 National Lampoon's Pledge This!

Review by Clint Morris

In Pledge This! Paris Hilton plays a stuck-up, over-sexed, self-interested bimbo with more money than she knows what to do with – not to mention a reputation built solely on the fact that she’s worth so much financially. She’s just damn infuriating (especially her inability to stop using the word “Hot” in every sentence). Tell me the girl isn’t born to play that role?!

Pledge This

Perfect casting doesn’t always make for a fantastic movie though, as this atrocity so beautifully illustrates.

Around about the time Chevy Chase decided to retire the Vacation series, National Lampoon got so panicky that they announced – under the radar – that they would gladly let any stupid comedy use the name ‘National Lampoon’ for a few bucks. Since then, there’s been about two hundred pieces of crap with the word ‘National Lampoon’s…’ or ‘National Lampoon Presents…’ above the title.

Pledge This is another film that doesn’t at all deserved to be categorized alongside the likes of Class Reunion or Vacation – it’s quite simply, a shambles. An unfunny shambles.

Released a mere two-and-a-half years after it was shot (says it all), the film fixes on a group of snobby sorority chicks that are forced (equal opportunity rights and all that jazz) to let a group of not-too-pretty nerds join their gang. In doing so, everyone – but Ms Hilton’s character – learns a little about themselves… oh, and Simon Rex has his balls licked by a dog.

Considering Hilton was an executive producer on this from day one, it’s a wonder Universal even touched it.

EXTRAS

No extras to speak of, but if you're willing to check out "One Night In Paris" on the net - it's an extra in itself!

Conclusion: Movie 10% Extras: N/A
