I have to admit that I rented this movie because Paris Hilton was in it. Now that that's outta the way, the second reason was because it was National Lampoon's. We're talking about the same people that brought us Van Wilder, Animal House and the Vacation series!!! With that said, after the movie was over, I asked myself, "And why was the name National Lampoon's" on this???? I have to admit that I didn't care too much for the Dorm Days series, either, and was even whispering then.......What happened to National Lampoon's??? Anyway, I have seen quite a few Paris Hilton films and enjoyed them all, and to be honest, I didn't think she did a bad job here guys. I've seen her do worse, like her performance in Bottom's Up with Jason Mewes. It almost appeared as if she didn't really want to do that movie, as she was not making an effort to making her character believable. As for the rest of Pledge This? The movie was filled with extremely lame punchlines and a predictable outcome. I watched the Special Features, and one of the actors, I believe it was, actually called it a great script! You could have put, I don't know, Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid in this movie and it still wouldn't have been a great script! I will give it 3 stars because even though it was predictable, I thought with funnier punchlines, it actually could have been a hilarious movie. All in all, I think Paris has the potential to be a good actress if she'd stop accepting roles that are based on, well....her! Oh, and WHAT HAPPENED TO NATIONAL LAMPOON'S????

Not that bad.....But not that good either.

Two deciding factors made me want to rent this movie. Paris Hilton is in it and Jason Mewes is in it. Was I disappointed? Not entirely. However, I did have to come to the realization (and rather quickly) that Jason's character in this movie was nowhere near what we see him portray as "Jay" in the Kevin Smith flicks. Once I got over that, I decided to concentrate on the plot of the film.....and Paris Hilton. Overall, the punchlines were lacking and the story line was way too predictable. All in all, it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't that good either. Would I watch it again? Perhaps. Would I watch it a third time? Probably not.
