Big Man on Campus

I first saw this film when my teenagers were small, we all loved it and to this day we still quote from it, people think we are mad as no-one has seen it! I have searched everywhere for this film, I thought that good old Sky TV would repeat it again but no and the video we had was recorded over so I was over the moon when I found a copy of the video on EBay, I am awaiting delivery as we speak! Thank God for the internet, now I can surprise my kids and show my little one (she is 7) and introduce her to Bob Maloogalooga etc. I even went so far as to have a pet cat called mooka and a rat called camoula. The funniest and yes daftest film I have ever seen, but I LOVE IT!

If you want to delve into a cult classic and be enlightened then you need to watch this. Probably the best cult classic buried so deep you would never find it if you weren't forced to watch it by a good friend. You will have to watch it with your best friend and re-watch it 20 times while usually drinking too much beer and then have it on while drinking beer for the next 12 years. After that 12 year span you will not regret putting it in your top 5 all cult classics.

This is one of the greatest films I remember from my childhood. I haven't been able to track down a copy in the UK, but still I search. Its a film which you can do impressions of with your friends for years to come. Its definatly worth seeing. Its humor is slightly repetative with the same jokes used a few times, but still, it works. Definately see this movie. It wasnt made to win any Oscars, but it does its trick to give you a laugh with your friends and make you feel good for a few hours :)

Love this film! I was only 1 when it came out but we have it on video and me and my mum think it is one of the funniest films I have ever seen! nobody else who we have show it to likes it though! my favourite parts are: 'you can have any piece of chicken you like, a leg, wing?' '2 faces!'/ (singing)'Caaathy Malooga, Malooga Caaaaathy' at the top of his tower/when he stuffed his face with chocolate cake and it all gets stuck in his beard/when he is in the Psychiatrists sat on the bed thing and he can't lay backwards because of his hump and he just rolls off onto the floor!/camoola the rat 'mooka camoola'/ :oD i could go on forever! Classic Film!

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.

Absolutely hilarious film, written by Alan Katz who plays Bob Malooga Loogaloogaloogalooga. 1 Malooga, 4 Looga's. I first saw this film many years ago when it was on TV and many times since and it's funny every time. Have tried to get it on Blue-Ray, DVD or even download but as a previous reviewer has said all original copies have been destroyed in a fire and might not ever be released, but for anyone out there who wants to see this film it's on YouTube, and that's good enough for me.

i found this movie to be a slapstick comedy that surpassed all my expectations. i would recommend this film to anyone who loves to watch a movie just so they can laugh. when my good woman first told me about this movie,i thought no not for me. It didn't help that while trying to tell me about the film,she constantly laughed,so i didn't really find out anything of substance of the storyline. i eventually sat down and watched the film and laughed from start to finish. the storyline isn't important,as this film is just a good movie to make you laugh:)

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 general-inquiries@lgf.com

This 1989 comedy stars Allan Katz, Corey Parker, Melora Hardin, Tom Skerritt, Jessica Harper and Cindy Williams. This is basically a send-up of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" where we meet Bob (Katz), a semi-deformed, wild-man who dwells in an old bell/clock tower on a college campus. Soon, he makes his presence known getting into mischief and learning people skills. Parker (How I Got Into College) plays Alex, a college student who becomes his friend & roommate, Hardin (The Office) plays Alex's girlfriend, Cathy who is the object of Bob's Affection, Skerritt (Top Gun) plays psychologist, Webster, Harper (Suspiria) plays psychiatrist, Fisk who thinks Bob is a danger to society and Williams (Laverne & Shirley) plays professor, Girard who falls for Bob. I grew up watching this and always enjoyed it. The cast is decent, Katz is especially great and his facial expressions remind me a bit of Ed O'Neill's (Married with Children). This is an amusing late 80's comedy with humor and heart I recommend.

I love this movie simply because of Allan Katz's portrayal of hunchback Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga ("one malooga, four loogas"). He is very quotable ("Why is my face leaking?"), and the physical comedy is great too. However, Corey Parker is horrendous. He tries to portray a young, suave version of Woody Allen, and it's embarrassing. You'll cringe every time he's on screen. He is neither suave nor funny. Melora Hardin (girlfriend Cathy) has an average and forgettable performance, but it's an accomplishment that she was even able to laugh at Parker on screen. So bad, you'll be embarrassed FOR him. Cindy Williams and Tom Skerritt play professors, and are both very good in their "straight man" roles opposite Katz. But watching Katz is really the only reason to watch this movie, and it is well worth the time. You'll never forget it.
