Very well executed
Some things I liked some I did not.
Perfectly adorable
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
View MoreOne of several features commissioned for the cable "Rebel Highway" series--which asked interesting new directors/scenarists to liberally "remake" classic 1950s drive-in exploitation titles--this isn't a patch on Roger Corman's original 1957 "Sorority Girl." Like the latter, it portrays a seductive pathological liar and general mean girl who infiltrates a college sorority and quickly manages to wreak havoc with all the members, plus their boyfriends. It also echoes the original's poor-little-rich-girl theme in showing just how callous and shallow her mother is. But the B&W original is crude and lurid yet psychologically forceful (even shocking) in a way this slicker, more cynical, glibly p.c. update can't match. Part of it is that mores have changed so much since 1957, we can't possibly be shocked by the same content. But this "Confessions" is trite, sentimental, stereotypical and hyperbolic--not improving on its original in any way. It's semi-ironic cheese. The original movie's anti-heroine was a great troubled Z-noir figure; here she's just another sexy young "bad girl."

They rated this "R" and i expected to see an interesting movie about sorority girls.Unfortunately, it was just a boring story about the lose sister (Jamie Luner) trying to live up to her big sister's reputation. She uses all sorts of sneaky tricks, including blackmail, to beat the popular girl (Alyssa Milano) and impress her mother.Naturally, she is just a loser and will always be a loser, just as this picture is.
View MoreAfter about two years of searching, I have finally found a copy of "Confessions of a Sorority Girl" on video, and it was better than I thought it would be!!!The beautiful Jamie Luner was perfectly cast as Sabrina, the misunderstood new girl at school. The basic story is this...Sabrina (Jamie Luner) arrives at a new school, which her sister attended a few years before. Everyone expects Sabrina to live up to her sister's high standards, but Sabrina has other plans.She tries to steal Alyssa Milano's boyfriend (Brian Bloom) and goes to all lengths to embarrass the other girls, until she finally goes too far...It's a brilliant take on the Good Girl / Bad Girl theme and it is brilliantly done. Set in the fifties, it takes advantage of the fashion and music of that era.5 Stars!!!
View MoreA inspired storyline for one of the most original and entertaining sorority movies of the early 90's. Alyssa Milano as Rita is superb and is definitely one of the best young actresses of her generation.When the new girl at Sorority High starts causing trouble, you know that troublesome adventures will ensue. In short, this is a classic film which would only be more complete with the addition of Bella Emburg as a strict Swedish headmistress. 10/10 a Must see!!!
