Line 1:
{{work}}{{Needs Image}}
A college comedy film that could be described as ''[[Animal House]]'' meets the clashing of right-wing and left-wing politics of [[The Nineties]], based on the [[PCU (novel)|novel of the same name]] written by [[Neal Stephenson]] ''very'' early in his career.
Tom is a pre-freshman having a visit to Port Chester University before he attends it properly. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as he manages to piss off half the campus, with his only safety between two groups, which themselves hate each other: The groups are Balls and Shaft, a right-wing fraternity that went underground after fraternities were banned from the school, and The Pit, a group that split off from Balls and Shaft and just wants to goof around (and to get around the ban, it doesn't call itself a fraternity).
Line 9:
Not to be confused with [https://pcu.org/ Pawtucket Credit Union].

* [[As Himself]]: [[George Clinton]] and the Parliament-Funkadelic
* [[Animal Wrongs Group]]: Flower and her crowd.
* [[Batman Gambit]]
** Later Droz pulls a Batman Gambit of his own, {{spoiler|anticipating he could get the student body to rally to him, thus getting the president fired for failing to handle the situation}}.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Nobody in this movie passes for college-aged. Jeremy Piven's character is at least said to be in his seventh year of college.
