Drôle de campus

I saw this film and enjoyed it immensely, It's National Lampoon in all of it's glory, funny, entertaining and money well spent. Patrick Renna aka Styles is one funny dude I was laughing so hard I could hardly see the screen at times, constantly wiping the tears from my eyes. I'm not much of a writer so I'm going to keep this short. If you want a good laugh, Go see this movie, it's hilarious, very cleverly done and a National Lampoon Hit, this movie takes the cake.

This is the first movie I have ever went to that I seriously considered walking out of. I had high expectations from this film. A group of college kids in a dorm by National Lampoon. I'm thinking Animal House and Van Wilder. Turns out it should be in the dog house. The movie is just not funny. The directors tried to throw in some gratuitous nudity to spice up the movie, but all it did was make you have a sense of pity. It was like the only reason to see this movie was the 3 combined seconds of nudity. While the idea behind the movie had potential, I would rather go to the dentist than sit through this again.

I watched this on Netflix's online service, initially as a time-killer. I had expected to turn it off after 10 minutes. Thankfully, I didn't.

It turned out to be a fast-paced comedy of errors even more complex than What's Up Doc?. Let's see... There's two gossipy girls who keep getting everything wrong, mis-delivered love letters, a hooker mistaken for an exchange student (and vice-versa), two identical handbags, one of which contains a big wad of cash and a planned armored car robbery.

With all that happening, yeah, it's hard to follow all the plot convolutions, but that's what makes it funny initially and eventually hilarious.

The young cast performs energetically, which is all this kind of movie really requires.

Not highly recommended, but a pleasant way to kill an hour and a half.

I thought Dorm Daze was great fun. I recommend it highly. This is a National Lampoon gem. All their movies should be so good. David and Scott Hillenbrand have a knack for this genre of film. Get a bunch of your friends together and laugh your asses off!

I have watched a fair few 'National Lampoon' movies in my time and the one thing that is guaranteed is that there are no guarantees. Some are hilarious, others make you wonder who looked at the script and thought 'let's make this movie.' The plot, such as it is, is far better suited to a sketch show. There are some funny moments, but the whole thing is essentially one long joke. This is why it would be far better on the small screen; stretching a joke for 10 to 20 minutes is hard, 90 minutes is impossible. The performances from the cast, all of whom have very little to actually do, are all OK. But to be fair to them, no one is going to shine with such poor material. See this film if you have nothing to do one afternoon and you can see it for free, as it is mildly entertaining. If you actually buy it on DVD you will be sorely disappointed as it has very little re-watch potential.
