This movie is so incredibly funny I was in tears the entire time and my sides ached for days. I admit it isn't the greatest movie ever made, but if you're basicly looking for something funny and not too deep this is your movie. Tom Everett Scott plays the strait man as well as ever. This movie is a must for college student with a pain in the ass roommate! Well, go on, run to your local theatre, what are you waiting for?!?

This movie is bad, I don't know why MTV make this movie. Remember "Joe's Apartment" That movie stinks. Beware this movie is more sicker then "Joe's Apartment" Why can't MTV keep on making good ones like "Beavis and Butthead Do America" That movie is one of MTV's great movies. At least that one got a better plot then this movie.

Killing some one at school is not funny. How would you liked it? If someone want to killed you. That is not pretty funny. Dead Man On Campus deserve a really really bad review from me.

Rating: * out of *****

First of all...I really liked this movie. I am sure some of you are saying..."what you got to be kidding", well, no I am not. This story is based upon an age old falsehood that states "if your college roommate kills them self in college, the surviving roommate gets a 4.0". Here you have Gosselaar (the old ZAK on `Saved by the Bell') partying like crazy in college and living with Scott, who is easily distracted by Gosselaar. Well the distractions take their toll and both Gosselaar and Scott are headed for collegiate non-return status, when they hear the 4.0 story. Now if you have been on a college campus as long as I have, you will come across a great deal of students who claim this is true and that it has happened to a friend of theirs at some college...well, you are mistaken..it never happened and never will. But that doesn't mean you can't make a movie out of it. If you like offensive jokes, off-the-wall humor and can handle laughing out loud (in public) at scenes that you should not be....then this movie is for you. Bottom line...if your roommate is depressed, then go ahead and take them to see this film, they will laugh so hard that they will forgot their worries (at least for a few moments.)

It was a very funny and entertaining movie. Don't wait to see it.

An ugly horrible movie that takes the subject of suicide and turn it into a joke. I didn't get the joke and I didn't get the film. There's a much better comedy about suicide, I know I saw the film "Harold and Maude," where Harold fakes suicides to freak out his mother. but this film is different. There's no laughs and most of all, there a rule wherefore a roomate kills himself, he will get straight A's. I don't know if any of the campus have that rule remains to be see, but this film isn't funny and it makes mockery of people who are trying to go to school and succeed. One more point: Why is this film released over the labor day period where the kids are going back to school? Does filmmakers ever cared about college kids? sometimes, but not this film.
