Dorm Daze was for the most part exactly what you would expect which..if you're watching the movie, obviously is what you want to see. It is typical National Lampoon's for the most part and as of recently Lampoon's slew of videos ie: Blackball, Golddiggers etc. it's a place for former teen sitcom stars to settle down to something stupid. They tried a very specific style of comedy in this round which is the misunderstandings that worked so well for Three's Company back so many decades ago. The misunderstanding thing is funny but overdone to the most massive extent in this movie.
Dorm Daze is the story of a co-ed Dorm on the brink of Christmas holidays. Many have gone home and only a few remain. The friends have some interesting things going on. Booker's older brother Styles wants Booker to lose his virginity so he has hired him a hooker but Booker is in love with another girl. A french foreign exchange student who has the same name as the hooker who is arriving is coming to campus to meet with another guy to go on a Christmas break trip together. And then to top it all off a bag full of cash (30,000$) has been sent mistakenly to one of the girls. All these things get intermixed with chaotic confusion among the students. The two girls are mistaken for one another and the cash is being lost and found through everyone in the dorm in a purse that has a look alike also in the dorm. Chaos!!! The comedy entirely comes from the mistaken identities and mix ups and some of it rather funny. The downside comes from the lack of plot anywhere else in the film. It all bases itself around that. As other people have noted on here this film...although there isn't a lot to it drags on for what seems like hours!!! It's a very short movie and yet seems to go on and on and on. The cast is okay...they are as good as you can expect from this. Tatyana Ali (Ashley from Fresh Prince) seems be touted as the star although she doesn't hold the movie by any means...no one really does. Overall this is just a silly average movie that won't hold anyones attention for very long as all the recent entries in National Lampoon's seems to be. They don't even go for over the top disgusting humor anymore...not that I'm complaining....save your money and time for something else.
5/10
