P.C.U.

What's not to like! Protest not to protest. Genius. Pit party off the chain! What’s great is the satire of a college campus being overly involved in activism. You think it was at its peak, but this is actually what college campuses are like across America in 2019, if not worse.

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.! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Long-time customer and reviewed hundreds of movies and this is one that I would totally recommend if you can find it it is good luck sincerely J Triplett

Great movie! It's especially relevant now. It's fair to say that it was far ahead of its time.

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.

I got this movie once on VHS from K-Mart! I lost my old dvd copy, Yes I'm old, but this seller gave me a good deal on a dvd so I bought my 3rd copy! It's still funny! Lolol!

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.

This movie is more relevant in 2021 than when it was made, and it’s hard to find it anywhere. With the PC minefield we have to maneuver thru on the daily, “can’t we all just get along” is a mantra our nation should take up now more than ever! Great cast and big laughs!

This is a fun romp through the PC inanity of the early 90’s. The freaky part is that it hasn’t changed much, they’ve just new categories of insanity like global warming and transgenderism. The bottom line is still the same too: kids want to get laid.

The film does remind me of a modern day animal house (as per my title) in that it's a wacky campus film, poorest performing house on campus throws a party etc.It is set at Port Chester University. A high school student visits a campus for the day and gets introduced to the various politically correct factions. And then manages to pee them all off. In some respects, this film takes a good pop at the PC crowd, sometimes over the top granted, but it still made me chuckle. Jeremy Pivens' character "Droz" being the stand out person in the film and yes, there is a likeness to Bluto.Is it as good as animal house? Probably not to a lot of die-hard fans. Have I watched it several times and still loved it? Definately! Would I recommend this film? Definately again! - I'm British and I love this film despite some of the American-ness of the film.(Having been to uni, I can say some of the humour is spot on)As an added bonus for music fans, George Clinton guest stars in the film and the soundtrack has a lot of music performed by none other than Steve Vai!
