Product Description:

Well, it's a good idea. Dead Man on Campus had the potential to be a classic dark comedy: Two students at a prestigious university are flunking out; however, due to a provision in the school's charter, if they had a roommate who committed suicide, they'd both get straight A's as a form of reparation for grief and trauma. So, to stay in school, they seek out the most depressed student on campus and transfer him into their three-person dorm room. Unfortunately, rather than satirizing the real issues--academic narrow-mindedness, parental pressure, the obsessiveness of late adolescence--the movie is a compilation of frat-boy clichés and jokes that want to be in bad taste but are actually quite tame. The leads (Tom Everett Scott and Mark-Paul Gosselaar) are pleasant and the soundtrack (produced by the Dust Brothers) has some very hip selections, but after a snappy opening-credit sequence, the movie stumbles along, aimless and sluggish. Alyson Hannigan (American Pie, Willow on TV's Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has a small role and is her charming geeky self. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Love this movie...........
Hilarious movie that never got the publicity that it deserves!
Dead Man on Campus stars Tom Everett Scott (American Werewolf), Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Saved by the Bell), Poppy Montgomery (Criminal Minds)!
Very funny, you won't be disappointed in this one!
Love it!
Rating: - Excellent!
I personally really like this movie! I think it is some of Mark-Paul Gosselaar's best work! Super funny movie! "To die for!"
Rating:  - Some people eat bugs. Ughhh!
At a point in my high school life not too long ago, I decided to basically watch every high school/college movie I had not yet seen in hopes to find a few I could enjoy to go alongside classics like ANIMAL HOUSE and the closest we have come recently to that film, AMERICAN PIE, ROAD TRIP, and OLD SCHOOL (though none can compare, obviously). Anyway, DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS was an intriguing film, as when I watched it I laughed out loud a few times, chuckled and smiled a lot, and then returned it to its Blockbuster rental home. Soon after, the more I thought about it, the more I was surprised I really enjoyed it. It became a movie I didn't want to spend the money on to buy, but I wanted it as a gift. Finally this Christmas I got it, and upon watching it again, still enjoy it. Yes, it is often (okay, constantly) stupid humor, but the concept is so funny that you would REALLY have to try to mess this up to make it not work. The film also creates 2 likable characters, something teen movies have a hard time doing a lot of times.
Anyway, the story concerns Josh (Tom Everett Scott), a 'got all As in high school' kind of guy with a 6-year med school plan at the prestigious Daleman university. Then he meets his new roommate Cooper (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, of SAVED BY THE BELL fame and with black hair, most likely to mock his blond hair from the show), a slacker stoner who is there merely because his dad owns one of the top toilet cleaning companies. Cooper and Josh strike up a friendship, however, as Cooper ... Read More
Rating:  - Funny Film !
The first time I seen this film I could not stop laughing it's a great film with great characters and a great story line. It is the character of Cliff which makes this film so good really this film is totally underrated and should have been much more popular than it was however it is good to own on DVD.
Rating: - Dead On!
I looked everywhere for this movie! Wal Mart, Circuit City, KMart, Target, FYE, EB Games and a few other places. My husband loves it!
