Title: No Animal House here.
Product review: This movie will appeal to those who've lived college life in the dormitory, or sharing apartment space. It sure reminds me of how much I miss those fun times with roommates, especially coed situations. Unlike most college movies, it's not about fraternities, partying, or goofing around. It's a slower paced, day to day activity that's realistic, dealing with studying, stresses of exams, and campus, rather than flamboyant dramas. This low budget production goes hand in hand as this genre is driven by the atmosphere, characters, and set up. Lizzy Caplan and Izabella Miko play their student roles well beyond carrying a backpack. Campbell Scott plays a depressed but accomplished published novelist who ends up crashing at these girls' place in exchange for tutoring in literature. My only complaint was that the very last end scene was a bit far fetched (exaggerated) and made to appease the Hollywood concept. Don't expect much from this flick, but it's worth it for any college grad.
