all of her beliefs. What follows is general chaos, with a hilarious performance by John Favereau (fat and wearing dreadlocks) as Gutter, a moron who fails every task given to him yet somehow gets George Clinton and his P-Funk All Stars to jam at a "Save the Pit" fundraiser. "PCU" is hardly a perfect movie, but having had an extremely crazy college career I could definetly relate to what happens in the film, and I most definetly give a "big up" (as they say in Jamaica) to the brutally anti-PC message. Simply put, I laughed my butt off at this film. It's worth at least a rental and I can't wait for the DVD so I can watch the Pit crew bombard the vegans with meat again and again.

I've seen this movie many times and I wanted to add it to my movie collection.

The movie has a pretty star studded cast. Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Rush Hour 2, Smokin' Aces, Cars), Jon Favreau (Swingers, Iron Man, I Love You Man), David Spade (Tommy Boy, SNL, Rules of Engagement), Jessica Walter (Mother in Arrested Development) and Alex Désert (Swingers, Becker).The movie is a tight 90 minutes about a Senior in High School (Tom Lawrence, played by Chris Young) who is visiting PCU (Port Chester University) for the day, because he is interested in attending. Piven's character is signed up, as a prank, by a friend (Alex Désert) to show around "the pre-frosh"(Tom) the School. Piven is in a frat that is dwindling in numbers and has a bad rep. The school, according to many of the characters, is drowning from being politically correct. Piven, Young and Désert cause some trouble and need to get some money to bail them selves out.The movie is the story of how they do it, things that stop them and has many different good themes, that if I tell you may give away too much of the plot.The movie is well written, has a lot of heart and has you understanding who the characters are without much explanation. The movie is from 1994 and it shows, but doesn't take much away from it. In the end, what you have is a funny, entertaining movie worth watching. I recommend this movie for anyone who likes Piven or quirky, off beat comedies like Eurotrip.

A really great comedy that a lot of people don’t know about. Because I think it was pulled from the shelves or went out of print or something because it’s too out of there funny totally not PC that’s why I love it awesome movie go to check it out.!
