I saw this movie with my kids in 1990 while we were vacationing. I think it was on HBO. ll of us really enjoyed the film. I was able to acquire a VHS copy a couple of years later and in fact, I haven't run across a person that I have shown it to that didn't like it. It really works well on the small screen. The stars do a very credible job. Of course Alan Katz is really fantastic as Bob Malooga Looga Looga Looga Looga. but I would really like to see Lions Gate release it on DVD. Lions Gate owns all of Vestrons film library apparently. I've sent an email I urge others who liked the film to do so as well. Their email address is [email protected]

you have to have a sense of humor and see the humor in the movie. i laughed till i cried while watching this movie. i have it on VHS and watch it when i need a laugh. i have had my friends watch it as well and some of the lines are great. like hoover two speed. it makes people laugh. and then they ask where did i hear that line and i tell them big man on campus. i hope the ones who do choose to watch it, will watch it with the silliness it was intended to be watched with. let yourself laugh. laughter is a great way to let the stress of the day evaporate.i think when william katz wrote the movie it was done with tongue in cheek humor and as he plays the hunch back he would have to have one.a sense of humor i mean. so to all of you i hope you enjoy it.

First, this is a favorite movie of mine. I do love watching it, but NOT for any cerebral reason whatsoever. My son likes it similarly, but the females in the family dread when it comes on TV. So many of the lines in the movie just seem to be repeated for a week or so afterwards, as my son and I amuse ourselves.While I don't recommend beer for the younger ones, watching the opening credits to this movie with the first beer almost completely in is a great start. The rest of the time (in moderation) is just simply going to be fun. This is NOT "Saving Private Ryan".The sad thing about this movie, is that aside from the writer/star, Allan Katz, all other performances are completely forgettable. This is a movie written by, and for, the star to perform in. Tom Skerrit and Cindy Williams try hard ... but they just don't have the lines. Nor does anyone else for that matter. Everyone is a straight man for Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga. You can easily understand why this was not an Academy Award contender.That said ... there is some really funny stuff here. If you don't take yourself too seriously, you too may be able to simply laugh your butt off watching this. And if you also have a "stupid movie" collaborator like I do with my 16 year old son, why then you can double your fun!

Big Man on campus is a clever, witty movie that will definitely make you laugh! Although it's base is humor it also has a touching side and an important message. You grow to love Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga and I found myself keeping my fingers crossed for him! It is a movie for everyone and I recommend it. Also Alan Katz is fabulous!
