Gen X comedy not a tired enough concept for you? How about Gen X comedy patterned after ANIMAL HOUSE? While not frat brothers per se, this motley band of Santa Cruz, CA, college seniors certainly act the part: They're boorish, they throw wild parties, they all live together in a house christened "El Rancho Grande," and they seem to prefer each other's company to that of their girlfriends. Life after graduation looks pretty scary from inside the fine arts department, so head party animal Jack (Ben Affleck) convinces the boys to rent the house for another year and forestall the inevitable. Every once in a while the film sobers up long enough to realize that these guys are actually pretty pathetic: During these brief moments, things become vaguely interesting. Unfortunately, angst isn't very funny, and someone invariably pulls out the beer bong. leave a comment --Ken Fox
