Worth it
It's amazing that a movie like "Alpha House" could be made in today's times: It is sophomoric, sexist and utterly ridiculous. Therefore, it brings joy to my heart.It's sort of refreshing to realize that the same folks who brought you "Sharknado" can venture into straight-to-DVD land with politically-incorrect tripe like this. There's more nudity here than I've seen in movie in a long time, and I watch a LOT of this kind of trash. There are roughly 15 female cast members and every single one of them gets naked at least once, with the exception of one: the top supporting actress. I called that one as soon as I saw it, because she's the least-attractive, so they gave her a more nuanced, romantic role with no nudity—although even she is seen in her underwear more than once.Female lead Heather Paige Cohn is jaw-dropping gorgeous. Seriously, one of the best-looking women I've ever seen. I was concerned that since she is in fact so hot that she might feel above getting naked for the camera, but nay: She in fact has two nude scenes, and they are the best if not the most gratuitous in the whole film.And trust me, there is a lot of gratuitousness here. Unlike just about any other B movie that I've seen, this one has a very high number of tight closeups of naked breasts, usually jiggling, sometimes in slow motion. Impressive indeed. There was zero flinching about the nudity on the director's part and again, it kind of stuns me that a film like this could be made successfully in 2014—at least without borrowing heavily from the ranks of the porn industry.One quibble that I have is that while we see a metric ton of nudity, all of it is only breasts. And I mean ONLY breasts. Not even any rear nudity (and even just a handful of g-string shots--no pun intended). I don't understand that and consider it a monumental failing of the filmmakers. One good full frontal and a couple of rear shots and this easily is five stars.There even are a couple of nice extras on the DVD which is very rare for this kind of film."Alpha House" is a lot of fun for a red-blooded American male audience. Yes, the acting is terrible (Although Cohn surprises as perhaps the best in the cast—best looking and best acting? What a dual threat!). Yes, more than three-quarters of the jokes are unfunny and even painful. But the huge list of gorgeous naked women and the occasional funny setup make it worth viewing if you're of a certain mindset.

Drive-in caliber movie
Along the line of Animal House, but not as well done. Basic plot line is a group of freshmen pledge Alpha House just as the school administration announces that due to political correctness, the fraternity will merge with a houseless sorority and go co-ed. (The real reason is an administrator just wants to close down the fraternity, and feels that this will be an acceptable way of doing it.) The fraternity brothers move out, leaving the house to the pledges and the girls, with the proviso that whenever anyone living in the house is caught indulging in behavior that is not deemed politically correct, they must move out. The pledges and girls then engage in guerilla warfare in an attempt to eliminate as many of the other group as possible and gain control of the house. The DVD jacket describes this as a new "classic". Actually, it's just a weak plot line, the main purpose of which is to show as many girls topless as possible. It gets 3 stars only because a couple of the girls are quite good looking.

Worthy of Your Collection
Well Above Average....."college" sex-romp with at worst an "R" rating. Clever writing, and very enjoyable cast with both personality and down right great casting, makes this worth owning......yup I said owning. Most of this genre of movie is a see it once; twice ONLY if forced. This one I would gladly rewatch. And set up friends with a copy to enjoy.....Rock On!

Boobies galore and worth it.
It would be five stars - but for the language. Boobies galore and well worth it. Storyline ... iffy premise but acceptable. Plot development reasonable but weak. Lots of eye-candy makes it worth the purchase, though.

Lots of topless nudity. In the beginning of the movie it is a quick flash. Also in the movie a couple women have fake breasts but the real ones make the movie enjoyable.

It has been a while since I watched it. But it has some attractive women and a fair amount of T&A.
