College
Deb Hagan


The burning question here is: Why didn’t this go straight to video? Actually no, it should be, why did this even get made in the first place?
The mean-spirited film takes three high-school seniors and plonks them at a college’s orientation weekend. This turns into an excuse for an exercise in excess as they get sloshed, get hazed and get laid.
It is a mystery why bland Kevin (Drake Bell), nerdy Morris (Kevin Covais) and chubby Carter (Andrew Caldwell) are even friends since they barely have anything in common.
Carter is a bully who delights in being mean to Morris while Kevin is, well, bland.
The hangover you will have after partying on New Year’s Eve will be more fun than this.
