JÄnis Locis This movie has not received the respect and attention it deserves, for unknown reasons. In my opinion, "Dead Man On Campus" is an awesome college comedy. People just tend to take it too seriously and don't judge it objectively.The premise might sound harsh and stupid for some, that of course is making your room mate commit suicide we are talking about here, but it is played in a very comical way and the movie has mostly mild humour and all of that gives this movie an awesome, relaxed vibe.You know what you are going to get, when you watch a film like this, and at least for me it provided what i expected, i felt entertained and that is exactly what this film is about.

vze3vhtf After having to endure the incessantly clean-cut wise ass character of Mark-Paul Gosselar in Saved By the Bell all those years, I really did not expect to see anything different in this movie, or to like it it all.But in truth, DMoC is funny.The script is clever, and the cast, including-yes-Gosselar, really clicks together. I really don't understand why it did not do better when it was first released in 1998.A great movie? No.but good enough to be a guilty pleasure? Yes.M

Rooster99 This film had some funny lines in it, but for the most part is one of those films you won't remember any of the lines from the next day, and a month later will have you wondering if you saw it or not at the video store. Some of the funny scenes were likely unintentional, such as having a bunch of actors nearing 30 playing 18 year olds. One of them even gets carded at a bar and pulls out a long succession of fake ID yet it is obvious he is over 21. Probably the funniest scenes involved the crazy roommate, such as when he pulls out a gun and starts shooting at the police during a high speed chase, "They hate it when you do this". But other than that, it was a good idea wasted on a boring script.It has it's moments, so it is a good time waster. But it is no where near as funny as other College movies such as Animal House. The jokes often seem tired and overdone, there was very little unexpected humour. Many of the lines are telegraphed from a mile away. Ho hum, not really a bad movie, just not a memorable one.R.

millamarbles I rented this with my friend one night, some years ago, I still consider it the best comedy I've seen in my entire life. We were literally in pain all through out the film, we laughed so hard that for most of the movie we were on the floor holding our stomachs! Then we watched it again right after and then the next day and laughed as hard as the first time. I remember Mark-Paul Gosselaar from Saved By The Bell, I had no idea he could be this funny. The cast is diverse and completely wild, especially the possibly-suicidal-roommate candidates that the two main characters are trying to lure to stay with them. Corey Page (from Heartbreak High) is completely phenomenal as the over-the-top angsty, brooding goth-rocker Matt and Lochlyn Munro (Charmed) is just too much as the crazy frat guy Cliff, these two guys gave us the best laughs. Also I liked the relationship between the main characters, played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tom Everett Scott. It's that kind of "lets go do something stupid together" kind of thing and you can also see they really care about each other. As a hilarious comedy, the movie also has a little depth to it towards the end, which i really liked.Also for Buffy fans there is Alyson Hannigan who is a great comedic actor as you can see from the American Pie-movies and of course from Buffy.If you like the Pauly Shore-type of humor, and crazy ideas and general crazyness, you should love this film. There wasn't a moment during, that I wasn't completely thrilled to be watching it. I give it 10+!
