Movie Reviews of Greek - Chapter One

Movie Review: Interesting Peak Into College Life
Summary: 3 Stars

I didn't want to like this series but I found myself engrossed by the characters, especially Rusty. The series is an interesting peak into college life in general and Greek life especially -- both the good and the bad, but mostly the good. The reason why I couldn't give this DVD set more than three stars is because of the profanity (mild as it is), the promiscuity, and the binge drinking. Oh, and then there's the sorority president prostituting one of her sisters to keep one of the popular guys in the most popular fraternity attached to their sorority. Then that same sister dresses her sorority up like tramps to keep another fraternity from winning a floor hockey game. This is not something that belongs on a so-called family network. If you 16 or older you'll enjoy this series; if you're younger than that your parents should be blocking it.

Summary of Greek - Chapter One

Take an unforgettable journey with the students of Cyprus-Rhodes University as they navigate the social minefield of college life in the hilarious ABC Family original series GREEK. Join Casey a sorority social climber as she vies for president of Zeta Beta Zeta. Her world gets more complicated when her nerdy little brother Rusty arrives on campus and risks her reputation by joining a fraternity and trying to go from geek to Greek. On top of it all she finds herself in the middle of a love triangle between her slouchy ex-boyfriend Cappie and Evan the handsome president of the top fraternity on campus. Pledge with the hippest young cast on TV. Experience every moment of GREEK: CHAPTER ONE complete with chart-topping music and never-before-seen bonus features in a three-disc box set. Get initiated into an entertaining world full of characters and relationships that you won't want to miss.System Requirements:Running Time: 445 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: TV-14 UPC: 786936755220 Manufacturer No: 05644600
Between the mild profanities, underage drinking, and promiscuous sex, Greek is definitely not your older sibling's Saved by the Bell: The College Years (You've come a long way, ABC Family!). This instantly addictive series may not be, as its creators intended, "the definitive fun college show," but it gets high marks for its appealing cast, smart writing, and reasonably clear-eyed portrayal of fraternity and sorority life. Jacob Zachar stars as Rusty Cartwright, an incoming freshman at Cyprus Rhodes University. He is a geeky science major and socially awkward (his first taste of tequila earns him the nickname "Spitter"). But he is eager to join a fraternity and "have a real college experience." The soapsuds froth early. His sister, Casey (Spencer Grammer, Kelsey's daughter) is campus royalty, a junior with a wealthy and well-connected boyfriend, Evan (Jake McDorman). She is also "heir to the throne" of her "best of the best" sorority house. So embarrassed is she by Rusty, she has never told anyone she had a brother. "You have your world, and I have mine," she dismisses him early on. But her world is rocked after Rusty accidentally catches Evan about to cheat on Casey with Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria), a senator's daughter and highly prized pledge who Casey has been charged to bring in to the sorority at all costs.

Greek is not just kids behaving badly. What moves this series to the head of the class is that its characters struggle with doing the right thing, and as Casey tells Rusty, "sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing," adding, "It's shades of grey from here on out." Greek creates compelling moral dilemmas and should spark worthwhile family discussions. Should Rusty tell his sister about Evan and ruin his chance to join Evan's elite fraternity? Should Casey break up with Evan and risk her social standing? Greek is all about acceptance and how friends can become like an extended family. Rusty finds his at a rowdy Animal House-like frat headed by Cappie (Scott Foster), Casey's less reputable former boyfriend. Though Rusty may be lame, he proclaims, "he'd be fun to corrupt and bring to the dark side." How Rusty wrestles with his ideals and reconnects with Casey is at the heart of this auspicious season. Greek does traffic in stereotypes, but most of the characters emerge as fully dimensional, including Evan, less of a jerk and more soulful than one would expect, and Dale (Clark Duke), Rusty's "fundamentalist hick" roommate, who becomes less of an easy punch line as the season progresses. For a show that at one point gives a shout-out to Gilmore Girls, Greek's own pop-culture references (from The Matrix and Monty Python to Grey's Anatomy) are spot-on. Beyond that, the character-based writing is well observed. After a first date, a euphoric Rusty calls it the best night of life, adding, "Even better than the time they announced Pluto wasn't a planet. I hated Pluto." With one year under its belt, you'll want to pledge yourself to Greek. --Donald Liebenson
