Dead Man on Campus is 'good for a laugh.' As in ONE laugh.

An education in cheap, easy laughs.

A dark comedy caught in a white-light washout, it's neither mean enough to be funny, nor funny enough to mean much.

This limp 1998 comedy tries hard to be both irreverent and ethical by suggesting that deceit motivated by self-interest is OK as long as no one gets hurt.

Some of the endless drug-sex-rock-’n’-roll gags are cute, but most are so paper-thin they disintegrate on contact with fresh air.

Just as dead as its title.

Maybe it was my low expectations, but I actually think that people will not appreciate how much suckage was avoided in the making of this film.

Dead Man on Campus, as you may have already wagered, is the kind of movie that's no good.

What could have been fresh and fun turns out to be a festival of cheap sight gags and lost plots, but if only for the halfway-decent first half hour and Zack not completely shaming himself, this film gets three stars.

As a satire of new-style collegiate types, this MTV production actually evinces a few germs of rancid wit. If only the laborious high-concept plot had been deep-sixed -- and, along with it, the cynically blah heroes.

Dead Man will remind any college grad of the fun and freedom of freshman year, and the wide variety of personalities met there.

Have you seen the one about the college kids who try to get their roommate to kill himself so they can get straight As? Oh, you have?

If you have a roommate you really want to see suffer, here's a suggestion: Buy him or her a ticket to Dead Man on Campus.
