....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.

This film has some funny and touching moments, but it's only sporadically truly inspired. Allan Katz gives a very good performance as the title character, and it's a role that must have been more difficult and demanding that it appears at first. However, as others have said, Corey Parker's sub-Woody Allen puns are self-conscious and annoying. An OK film to watch, but the story just seems to go on and on and on...long after you're ready for it to end. (**)
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!
An affable cast almost makes this college-set retelling of Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" worth watching. Writer and star Allan Katz plays the hunchback, "Bob," who's been hiding at a California university for years, and when he's discovered, the psychology department has one month to prove he's not dangerous or else he'll get locked up. Tom Skerritt and Cindy Williams are probably the biggest names in the film as two of the professors who try to rehabilitate Bob, along with rival professor Jessica Harper, who's convinced Bob is a danger, but the main characters are a boyfriend and girlfriend who befriend Bob. The most fascinating bit of casting is Melora Hardin as the girlfriend and object of Bob's affection, who is best known for playing Jan on THE OFFICE. She's quite likable, and it's fascinating to see Jan as a young 80s Brat Packer of sorts. Corey Parker plays the boyfriend, and the entire cast is likable, but the script is not funny, which makes it kind of a chore to watch. Originally planned as a theatrical release, I now understand why the studio chose to make it a direct-to-video release instead.

i can't believe you didn't get a laugh a minute out of this film. we, my friends and family found, it hilarious,we have all watched it several times. it's laugh out loud, belly clutching, plain funny. we quote lines from it to everyone and the circle of fans is getting bigger. we love it 100 out 10 if at all possible!!!! long live the hairball.....you must judge for yourselves, try it and listen out for bob's sex aids, watch him roll off the coach,when he wants to eat chocolate and for future reference it's bob alga-looga-looga-looga-looga.bob alga and 4 looga's.watch the film,and listen to that script.we are all surprised it wasn't more famous all those people missing out on those laughs written and loved by madeline tansey
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:)

this film is full of catchy/witty humor, and is a joy to watch. b.m.o.c. may not be for everyone because some people just can`t relate to a hunchback that has lived in a room that overlooks a college campus for most of his life. but if you give this movie a chance you will like it!
to be honest their really isn`t much to say about this film except that it`s about a hunchback that falls for a college co-ed and has some funny mis-adventures throughout the movie. it`s not a film that could win academy awards but it is a film that will win your heart, it`s one of those "feel good" movies that will end up having some kind of cult following for many years to come. rating (best of 5 stars) .....3.....

Absolutely hilarious film, written by Alan Katz who plays Bob Malooga Loogaloogaloogalooga. 1 Malooga, 4 Looga's.
I first saw this film many years ago when it was on TV and many times since and it's funny every time. Have tried to get it on Blue-Ray, DVD or even download but as a previous reviewer has said all original copies have been destroyed in a fire and might not ever be released, but for anyone out there who wants to see this film it's on YouTube, and that's good enough for me.
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.
If you want to delve into a cult classic and be enlightened then you need to watch this. Probably the best cult classic buried so deep you would never find it if you weren't forced to watch it by a good friend. You will have to watch it with your best friend and re-watch it 20 times while usually drinking too much beer and then have it on while drinking beer for the next 12 years. After that 12 year span you will not regret putting it in your top 5 all cult classics.

This is one of the greatest films I remember from my childhood. I haven't been able to track down a copy in the UK, but still I search. Its a film which you can do impressions of with your friends for years to come. Its definatly worth seeing. Its humor is slightly repetative with the same jokes used a few times, but still, it works. Definately see this movie. It wasnt made to win any Oscars, but it does its trick to give you a laugh with your friends and make you feel good for a few hours :)

Comedy Central [cable channel] played this several times one year, and everytime i saw it i liked it MORE.... took me awhile to finally aquire it, but i got it now [VHS only]. The story and the charactors flow well and pretty soon you like the hunchback so much your tempted to name your first born "Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga "..... well... maybe not THAT much.
Big Man On Campus is one of the funniest movies ever made in the 80's. I remember when I first saw it along with my family in 1992 that I loved it. Now when I talked with a couple of my friends at school about it, they've seen it too. Now, after years of not watching it and going crazy, I finally got a chance to watch it again with my church youth. Some thought it was funny while others thought that it was crude, and I have to agree on some parts especially when Tom Skerrit talks about Cathy being Bob's way of masturbating or something like that. Plus, my church youth and I will never (at least me and a couple of others) forget the part when Bob was naming body parts to Diane Gerard and asked what part was his private and she said "oh, boy." Well, Bob thought "Oh, boy," was the name and started saying "oh, boy," over. That was so hilarious. If you haven't seen this movie, then you don't know what you are missing.
This movie was awesome , never got the credit it deserved . It is as quotable as Airplane . If anyone can ever find and get me a good quality DVD of this movie i will be forever grateful and i will pay for it of course .

Big Man on campus is a clever, witty movie that will definitely make you laugh! Although it's base is humor it also has a touching side and an important message. You grow to love Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga and I found myself keeping my fingers crossed for him! It is a movie for everyone and I recommend it. Also Alan Katz is fabulous!
This is possibly one of the funniest movies ever! But one that absolutely nobody has heard of. I stumbled across it when it was first released and my local video store had a promotional copy in. That was it - hooked!
You've just got to watch it to check out the look on Bob's face when he's been goaded into eating all of the chocolate cake.
A classic !

Love this film! I was only 1 when it came out but we have it on video and me and my mum think it is one of the funniest films I have ever seen! nobody else who we have show it to likes it though! my favourite parts are: 'you can have any piece of chicken you like, a leg, wing?' '2 faces!'/ (singing)'Caaathy Malooga, Malooga Caaaaathy' at the top of his tower/when he stuffed his face with chocolate cake and it all gets stuck in his beard/when he is in the Psychiatrists sat on the bed thing and he can't lay backwards because of his hump and he just rolls off onto the floor!/camoola the rat 'mooka camoola'/ :oD i could go on forever! Classic Film!

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.

I saw this movie with my kids in 1990 while we were vacationing. I think it was on HBO. ll of us really enjoyed the film. I was able to acquire a VHS copy a couple of years later and in fact, I haven't run across a person that I have shown it to that didn't like it. It really works well on the small screen. The stars do a very credible job. Of course Alan Katz is really fantastic as Bob Malooga Looga Looga Looga Looga. but I would really like to see Lions Gate release it on DVD. Lions Gate owns all of Vestrons film library apparently. I've sent an email I urge others who liked the film to do so as well. Their email address is general-inquiries@lgf.com

We have been searching for this movie on DVD for a few years and were very excited to actually find it. This is a classic! All the one-liners and slapstick comedy leave you wanting more. We first saw this movie in the late 80's and even recorded it on VHS. Unfortunately,the VHS tape stopped working. It was always a go to movie when there was nothing else to watch. We'd haul out the VCR and hook it up just so we could watch it. We still quote different lines from this movie today and I am sure being able to watch it again will just renew the fun of that. Ranking it right up there with Scavenger Hunt.(another hard to find movie)One of our favorites!!!
I have been bumping into this movie late nite for awhile now and it's grown on me. Bob is a really winning character, and probably deserves his own teevee show.
I give this movie One Malooga and Four Loogas!

If you suspend a little disbelief and know a little bit about campus politics at the Universty of
" Just About Everywhere " you'll enjoy this feature. And anyone who likes Cindy Williams and Tom Skerritt will be glad to see them in top form 32 years ago!
