Das bucklige Schlitzohr

Big Man on Campus is a forgettable but pleasant little retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's pleasant because it's witty and silly and no one could get mad at Bob Maloogaloogaloogalooga (How many "loogas" are there supposed to be, anyway?). It's forgettable because other than some of the goofy stuff that the hunchperson says, there's not a single situation or person that really sticks to your memory.

BMOC was recommended to me by a good friend some ten years ago. She thought it was hilarious, and it is for someone in the mood for, well, this movie. The weakness in the movie is that it fairly reeks of B-movie, bottom of the bill, late-night-on-Cinemax-before-the-porn-lite starts.

Oh, well. If you find it and you have 90+ minutes to blow, why not. Just remember that when you get hungry and you order out for fried chicken, get the Two-Face meal.

This is one of those films that's so stupid, it's funny. It's a little slow going at first, but once you get into it, you realize that Allan Katz is a master at subtle physical schtick. His character is at once endearing and funny. This is the sort of film where you'll come away reciting lines for years to come. Unfortunately, almost no one else will know what you're talking about, because hardly anyone has seen this film. But that's okay, you can just keep it as a little joke for yourself, and the few others out who know.

It might seem a pat campus movie, but there's a lot more here. Allen Katz is more and more interesting as you concentrate on him. The gags and jokes are really funny, and catch you by their Understatement. It has become one of our ravenous movie watcher household's "watch again" classics, a fate which few films enjoy..We have one 35 yr old filmwriter and fanatic, one theater/film educated person of the next [old] generation, and one newby with discrimination. Hope you try it!

i found this movie to be a slapstick comedy that surpassed all my expectations.

i would recommend this film to anyone who loves to watch a movie

just so they can laugh.

when my good woman first told me about this movie,i thought no not for me.

It didn't help that while trying to tell me about the film,she constantly laughed,so i didn't really find out anything of substance of the storyline.

i eventually sat down and watched the film and laughed from start to finish.

the storyline isn't important,as this film is just a good movie to make you laugh:)

....but definitely belongs on Comedy Central's "Mastercheese Theater", which is where I always seem to catch this movie every time it's on. :-)

I think the movie is cute, although I don't know if it deserves the star rating it had when I looked up this movie. Bob is funny, I will give him credit for. I think Cory Parker was trying a little too hard to be Woody Allen with a lot of his lines in this film. It could have been better, but it is a good time killer.
