I co-wrote this movie

Awesome. I love the fact that people laughed. Millions of people have seen this silly movie. That's great.

Btw, no.

I think ultimately the studio and director went for comedy over story. Which makes the final thing seem more shallow than it already was.

When we were writing it we thought it would turn out a little more mainstream like Tootsie, but with an "R" edge, like some nudity, but funny, not gratuitous. Example, we wanted the "giant" girl to be huge and shot differently to make her seem abnormally large. Then when Adam first tries to go to the ladies room - BAM a huge naked butt is blocking his view.

And then I personally don't like the opening scene - we had pictured the "ceremony" differently, more serious in tone, darker - then the lights come up full when Dave enters, changing the mood totally to party atmosphere raging outside. I felt that the "president" had an over the top acting style that didn't fit with the other guys. Then Adam coming in on that dumb wood thing just didn't work. What was that?! That entrance felt very forced to me. The whole begining of the movie feels flat until they show in dresses at the all trim party. That was a problem in the script from the begining.

I could talk about every scene in the movie, but will spare you.

In all fairness, it turned out to be a lot funnier than the script in many places thanks to Wally and the cast.

I saw Van Wilder, but can't recall much of it now. I'd say Old School blew Sorority Boys away, however.

Yeah, that is hilarious, especially the part about him asking for a part in a movie. I totally didn't see it coming.

Anyways, I thought Sorority Boys was a decent movie. It had its moments of hilarity and quotability (very important- Anchorman) The acting and the hot girls saved it. I'll admit I watched it at first just for the girls.

Anywho, I'm an amateur filmmaker so I'm wondering about the process of the whole thing.

Are you apart of a company or are you just an individual that whores scripts/ideas out to whoever? If you are an individual how do you setup meetings and who do you go to? Anything else you could tell me about the process would be greatly appreciated.

My friend and I have this crazy marketing scheme worked up for our idea, but I'd rather do something a bit more traditional rather than "hey look at me".

As a Sorority girl who woke up at a Frat house one morning and watched this movie I must admit that it was hysterical. I'll also admit I picked it just to watch Michael Rosenbaum (mmmm Michael), but in the end I loved the movie overall. There are parts of it that are sadly true (every frat has that one sleazy guy that tapes himself having sex, every campus has a bitchy or geeky sorority). The walk of shame made me laugh harder than anything in the world!! So did the letters of the houses.
For the people who think that Harland was too old, not everyone in University is 19, and we all have at least one alumni who hangs around past due or takes a couple of victory laps (hey in my case it's me).
I am sorry that it didn't meet your expectations as a writer, but it was still a fun movie that met my expectations for a comedy. Don't let the people who take life too seriously let you think that it wasn't worthwhile. I hope that you are able to write some more, you have a good sense of humor. Good luck on future projects.
