 "The stupidest, most insulting movie of 2002's first quarter."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER
 "You'd never have guessed by the first 10 minutes, but "Sorority Boys" is a pretty darned good flick."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"The logic of it all will be Greek to anyone not predisposed to the movie's rude and crude humor."
-- Marjorie Baumgarten, AUSTIN CHRONICLE
"A tired, predictable, bordering on offensive, waste of time, money and celluloid."
-- Mike Bell, JAM! MOVIES
"If you're hard up for raunchy college humor, this is your ticket right here."
-- Eric Campos, FILM THREAT
"The members manage to pronounce KOK exactly as you think they might, thus giving the cast ample opportunity to use that term as often as possible. It’s very Beavis and Butthead, yet always seems to elicit a chuckle."
-- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Pretend like your SAT scores are below 120 and you might not notice the flaws."
-- Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, THEMOVIECHICKS.COM
"The film is directed by Wally Wolodarsky from a script by Joe Jarvis and Greg Coolidge. These are names to remember, in order to avoid them in the future."
-- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS
"...expects us to laugh at the utter stupidity of the characters. But that doesn’t work when the movie is equally as stupid.
"
-- Blake French, NUTZWORLD
"If this movie belonged to a sorority, it would be called Beta Alpha Delta."
-- Chris Hewitt, ST. PAUL PIONEER PRESS
"Full of witless jokes, dealing in broad stereotypes and outrageously unbelievable scenarios, and saddled with a general air of misogyny"
-- James Kendrick, Q NETWORK FILM DESK
"The writers, director Wally Wolodarsky, and all the actors should start their own coeducational fraternity: Kappa Rho Alpha Phi."
-- Jim Lane, SACRAMENTO NEWS & REVIEW
"The film has [its] moments, but they are few and far between."
-- Eric Lurio, GREENWICH VILLAGE GAZETTE

"When the casting call for this movie went out, it must have read 'seeking anyone with acting ambition but no sense of pride or shame.'"
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"Credit must be given to Harland Williams, Michael Rosenbaum and Barry Watson, who inject far more good-natured spirit and talent into this project than it deserves"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"It may be a no-brainer, but at least it’s a funny no-brainer."
-- David Cornelius, AMAZING COLOSSAL WEBSITE
"Not only unfunny, but downright repellent."
-- David Ehrenstein, NEW TIMES
"The first shocking thing about Sorority Boys is that it's actually watchable. Even more baffling is that it's funny."
-- Marc Fortier, REEL.COM
"Harland Williams is so funny in drag he should consider permanent sex-reassignment."
-- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE
"A one-trick pony whose few T&A bits still can't save itself from being unoriginal, unfunny and unrecommendable."
-- JoBlo, JOBLO'S MOVIE EMPORIUM
"Sorority Boys, which is as bad at it is cruel, takes every potential laugh and stiletto-stomps the life out of it."
-- Ellen Kim, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"Tries to work in the same vein as the brilliance of Animal House but instead comes closer to the failure of the third Revenge of the Nerds sequel."
-- David Levine, FILMCRITIC.COM
"The premise for this kegger comedy probably sounded brilliant four six-packs and a pitcher of margaritas in, but the film must have been written ... in the thrall of a vicious hangover."
-- Paul Malcolm, L.A. WEEKLY

"To say this was done better in Wilder's Some Like It Hot is like saying the sun rises in the east."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"None of this sounds promising and, indeed, the first half of Sorority Boys is as appalling as any 'comedy' to ever spill from a projector's lens."
-- Jason Anderson, GLOBE AND MAIL
"Skip this dreck, rent Animal House and go back to the source."
-- Al Brumley, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"Because the intelligence level of the characters must be low, very low, very very low, for the masquerade to work, the movie contains no wit, only labored gags."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Whatever the movie's sentimental, hypocritical lessons about sexism, its true colors come out in various wet T-shirt and shower scenes."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"The noble tradition of men in drag hits an all-time low in Sorority Boys, whose makers apparently believe that women's clothing can cover up any deficiency in acting, writing or direction."
-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"The situations and jokes are as predictable and as lowbrow as the endless pratfalls the boys take in their high heels."
-- Loren King, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"Even by the intentionally low standards of frat-boy humor, Sorority Boys is a bowser."
-- Terry Lawson, DETROIT FREE PRESS
"This comic gem is as delightful as it is derivative."
-- Carla Meyer, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Merely (and literally) tosses around sex toys and offers half-hearted paeans to empowerment that are repeatedly undercut by the brutality of the jokes, most at women's expense."
-- Dave Nuttycombe, WASHINGTON POST

"All's well that ends well, and rest assured, the consciousness-raising lessons are cloaked in gross-out gags."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
