The First Semester

About This Movie

The First Semester is a quirky comedy from Uwe Boll that blends college life with a dash of family intrigue. The story follows a young student who needs to navigate the pressures of academia while also trying to win over a girlfriend to secure his future fortune. It’s got a lighthearted tone, but the stakes feel tangible, especially with that scheming stepfather lurking in the background. The pacing sometimes hits those classic college movie beats, and while it doesn’t break new ground, it captures a certain atmosphere of youthful ambition and awkwardness. The performances, while not Oscar-worthy, have a charm that adds to its unique character. If you're into college comedies with a bit of a twist, this one fits the bill.
