This movie was an incredibly unrealistic view of college life and alcohol use. It is true that college students drink. To assume otherwise would be ignorant and naive. However, this movie was blatant holier-than-thou propaganda trying to spark fear into the hearts of parents sending their babies off to college for the first time. I mean, honestly, the ending was so ridiculous that I laughed out loud. It was like an hour long public service announcement containing the same quality of material presented in 1985.Instead of this movie presenting a non-biased view of alcohol use in college settings, it completely went to the extreme, making any use of alcohol seem like it would only lead to unsafe sex, failing grades, and even death! I would have liked the ending to have shown this girl being able to drink a couple of beers, or some wine with responsible and mature friends without taking off her top and driving drunk. This would have shown that yes, it's OK to drink, as long as it's in moderation, with people you can trust. All this movie did was show that college students will either only drink extreme amounts, in extreme settings, and fail in life, or not drink ever again and live life happily ever after. Ridiculous! Horrible Horrible movie. Don't waste your time.

Terrible movie. Like a train wreck that I couldn't turn away from.
