I didn't think I would like this movie, but I was surprised by how funny it really is, especially after the bullshit that is Date Movie. Delta House is the worst fraternity at Faber College, but it's the only House pledges Larry (Tom Hulce) and Kenny (Stephen Furst) have a chance of being accepted. The Dean (John Vernon) wants Delta's charter dismissed and the whole frat thrown out but Otter (Tim Matheson) and Boon (Peter Riegert), the frat's unofficial leaders, have other ideas.
It's not so much the plot here as it is the visuals. You can't really describe John Belushi's character as important to furthering the story but this movie would not be as good without him in it. He adds an indefinable star quality that lights up the screen every time he is shown.
This is a classic comedy for a reason and if you've never seen it, you should. I'm sad it took me so long to get around to it but better late than never.
