“As far as homages to / imitations of u0026quot;Animal Houseu0026quot; go, this has to rank as a pretty good one. Itu0026#39;s got good characters, some amusing dialogue, decent satire of special interest groups, and a cool soundtrack. Its pacing is acceptable, its running time brief (81 minutes in total), and its spirit irresistible.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMarking a rare directorial effort by actor Hart Bochner (whou0026#39;s best known as weaselly executive Ellis in the action classic u0026quot;Die Hardu0026quot;), u0026quot;PCUu0026quot; features Chris Young as Tom Lawrence, a clean cut, wide eyed u0026quot;normalu0026quot; sort of guy who is checking out Port Chester University to see if heu0026#39;d like to go there in the fall. He gets caught up in the fervor of various u0026quot;politically correctu0026quot; activists, as well as the activities of the wacky guys and gals of The Pit, a student group known for their nonconformity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs you may guess from that running time, thereu0026#39;s really not that much story here, but there are enough laughs to keep the movie watchable. Jeremy Piven contributes a charismatic star turn as u0026quot;Drozu0026quot;, leader of The Pit. Megan Ward and Sarah Trigger supply appealing love interests for Young and Piven. Jessica Walter does fine as an easier-on-the-eyes version of Dean Vernon Wormer. David Spade is extremely well cast as the snooty and smarmy preppie McPherson. There are also engaging performances by actor / director Jon Favreau and Alex Desert. George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic further spice things up with their appearance. The climactic party shows how sometimes people just need to lighten up and enjoy life a little more.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWith its well defined protagonists and antagonists, the end is appropriately satisfying, and overall u0026quot;PCUu0026quot; provides solid entertainment to those just looking to have a good time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSeven out of 10.”
