Big Man on Campus (1989)

One of my all time favorites.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This 1989 comedy stars Allan Katz, Corey Parker, Melora Hardin, Tom Skerritt, Jessica Harper and Cindy Williams. This is basically a send-up of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" where we meet Bob (Katz), a semi-deformed, wild-man who dwells in an old bell/clock tower on a college campus. Soon, he makes his presence known getting into mischief and learning people skills. Parker (How I Got Into College) plays Alex, a college student who becomes his friend & roommate, Hardin (The Office) plays Alex's girlfriend, Cathy who is the object of Bob's Affection, Skerritt (Top Gun) plays psychologist, Webster, Harper (Suspiria) plays psychiatrist, Fisk who thinks Bob is a danger to society and Williams (Laverne & Shirley) plays professor, Girard who falls for Bob. I grew up watching this and always enjoyed it. The cast is decent, Katz is especially great and his facial expressions remind me a bit of Ed O'Neill's (Married with Children). This is an amusing late 80's comedy with humor and heart I recommend.

Love this film! I was only 1 when it came out but we have it on video and me and my mum think it is one of the funniest films I have ever seen! nobody else who we have show it to likes it though! my favourite parts are: 'you can have any piece of chicken you like, a leg, wing?' '2 faces!'/ (singing)'Caaathy Malooga, Malooga Caaaaathy' at the top of his tower/when he stuffed his face with chocolate cake and it all gets stuck in his beard/when he is in the Psychiatrists sat on the bed thing and he can't lay backwards because of his hump and he just rolls off onto the floor!/camoola the rat 'mooka camoola'/ :oD i could go on forever! Classic Film!

This is one of the greatest films I remember from my childhood. I haven't been able to track down a copy in the UK, but still I search. Its a film which you can do impressions of with your friends for years to come. Its definatly worth seeing. Its humor is slightly repetative with the same jokes used a few times, but still, it works. Definately see this movie. It wasnt made to win any Oscars, but it does its trick to give you a laugh with your friends and make you feel good for a few hours :)

this movie is hilarious. it is so dumb, but so entertaining and full of laughs. anyone who does not think this movie is great, i would not want to be friends with. it just keeps getting better and better with each time you watch it.
