The jokes are few. And the only real reason you'll laugh is that, by the time they appear on screen, you've been waiting so long for the opportunity, you'll laugh at anything.July 15, 2014
Oddly, the troubled Cliff is more sympathetic than the two self-involved protagonists.March 26, 2009
Dead Man on Campus is a modestly amusing trifle that merits a passing grade as lightweight entertainment.July 15, 2014
