Brotherhood
Reading like a cautionary tale to all college-bound kids, Brotherhood could be seen as a dark version of Animal House, putting a sinister spin on those innocent fraternity pranks and panty raids. Rife with profanity, racism, sexism and gratuitous violence, the film opens with a fraternity hazing prank gone horribly wrong and spirals ever downwards from there. Though each of these events could be believable in isolation, when strung together as the basis of plot, the series of disasters becomes almost laughable in its increasing outrageousness. If anything, the film is an instruction in the importance of honesty and accountability—or the stupidity of fraternity pranks. Either way, these are lessons that the audience doesn't need to be taught and doesn't want to see.2
