Dead Man's Curve told the wickedly black story of two students plotting to use a roommate's suicide to pass their exams. Dead Man on Campus is essentially a lighter version of the same story. Pitched at a young teen audience, this has Tom Everett Scott and Mark-Paul Gosselaar on the verge of being kicked out of school because of low grades. When they discover a clause in the school constitution saying they will get automatic A's if a roommate commits suicide, they set about finding a suitably depressed person to share with — a task that turns out to be more difficult than they imagined. It's amiably played, but Alan Cohn's direction lacks bite.

Limp comedy that is too eager not to offend, and so fails to come to terms with its subject-matter.

Fantastic Film
I dont normally review but I feel you guys need another opinion other than the unhelpful one!
This has got to be one of my all times faves, classic college humour at its best, and a decent storyline to boot. Theres loads of funny quote's to take from this, check out cliff o malleys! When this finally gets the UK release it warrants!!!! You really will not be disappointed. -

Brilliant
Saw the film years ago from my friend who recorded it from TV. We watched this film many times over. A few years ago i struggled to find a dvd of it. managed to get an american copy and had to buy a multiregion dvd player just to play it.
Love the film, very funny with some memorable catchphrases and lines. Many good actors who you should atleast recognise.
If you like the likes of American pie and such you will like this, college humour with abit of a twist. Definately one of my favourite films of all time completely love it -
