Dean Slater: Resident Advisor (2013)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Dean Slaters movie Residents Advisors is amazing!! It could possibly be one of the funniest shows ever. Not only is this movie funny but it also has kendama pro Colin Sanders directing it and kendama is my life so this was the perfect movie for people who love kendama and comedy!! The director did an amazing job on this movie. It is a great movie to watch with friends to and is certainly entertaining. It was in a great place with great actors . The movie has a great story line to it and is very easy to understand. Once you start watching this movie you don't want to stop, The movie had great footage and again was filmed very well!! Overall this movie was a great movie!!

10/10 would watch again. "Dean Slater: Resident Adviser is a great movie written by a great person :P. Probably one of my top 10 favorite comedies. I would most definitely recommend this movie to anyone, even those who do not enjoy comedies, it can be watched on youtube or you can support the makers and buy it from amazon or itunes. Worth it in my opinion. Sanders did a terrific job incorporating "kendama" into the movie. "Kendama" is a Japanese skill toy that is incredibly fun and addicting. Did you know that Colin Sander, director of Dean Slater: Resident Adviser is a pro kendama player for a company called "KendamaUSA"?

Hearkening back to the 80's college comedy aesthetic this movie tackles the modern dilemma of social media vs. real world interaction. Set at the fictitious Southern California State University the movie follows three freshmen boys who, struggling to overcome their high school identities, find guidance from a long-lost alum standing in as their resident adviser. On screen you see a lot of pretty young faces and bodies (a couple of the actors are of Disney and Nickelodean pedigree) and a surprisingly diverse assortment of locations from desert to campus to beach to an elaborate data-network center.Things begin with the usual college antics...partying and partying then paying the price. This all comes with some laughs. A lot of the gags are of the gross out variety and I have to say that despite myself I was laughing out loud at some of the absurd potty humor (particularly a case of drunken toilet bowl mix-up).There is a love story or two for the hopeless romantics but the emotions seem to take back seat to silliness as the story moves forward towards it's internet defying climax.The acting is all good enough with the one stand out being Mitchel Jarvis of "Keith Stone" infamy who plays the pseudo-lead Dean Slater. Jarvis brings some real gusto to his scenes with a mix of Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and Johny Depp Jack Sparrow making for a strangely transfixing character.With their coincidentally freshman effort, Colin Sander (writer, director) and Christian Sander (writer, producer) have made a movie with all the signs of a young and enthusiastic cast and crew having fun and learning as they go along. There are plenty of little things to criticize with the story and structure, but with this kind of movie it's really not worth getting worked up over. Delivering a good dose of laughs and surprises this is worth the rental fee.P.S. The credit sequence (though perhaps coming in a little late) is fantastic. I hope to see more of that creativity in the next Sander Bro's collaboration.

Movies about the American college experience are silly, and this raises the bar. The reality of the American college environment is unreal, and so any comedy flick on the subject is by nature exploitative. Which reminds me to write that screenplay on my very real college experience that laid the groundwork for the next 20 years of my life.The bottom line: this is an incredibly silly movie specific to California college life. It is not particularly awful and has some poignant and well thought out comedic moments. It has, as a major theme, the abuse of social media, which, given the sorry state of American culture these days - with people sharing a meal paying more attention to their cell phones than their company - is a real concern. This B-Grade flick makes the unpopular argument that the pervasiveness of social media is excessive, and that we we need to find a balance."Are you Amish?"
