A "pre-frosh" visits the campus of Port Chester University and soon becomes embroiled in the politics of college life between The Pit (the party house) and the politically correct factions, including the Cause-Heads, the Womynists, the Afrocentrists and other protest groups. It's an amusing premise for sure, but never quite reaches its satirical potential. Mainly, I find it a curiosity as to how much PC culture has changed in the intervening 30 years. This feels very, very tame compared to the madness that exists today. Weirdly, the most relatable character is played by David Spade, who is deemed the villain here. Ironically, the film lacks the conviction to lean into political incorrectness. Perhaps if it were R-rated, it would have more bite. Compared to classic college comedies like Animal House and Dead Man on Campus, it doesn't really hold up.
