...Game approaches, Harvard students find themselves desperately seeking a place to lay down their heads after a drunken night of revelry to prepare for even drunker revelry to come on Game day. Young men and women turn to friends, family, or anyone really, in search of a place to stay, hoping they won’t find themselves turned out on the streets.

Five women file in behind him, the five most influential women in his life, ranging from his mother to a whore with whom he forms a relationship.

Beyond that, the casting (which includes eight men and only one woman, playing Kate) seems to play towards the gender themes as well. Bensussen may have been intrigued by Kate’s transformation rather...
