Synopsis:
Remember the time when the beer flowed a little colder, sex was a little easier, and life was a little less complicated...or so we thought.
Echoing hits such as "Animal House", "Something About Mary", and "American Pie",
"Going Greek" bucks the recent trend of gross-out teen comedies but lacks the heart and likeable characters of their predecessors.
Set in any-college U.S.A., "Going Greek" tells the story of Jake, an embittered ex-high school football star who is coerced into pledging the "coolest" fraternity on campus in order to protect Gil, his somewhat nerdy, but Greek-obsessed cousin.
As several of the frat brothers step up their attempts to force Gil into quitting the house, Jake enlists the aid of his fellow pledges into seeing the big-hearted Gil through to the end.
Through keg parties, sorority swapping, and other creative pledge activities, Jake quickly learns that no man is an island and that the friends we make in college are friends for life.
This hilarious film stars an up-and-coming ensemble cast led by Dylan Bruno, Laura Harris, Simon Rex, Oliver Hudson, Susan Ward, and Chris Owen.
