An interesting experiment by Lee, as it is a comedy/drama/musical. This film has its moments and flaws, but set the stage for Lee's next film and one of his best...DO THE RIGHT THING.

A modern day musical before musicals became all the rage again. Highlights the absurdity of color consciousness within the African American culture; how it hurts, divides, humiliates, and devestates the phsyche of African American individuals. Well done. Thanks Spike!

MCT:December 15, 2007I've watched plenty of medieval samurai movies and felt more connected to the cultural milieu than I did watching this. It's a whole other, and to me completely alien, world. That's not a bad thing. In fact I guess it's a sign that it works.
Some of it's funny, some of it's not. Some of the songs are cool, some of 'em aren't. It's supposed to be a musical comedy but it kind of isn't, and even if it is it's a Spike Lee Joint so it's full of politics. The use of Bill Lee's music, while it's very listenable, seems to confuse matters even more.
It's a lot of fun but it's all over the place - a bit like all that 80s hair it's full of. -

Zany and infuriating film about contradictions on a Black college campus. One of my favorites since I was a kid, and one of the films that endured me to Spike Lee as a director.

If you're a Greek, then you've probably seen this movie a zillion times. I still love it. Cult classic!

Though I admire Spike's efforts, I just can't get with this. If he's trying to break down a tradition here, alright. but I have read that during filming, he had the dark skinned girls in a shabby hotel, and the light skinned girls in a classier one. I have a serious problem with this. What happened to judging a person by character? why must we as a people cling to the white that we despise? sorry. just can't get with it, and what made me really hate it when one of the fraternity brothers made his best girl(Tisha Campbell) go to bed with one of the pledgees then dumps her when she does it. I'm sorry, but to me, your perpetrating a myth that has no place here.

makes a good point, shows how tough the world can be on you. go ahead, don't look so closely at what happens, try to describe it in general and then see if any of it applies in what you see around you.

This brings back my past. I went to high school down the street from Morehouse and my high school band is in this movie. I graduated High school when this movie came out. It was an introduction to college life for me and I to this day still enjoy it.

Chile.......this movie right here is one of the things that encouraged me to go to a historically black college lol. It made people aware of apartheid and black-on-black hatred. This movie is truly inspirational. Kudos to Spike Lee =)

Spike Lee hit the mark with his interpretation of race relations at an all Black college. The soundtrack was also off the hook.

Hell yeah!!! Love this from the begining to the end. Spike Lee needs an oscar, emmy, and grammy. Good and bad hair!! Go Teisha Cambell, and Larence Fishburn.

I love the song "I don't wanna be alone tonight."
The depiction of "caste" systems on college campuses was well portrayed. This film showed Spike Lee's potential as a writer and director. -

A lot of people were not hip to class and color complexion differences among African-Americans before this film was released. Puts a lot on the mind.

Spike hits home with this deep insight to self-hatred and the need to WAKE UP and overcome it. Loved it!

One of my top favorites, with Giancarlo and Laurence need I say more. I watched this so many times, I saw Laurences' "member" while his girlfriend was drying him off. Can I just say woowwwee!!!

Important messages thur the movie how young adults see each other; strange fruit.The best part was at the party. Phyllis Hyman song "Be One" wowwww!!!! what a beautiful voice. A singer who can sing a song. Divas are born not put together.

Good movie with an important message. The musical numbers were pretty funny. But the end was terribly hokey, like that would ever work in real life.

This is a Spike Lee classic. Being a member of a Black Greek Organization, I must say, this is the only movie that comes close to depicitng what it's like being a member of one.
