Dorm Daze 2

This is starting to be a film that I see when flipping thru the channels (and darn if Fios has a lot) late night to see if anything good is on to watch. It is relatively painless on that level, though it is hard to imagine too many will find it worthwhile to watch the whole thing. It is one of those films, however, you can mindlessly watch parts of, especially if you aren't desiring to think much. Drinking or being half asleep will help here or something along those lines.

The film is very frenetic -- it aims, especially during the extended play performance climax -- for slapstick style farce. I think it deserves a bit of love for at times managing to do this 1/2 well. It's not really that easy to do, especially with such a large cast.

Take the scene where two characters are trying to get into mood for sex. While this is happening, other things occur, and it all comes together when one of the boob characters accidentally falls over the ledge (because of some other plot development), down to his butt ramming against the cabin window. A crowd of people come in while this occurs. Basically, I'm saying, it requires some degree of plotting the situations to put this all together. It isn't that funny, mind you, but I respected the skill of it all.

Who expects much from a sequel to a film of this nature anyway? So, not much of a positive rating, but I do respect the effort. I think some of these people, including the creators of the film, might have enough talent that in another context, they could make a superior product.

Before I tell you what I think of this movie, I just need to tell you a few things. I'm 26 years old, big fan of all sorts of movies, no matter if they adrenaline pumping action flicks, deep emotional love dramas, intelligent satire or plain silly dumbness, as long as I get anything out of a movie, I'm satisfied.

About Dorm Daze 2 then, I saw Dorm Daze a couple years ago and I recall enjoying it. Nor more or less than any regular teen movie, but it had the whole door slamming Shakespeare thing going on which was really nice to see nicely incorporated into the American Pie format. This movie, however, tries to be as intriguing as the other one with a huge cast of people you never really get to understand who, why or what they are. The movie is a mess, but you can follow it if you really try (dispite all the errors in the plot). My main concern about this movie though, is that its not funny (and I'm a guy who found Benchwarmers hilarious for its plain and simple stupidity). There wasn't one single moment in this movie that I found funny, and I'd say I know funny when I see it, all categories. They were really trying for laughs but failed miserably. The plot work is much better then the comedy of it, but unfortunately that doesn't say much about the plot either.

Therefor, I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. Its not funny, and if you're into those plot things you better go with the first Dorm Daze instead, and stay away from this one.

If someone is renting this movie for any other reason than seeing Vida Guerra's very developed assets (especially the bottom half) then I think they have already missed the point of this movie.

Vida is stunning as always. The internet's most down-loadable woman and her beautifully developed apple bottom star in this guilty pleasure of a movie. The feauturette of Vida in the extras on the DVD are worth the purchase price of this DVD alone. I'm a huge Vida fan, and a fan of the curvy instead of stick female that Hollywood has been throwing at us the past few decades, so finally getting the sexiest, most curvy woman possible brings a tear to my eye.

This film is only mildly funny, there are lots of situations that could have made it funny but I think its the lack of comical timing of the actors and scenes that for me missed the punch, you always see the joke coming. The story is unoriginal but this was not a film made for its originality. The film does have a few funny moments and lots of nudity and things alike, like drugs and parties but they all seem a bit dull and slow. The film falls way short of movies such as "American Pie" & "Road Trip" even though more "naughty" stuff happens in this film and is more explicit, those films know how to use these elements for suspense and laughter this film just throws all them in an hopes it works.

So, as of writing this review, I'm 28 years old, this movie was released when I was 11, and I saw it by accident when I was 16. I think that's relevant. Watching this movie is far from watching a political blockbuster like Dr. Strangelove or a visual masterpiece like Blade Runner, but when it comes to movies you can just lay back and chill to, or watch with friends who just wants something to look at, this has several times in my life been a go-to for some reason. It's an absurd mix of premature sexual jokes and a wholly cliché storyline, while still having actors trying to do their best with a script that's... questionable. To simplify it as much as possible, it's the game of Clue (like the Savannah episode of The Office) meets horny college student. In terms of cinematic value, it's one of the lowest hanging fruits you can image, but somehow the actors executes the questionable script flawlessly. Whenever I want to lay back and relax without thinking about... well... anything, this movie is in my top 10, and I feel like it's a guilty pleasure of mine.
