Dorm Daze (2003)

I just saw "Dorm Daze" and I have to say, all in all, it's worth seeing. If you go in expecting "Van Wilder" you may be disappointed. No, make that if you go in expecting "Van Wilder" you'll be pleasantly surprised, because it's nothing like that horrible horrible movie. It's probably isn't a movie for everybody. If you like Shakespeare's "A Comedy of Errors" or french farce and wacky sex comedy you'll like this movie. It's got a lot of great jokes. The whole "Susie" bit is hilarious. The movie is well cast, and the actors do a good job. Patrick Rena is great! Now, this movie is not without flaws either. The pacing at the beginning is a little weird. It's understandable with all of the different plots lines they're trying to set-up. Maybe it would have been better if they staggered the introductions a little more. The most glaring problem though, is the movie should have ended when "The End" appeared on screen. No question mark needed. But a question mark appears and there's more. A new character is introduced, a bad special effect happens, and the directors attempt to ruin the entire movie you just watched with one of the stupidest twists I have ever seen. And they almost succeed in doing so. My suggestion would be to shut off the movie at "The end," but what happens afterward is just so bad and out of sync with the rest of the movie it has to be seen to be believed. It's best just to pretend the movie ends when the Sherminator shuts the door, and remember the movie some what fondly. Not the best movie ever made, but still a pretty good rental.

Fmovies: I have watched a fair few 'National Lampoon' movies in my time and the one thing that is guaranteed is that there are no guarantees. Some are hilarious, others make you wonder who looked at the script and thought 'let's make this movie.' The plot, such as it is, is far better suited to a sketch show. There are some funny moments, but the whole thing is essentially one long joke. This is why it would be far better on the small screen; stretching a joke for 10 to 20 minutes is hard, 90 minutes is impossible. The performances from the cast, all of whom have very little to actually do, are all OK. But to be fair to them, no one is going to shine with such poor material. See this film if you have nothing to do one afternoon and you can see it for free, as it is mildly entertaining. If you actually buy it on DVD you will be sorely disappointed as it has very little re-watch potential.

This has to be one of the biggest misfires ever...the script was nice and could have ended a lot better.the actors should have played better and maybe then i would have given this movie a slightly better grade. maybe Hollywood should remake this movie with some little better actors and better director.sorry guys for disappointment but the movie is bad.

If i had to re-watch it it would be like torture. I don't want to spoil everyone's opinion with mine so..my advice is watch the movie first..see if u like it and after vote(do not vote before you watch it ! ) and by the way... Have fun watching it ! Don't just peek...watch it 'till the end :))))))))) !!

Dorm Daze fmovies. One may imagine prior to viewing a National Lampoon's film what to expect. Gross out humor, nudity, sexual misunderstandings, and so on. 'Dorm Daze' has all of this, and so much more. Written(By Minnesota natives Patrick Casey and Worm Miller)in the style of a Shakespearen Farce, the jokes of the movie are primarily set up by misunderstandings amoungst a cast of college freshman. It is the day before Christmas break at Billingsly University, and with the RA on vacation, some of the students decide to indulge themselves in some otherwise inappropriate personal endeavours. The Character Stiles(Patrick Renna), orders a prostitute for his virgin brother Booker(Chris Owens), while at the same time a new foreign exchange student with the same name is scheduled to show up. As one could imagine, misunderstandings lead to wackiness, and wackiness leads to ridiculous hilarity. Standout performances by Patrick Renna, Tony Denman, Danielle Fischelle, Tatiyana Ali, and Boti Bliss(as the prostitute), make this film well worth seeing time and time again.

Some other critics have not been as pleased by this cornacopia of laughs as this critic. Why you may ask? Because other critics are stupid, and they obviously don't understand the concept of a farce. If you as a viewer laughed at 'Animal House', 'American Pie', or 'Van Wilder', then 'Dorm Daze' is your movie, and in my opinion the best of its kind since possibly 'Animal House' (Which most critics didn't like at the time either, morons). In fact the only problems i had with the movie were some post production flaws that didn't fit with the rest of the comedic mood. An undernourished and weak soundtrack, and some 'Zach Morris' looks straight out of 'Saved by the Bell' were the few problems this critic had, although they took nothing away from the ingenious dialouge and hilarious performances that the film embodies. If you haven't seen 'Dorm Daze' yet, make sure to do it after having gone to the bathroom, to make sure you don't pee yourself when you laugh your ass off. Movies this funny are a few and far between.

jeez, when i heard this movie was a NATIONAL LAMPOONS i thought it was going to be awesome, but i really got a say it was a rather disappointment. I have seen the most movies they've made, from Christmas vacation to van wilder, and this movie is the worst movie in their name,, really bad actors and a to much intense movie. this movie is probably good to watch if you are watching it with a crowd of worked up people and the ability to laugh at it, but if you are into good comedy's like i am, i do not suggest this movie, i would much rather watch van wilder a second or third time, than to watch this movie... you have been warned.

National Lampoon's Dorm Daze is easily the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen the movie Kazaam. Anyone reading this who thinks this movie was good in any way, shape, or form has no idea what a good movie is, and should never watch another movie again because they are indeed so stupid.

Its hard to name everything wrong with this movie. First off, the plot is all over the place and can't follow all the multiple "misunderstandings" very well at all. The acting is awful to say the least, and the whole thing was poorly made. Any and all who worked on this movie should not be in another movie of any kid Ever Again!

It is too hard to sum up this movie in just a paragraph or two, because it is so bad, but for anyone out there reading this please DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!! If you want a good movie to watch, go turn on anything else on television. Even U.S.A. has better movies than this.
