As premises go, this one is unusually thin, boorish and insensitive. No amount of reworking with a No. 2 pencil will do any good.

The material is mostly predictable, moronic and deadly dull.

It is a movie whose appeal will diminish in direct proportion to the number of years it has been since you were a sexually-frustrated, pimply-faced undergrad.

It's amiably played, but Alan Cohn's direction lacks bite.

It's all handled so poorly that it comes off as more ghoulish than anything else, although those who find the word "bong" instantly entertaining and are easily distracted by the presence of flickering images may be amused.

Oddly, the troubled Cliff is more sympathetic than the two self-involved protagonists.

This Dead Man is a stiff.

An education in cheap, easy laughs.

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.

Surpise, surprise! This college comedy is better than you'd expect.

Dead Man on Campus is a modestly amusing trifle that merits a passing grade as lightweight entertainment.
