Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Raul Faust Movies involving campus and university are usually made for teenagers or young adults, since the thematic is basically parties, drugs and sex. However, "Dead Man on Campus", although using some of those elements, it has a different main plot. The idiosyncrasy of each character is showed all the time, delivering nice situations that happen due to the diversity of opinions that they have. Josh is a real student, whilst Cooper is a party guy who doesn't care about studying and getting prepared to the future. The acting as a whole is great, with highlights to Lochlyn Munro, who portrayed a extremely funny character. I couldn't stop laughing when he came in the scene, specially with all those unexpected screaming. The exception of great acting happens with Mark- Paul Gosselaar, whose job seemed to do a little... overacting. In the conversations scenes in the room, he seemed too conversationalist and gesticulatory for a normal dude. Also, it's interesting to notice that, albeit American society wasn't that liberal in the nineties, they've displayed Josh and Cooper as almost a couple, and they weren't antagonized for it. "Dead Man on Campus" is one of the most adult films involving college that I've ever seen, and I believe that young audience won't find it that good as I did.

camachbr0 I was drawn to this film because Randy Pearlstein (Buckley) is a mentor of mine and Lochlyn Munro is the funniest actor on the planet. If you don't think so watch the first 20 minutes of Scary Movie, and Night at the Roxbury. This film lives on their performances alone. Josh and Cooper are freshman. Cooper didn't come to school to study and Josh, on a scholarship, can't make decisions for himself. Cooper gets Josh wasted, gets him laid, but gets him failing his classes. (Literally F,F,F,F,F) Cooper gets busted up by his dad who tells him he's going to be working in the mill, devoid of all sunlight, if he doesn't pick up his grades. Josh doesn't have Cooper's family money, so he needs the scholarship to stay in school. Solution, find an unstable roommate to move in, and make them kill themselves. This is like a SAW! It's fun to see Jason Segel, Linda Cardinelli, Alyson Hannigan look young, and play funny college students. However leading men Tom Scott, and Mark Gosselaar come off as really annoying and sometimes undistinguishable. It's UNBEARABLE when Josh repeats "my guy". Cooper is an unlikable bad influence. (Steve Stifler had some heart) There's nothing the film establishes about Cooper that's good for Josh. Josh's love interest could have been better developed. The patchy ending isn't to my liking either. It's definitely ALL dumb fun leading up to its silly, interesting premise and especially when they're testing suicide candidates. But when it's time to get down to it, the climax, the drama, there's really nothing to be taken serious. Lochlyn Munro needs a leading role as this character he played in the late 90s.

Rooster99 This film had some funny lines in it, but for the most part is one of those films you won't remember any of the lines from the next day, and a month later will have you wondering if you saw it or not at the video store. Some of the funny scenes were likely unintentional, such as having a bunch of actors nearing 30 playing 18 year olds. One of them even gets carded at a bar and pulls out a long succession of fake ID yet it is obvious he is over 21. Probably the funniest scenes involved the crazy roommate, such as when he pulls out a gun and starts shooting at the police during a high speed chase, "They hate it when you do this". But other than that, it was a good idea wasted on a boring script.It has it's moments, so it is a good time waster. But it is no where near as funny as other College movies such as Animal House. The jokes often seem tired and overdone, there was very little unexpected humour. Many of the lines are telegraphed from a mile away. Ho hum, not really a bad movie, just not a memorable one.R.

MongrelMob This film is one of the most underrated films i have ever seen. The film follows 2 roommates Coop and Josh and there plan to have a roommate kill himself so they can achieve straight A's. Although that storyline only comes in the second half of the film for the first half we just spend the time in college with the boys. The chemistry between the 2 leads is great and Mark Paul Gosselar sort of plays his role as Zack from SBTB for a more adult audience ( which i thought was genius), his charisma meant that I was never bored.why he never broke into the A list I don't know. but its all politics. It is one of the most quotable films i have ever seen,with so many great characters The comedy here is not for everyone but if you like films which don't take themselves seriously then this is for you. The soundtrack is also great and has Dust Brother as executive producers would you believe it (they did the soundtrack for fight club among others) The icing on the cake though is Cliff O Malley the insane party Animal who really should have got more screen time, he makes every scene he is in and I was just crying with laughter, he really is a match for Bluto. This film is great to watch with a bunch of mates I give it 9/10
