    "HOLD WHAT WHERE?"

    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.....

    Funnier and better that it might first seem, we think.

    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!

    Cute Movie....

    ....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.

    great movie

    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:)

    Big Man On Campus is one of the funniest movies ever made in the 80's

    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.

      Dr. Webster: Well, I think the first thing we can do is get a name for you, and I think you should pick it. Now, can you think of a name that you'd like to be your name? What?

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Judy Finkel.

      Dr. Webster: Well, Judy Finkel is a nice name...

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Thank you.

      Dr. Webster: ...but it's a woman's name.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Okay.

      Dr. Webster: Well, it's not exactly okay. You should have a man's name. Now I want you to think of a man's name, a name that you think suits you.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: William F. Buckley.

      Dr. Webster: I believe there is a William F. Buckley.

      Dr. Webster: Alright. Why don't I just call you Bob?

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Don't know.
