John Goodman has a nice turn as a queen with a heart of gold.

Joshua Katzman, Chicago Reader
Rotten

...goes way over the top for the Greeks vs. Gays climax.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

A campus comedy with a dirty mouth, an innocent heart and a surprisingly wise mind, Freshman Orientation uses identity politics as a road to romance and emotional maturity. The naked breasts are a bonus.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten

This trivial film toys with the postmodern lifestyles.

Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

Freshman Orientation is not incompetently made. Nor is it badly acted. But there's not a fresh idea in it, and everyone on screen seems to be in a different comedy.

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
