In the independent spirit of ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ and ‘Clerks’ comes ‘The Gallon Challenge,’ a film that could best be described as a cross between ‘Animal House’ and ‘Better off Dead.’
The movie stars Travis Carter, a college film major who dreams of achieving greatness by producing “Cobra Blood,” a blood-drenched, animated action film that pays tribute to Sylvester Stallone and Steven Seagal. However, when “Cobra Blood” is destroyed with only three weeks left in the year, Travis has no choice but to make a documentary of a milk drinking contest.
Helping Travis in his quest to put together this ‘Gallon Challenge,’ are his motley crew of friends: Steve Farley, the hard-partying frat boy who destroys Travis’s animated movie by downloading hard-core, barely legal porn and Adam Roberts, a relentlessly driven athlete who is inspired to create the milk drinking contest after losing a chicken nugget eating competition to a lactose intolerant opponent.
Joining them are Fletch, the inept womanizer whose insatiable appetite for sex inevitably leads to humiliation and disaster, John, the intellectual physics major who can only be described as a thinking man’s Stephen Hawking and his brother Walker, a disturbed young man addicted to pro wrestling and violence.
Adding further complications are Travis’s obsession for the beautiful and talented Shakespearean actress, Erin Williams and the repeated attacks by the sinister Beta Fraternity, led by their brutal leader, ‘The Knausser.’
For Travis and the rest of his friends, ‘The Gallon Challenge’ represents a last shot at love, redemption and ultimate glory before they end their collegiate careers and face entry into the real world.
