action

Two North American student associations compete in one city . The male group ΚΟΚ ( Kappa Omikron Kappa) is mainly interested in wild parties with lots of alcohol and sex. After one of these wet and happy celebrations, however, a scandal breaks out. The members Dave, Adam and Doofer, who are responsible for the finances of the KOK, are accused of theft after the safe was found empty. At a meeting, the remaining members decide to expel the three traitors. The exclusion comes at an extremely unfavorable time, because the annual “Cocktail Cruise” will take place in a few weeks. This cruise is considered an important platform for discussions about the future careers of college students. Dave's father has promised his son a job at a reputable company and his two friends are to be hired as employees. Now the scandal threatens them to miss this unique opportunity. However, they are sure that Chairman Spence stole the money and want to prove it with a video. To get to the evidence, however, they have to go to the KOK house again.

It occurs to them that there is a party in the evening. They dress up as women, but they are denied access to the video. Instead, they fall into the female group ΔΟΓ ( Delta Omikron Gamma , DOG), which defends itself against the sexual exploitation of women and advocates for women who are disadvantaged because of their less attractive appearance or other weaknesses. The young men, who usually stand out for their impressive behavior and arrogant sayings, not only have to hide their true gender among the female students, but also have to deal with the female personality. In the next few hours they get to know the everyday problems women face. Their lives are made even more difficult when "Adina" is sexually assaulted by her / his brother Jimmy while trying to get the video, and chairwoman Leah reveals her lesbian interest in "Daisy" while Dave talks to a romantic Shakespeare - Trying to seduce Sonnet .

After some turbulent events, the three students have a chance to solve their problem. The DOG competes against the “Tri Pi”, a group of blonde women, in a football game. The winner is allowed to accompany the KOK on the cruise. At first the game doesn't go according to plan and the three strong men are taken by surprise by the "Tri Pi". But then “Adina” motivates the remaining team members with psychological tricks and the DOG can still decide the game in their favor. When they arrive at the port, the "Tri Pi" have already taken their place on the ship. The DOG are not intimidated by this thanks to their new self-confidence, throw the blondes overboard and board the ship. There Dave, Adam and Doofer reveal their true identity. You present the tell-tale video and Dave is given the desired job. He can also win Leah for himself.

Reviews

  • Roger Ebert thought the title of the film was the best of the entire work and advised not to go any further after looking at the film poster, since then you would already know everything you need to know about the film.
  • The cinema magazine Cinema : Au weia: unshaven boys with cheap wigs play Charley's aunt on an underground level. The magazine gave the film the worst rating.
  • The lexicon of international films says: "Charley's aunt" in the guise of an extremely silly campus comedy.
