action
The high school -Absolvent Bartleby Gaines is supported by all colleges where he applied rejected. His friends Hands, Rory and Glen are doing no better. In order to make her parents happy and not to be seen as a failure among friends, she and her boyfriend Sherman, who was accepted at Harmon University, have the idea of founding a fictional college. So they make up letters of acceptance and create a website . So that their parents do not realize that her college S outh H armon I nstitute of T echnology (SHIT) does not exist, they lease an old psychiatry . When hundreds of other students, who also received only rejections from other colleges, register via the somewhat too functional website and pay tuition fees at the same time, the friends are forced to take up the college. However, this is of a very idiosyncratic nature and determined by voluntariness. Unfortunately, their building blocks the expansion plans of a neighboring “real” college, whose rector is doing everything possible to shut down its unconventional educational operations. However, after a hearing, the college council eventually granted the college a one-year probationary period.
criticism
"What may be thought of as a subversive answer to the restrictive education system in the USA turns out to be an implausible anarchic comedy that overloads the trials and tribulations with too many problems."
"Steve Pink - who has so far appeared as a screenwriter for works like 'High Fidelity' and 'Grosse Pointe Blank' - does indeed strike a critical note in his directorial debut, but after a thoroughly funny and quite subversive beginning, he falls for the usual teenage film- Clichés. What could have turned out to be a fitting and amusing criticism of the US education system soon turns out to be bland teenage fun. "
“Contrary to expectations, 'SHIT' is a convincing comedy for young people and the young at heart. Finally the constant fight between the losers and the slippery eels, the rich and the beautiful, goes into the second round and this time the outsiders are ahead. Although the film uses the usual clichés, it does not turn out to be the catastrophe that the title seems to trumpet into the world. "
