Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

BStruthandlogic This movie isn't for everyone so if you are afraid of talking about racism, colorism and other types of discrimination this movie is not for you.If you interested in watching something enlightening and educational, this is a movie that is worth the celluloid it was recorded on.The first time I saw this movie, I was very young and unaware and did not realize the importance of this movie.However, after seeing it as an adult, I have to say that it was quite ahead of its time and still very relevant today.If you purchase or rent the DVD, make it a point to listen to the director's commentary. It was very enlightening to learn that a lot of what was going on in the movie was actually happening while he was filming this movie and that is what makes it all that much more important of a film. It was also interesting what he did to create the friction between the groups as well. There was mention of how sorority sisters were being treated by the fraternity men in these colleges. It was also ironic to hear that the person chosen to be play the president of the university was frowned upon because of the way he looked.I only gave it a 9 because the only flaw that I could find in it was that it could have gone deeper in the discussion of colorism. I feel it did not go deep enough. However as I stated, it is relevant and ahead of its time.

jed-estes I like this film only because it is an early effort by the master Spike Lee before he hit his stride with Do The Right Thing in 1989. I believe one reason this film baffles me is that I come from Kentucky and as far as I know there are no immediate black colleges in my area which is a sorta of a shame. I never experienced life on a African American campus and this film is just over my head. I feel that Lee new what he was talking about he just should have made the film a little more open for the general public to follow. I know he could have done better as the show A Different World which is about the same subject matter and is overly entertaining to watch. It also includes most of the cast Lee brings to this film. Lee makes other inspired casting choices in this film with then named Larry Fishburn, Bill Nunn, Ginocarlo Espasito, Tisia Cambell, and an early, early appearance by Sam L. Jackson outside of the KFC. This actors bring a lot the table and somewhat pull it off. I just think the film should have been a little more open as Spike's latter films are. I guess you gotta learn somewhere. Rock on Spike.

chays_crystal I watched School Daze for the first time on July 25, 2006. I must say even though it does despite some of the frats and sororities it is a very good movie. because I am apart of an sorority and the jig a boos and the wanna bees act just like my sorority and another one the way the fight. and I really like the movie and I was very powerful in the message it was trying to put out. that the Historical black college people do need to wake up. and I really wish that an updated version could be done because I really think that HBCS have really come along way. and especially with the none hazing policies that are issued for the Greek letter organizations keep a lot of hazing out of the schools which gives them bad reps.

leighabc123 I was very young and naive when I first saw this movie. I was a young innocent kid who never even thought about going to college. But I bought this movie on DVD, 17 years after it originally came out. After I completed 5 1/2 years of college at a non HBCU, I understand it better. Once again, Laurence Fishburne was type-casted in this movie. He always plays the guy that knows it all. Spike Lee once again put himself in one of his movies. Most of the Different World cast was in this movie. Tisha Campbell was a very old 18 year old girl in this movie. Tisha's character was a gullible fool in this movie. She licked the guy's head! She also cried over that fool after she was dumped for sleeping with Spike Lee! Jasmine Guy looked as good then as she does today! This movie proves how ignorant men who pledge to fraternities really are. Take the blinders off your eyes! Hazing really occurs in college like the hazing these guys experienced in this movie! It is just not reported. I was amazed to see Tyra Ferrell as a jigaboo instead of a wannabe. If you want to see a great Spike Lee movie, keep looking. But if you want to see a good Spike Lee movie, watch School Daze.
