Summary: A No-Brainer with BRAINS!
Review: Five stars! No questions asked. Only National Lampoon can have you rolling in the aisle with such dumb silliness. "Dorm Daze" had me in a daze. It is so lame, it is funny. The script is excellent and the casting is perfect. The best word to describe it is "zany". What makes all of the National Lampoon films work is the editing. The cutting from one scene to the next...from one dorm room to the next...was excellent. It reminded me of a modern day Marx Bros. in a college setting...very much like "Room Service" (a classic). I expected a no-brainer. I got a no-brainer with brains! I can see why other critics may not like it. You thoroughly have to enjoy silliness to appreciate "Dorm Daze"...but if you've ever lived in a dorm, it is so "right on" in parts. Wanna good laugh? Be sure you pause the film if you leave the room. You don't want to miss a single clip...and it jumps around so much it would be easy to do so. Great comedy. A National Lampoon classic!

Summary: Dorm Daze will amaze
Review: I dont see why people dislike this movie so. I mean its bad...but hilarious. Its no Animal House but if you enjoy dumb teen comedies you'll most likely enjoy. Its better than the American Pies in any case.
Go out, rent this get a pizza and a six-pack and have some fun on a dull night

Summary: Embarrassingly bad film.
Review: In the 80s, National Lampoon produced some really funny comedy films. But with a few exceptions, it's been mainly downhill from there. National Lampoon's latest--and embarrassingly bad film--"Dorm Daze"--is the newest entry in National Lampoon's Hall of Shame.
"Dorm Daze" is set in a college dorm--after all, we all know that the dorm is the perfect setting for comedy. There seems to be some prevalent idea in this culture that losing one's virginity is a subject for great hilarity, and so "Dorm Daze" combines the college dorm setting with the plot surrounding a nerd's deflowering. The nerd's jock brother has, apparently, arranged for a prostitute to come to the dorm.
"Dorm Daze" offers many of the stock characters that are apparently deemed essential to the 'teen comedy'. There's the Jock, the Nerd, the Bimbos, blah blah blah. The problem with the stock characters is that they are just that ... there is no individuality whatsoever. Everything is stale. The film attempts to whip up the comedy with frantic comings and goings, but there is a distinct LACK of jokes. My question is: "where are the jokes?" I watched this abysmally awful film with several other people, and the film was so UNFUNNY, we turned to each other in disbelief. Someone said "do you think this looked funny on paper?" and that sums it up. "Dorm Daze" goes through the motions, but it really is a utter waste of time--displacedhuman

Summary: Dorm Daze - Pure Escapism
Review: Ok, it's not Animal House - it's tough to beat the original. It's also not the Vacation Series, but it's still NL and kudos to their casting people. It's a college flic, sophomoric humor and it's escapism, not reality. That's the whole point of the movies - to escape from reality - why do we want to pay to see reality on the screen when we live it everyday. I gave it 5 stars for the simple fact that it was great to see Danielle Fishel in something a bit racy for change and she handled it well.

Summary: The NL glory days are over!!
Review: Remember the good old days of "ANIMAL HOUSE", "VACATION" and maybe even "LOADED WEAPON"...well their OVER!!!!!(...) This movie is a JOKE, i laughed so much on how this movie was NOT FUNNY, and this time...i won't blame it on the actors, the acting was actually quite good, but the script they had to work with unfortunetly wasn't. Short summary of the film, everyone misunderstands each other in this dorm and things go crazy after that, there's a foreign exchange student, a gay guy, a nerd, a hooker, a hitman, a pretty girl, a basketball player with a jealous girlfriend, two tramps who like to gossip about everything, a punk guy who's supposed to be french but he's not, a nice guy who has a crazy roomate who torments him all the time, and..well does it really matter? Confused? Watch the film, you'll understand what i mean...or better yet, DON'T!! (...) HOW I WISH WE WERE BACK IN THE 80'S - THE GREATEST DECADE THAT PRODUCED THE BEST COMEDIES IN HISTORY!!!!!!

Summary: Do Not Buy, Do Not Rent, Do Not Consider
Review: The only thing worth seeing is a single Pam Anderson scene. The virgin's brother is locked in the closet and he dreams himself as Hef. That's all there is. Snore snore, grit grit.

Summary: A Shallow Mess
Review: This is definitely not one of the best National Lampoon movies. It takes place in a college dorm filled with your stereotypical sexually charged males and airhead females. One of the male students hires a prostitute, named Dominique. However, she quickly becomes confused with a French foreign exchange student, also named Dominique. This does draw a few laugh out loud moments. However, most of the film is spent showing the characters chasing each other through the dorm, looking for a purse full of money. Where the money came from is never adequately explained. All we know is it was the result of some crooked operation. After the first hour, you just wish the movie would come to an end. But it drags on for another 35 minutes. The only person who made this movie tolerable was Boti Bliss as Dominique (the prostitute). She is a beautiful women. And she does have a partial nude scene in the film.

Summary: Don't buy or rent this movie
Review: This movie is one of the dumbest I've seen in a long time. The unrated version teases you in to watching but will completely disapoint you. The acting was terrible and sound effects just gaudy. Go out and get Eurotrip or Road Trip instead. I can't believe National Lampoon put its name on this. DON'T BUY IT, DON'T RENT IT. Don't waste 2 hours of your life on this.

Summary: National Lampoon Sucks
Review: This movie is so weak it is not even funny. One star is way to high for this sad, pitiful thing that calls itself a comedy. If a negative rating was possible, I would have given it a negative ten! This is NOWHERE in the same league as "Animal House" and "Vacation." Come on National Lampoon. Spend some money and hire some real writers and directors!!!!!!
