Sorority Boys DVD Review:


The Movie

The only way for Dave (Watson), Adam (Rosenbaum), and Doofer (Williams) to become one of the boys again is to become one of the girls. In SORORITY BOYS, these guys are three playboy chauvinists who, strapped for cash, find themselves drawn to one last, desperate hope for free housing: one of their campus' sororities, Delta Omicron Gamma (or D.O.G.).

With a little makeup, a little pantyhose, and lots of "pluck," Dave, Adam and Doofer go undercover in the sorority house as Daisy, Adina, and Roberta. Everything goes according to plan. until Dave falls for Leah (Melissa Sagemiller), the alpha D.O.G. Life's a drag as the boys see firsthand how the other half lives - their history of treating women badly comes back to haunt them when they walk a mile in another's (high heeled) shoes. Meanwhile, Dave wants to tell Leah about who he really is, but without destroying "Daisy's" relationship with the girl of his dreams. What's a boy (pretending to be a girl) to do?

SORORITY BOYS is the type of film that will make you laugh out loud. The film has the conventional seeing through the “eyes of woman” plot line, but that old plot line is brought back in a very comical way. The journey for our frat brothers is an entertaining one. I should warn that this film will not charm everyone, however for those of you who just want some good foolish fun look no further, SORORITY BOYS is sure to entertain.

The Video

SORORITY BOYS appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, dual-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions. I thought the picture looked first-rate. Sharpness was solid. I noticed softness on a few wide shots, but this was not enough to cause any major concerns. No concerns with jagged, but there were instances of light edge enhancement. The image looked clean; I detected no signs of speckles or grain. Colors emerged bright and lively throughout the film. Black levels came across as profound and solid, and shadow detail was fine. In the end, SORORITY BOYS looked relatively fine.

The Audio

SORORITY BOYS contains a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. The mix sounded reasonably clear with no worries. The sound field stayed toward the forward channels. Music mix showed fixed stereo; surrounds backed up the film most of the time and audio quality appeared clear and precise for the most part. Overall, SORORITY BOYS had an adequate audio track which remained pretty reasonable for this type of film.

The Extras

"Boys Will Be Girls" Behind-The-Scenes Featurette

Overall

Overall, the DVD offered a generally positive picture and sound plus a petite roster of extras. SORORITY BOYS is hilarious entertainment at its supreme. This film works well and the DVD comes highly recommended.
