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.
