Leave your thoughts about Dead Man on Campus.
| MovieholeClint MorrisOne of the best comedies of the 90's! Once is never enough! |
| VarietyJoe LeydonAlthough it falls far short of fulfilling its full potential as a dark comedy of desperation, Dead Man on Campus is a modestly amusing trifle that merits a passing grade as lightweight entertainment. |
| TV Guide MagazineSandra ContrerasThe story's not much, but this dark comedy contains moments of unexpected wit. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughA moribund stinker that has been moldering in a studio morgue drawer for some time. |
| The New York TimesAnita GatesA predictably dumb movie made for very young audiences, playing to youth's love of excess and loaded with masturbation jokes. |
| CNN.comPaul TataraDead Man on Campus, as you may have already wagered, is the kind of movie that's no good. |
| Cincinnati EnquirerMargaret A. McGurkSome of the endless drug-sex-rock-'n'-roll gags are cute, but most are so paper-thin they disintegrate on contact with fresh air. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThis is a dull re-iteration of the odd-couple theme and makes no cohesive attempt at storytelling. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanThe bad news is that the opening credits, which make sick and darkly comic allusions to suicide, are the best thing about the film. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThis 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. |
