FRESHMAN ORIENTATION [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 2005
• Genre: Special Interest
• Plot: SYNOPSIS; College orientation is rarely as demented as in this riotously un-PC farce about a frisky, fumbling 18-year-old freshman who plays gay to ingratiate himself with a ravishing sorority girl. REVIEW; College newbie Clay (Sam Huntington) is virtually invisible in the eyes of the women on campus. Yet when a beautiful sorority pledge, Amanda (Kaitlin Doubleday), is challenged to make a homosexual guy fall in love with her, Clay decides to take advantage of the opportunity. But how does he convince her he’s gay? Clay finds a tutor in the fine art of faggotry in Rodney (a hysterically flaming John Goodman), a local gay bar owner, but – of course! - the ruse goes awry, causing campus chaos for students of all sexualities. ; Originally titled Home of Phobia when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, writer/director Ryan Shiraki’s hilarious Freshman Orientation bears a delicious similarity to straight-plays-gay comedy hit Eating Out. Add many wickedly twisted jabs at identity politics, and bitingly funny supporting turns from out actress Heather Matarazzo and Rachel Dratch, and you’ve got one orientation program worth enrolling in! ;
