    SOOOOO Funny!

    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 :)

    great movie

    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:)

    Two Faces!

    Big Man on Campus is a forgettable but pleasant little retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's pleasant because it's witty and silly and no one could get mad at Bob Maloogaloogaloogalooga (How many "loogas" are there supposed to be, anyway?). It's forgettable because other than some of the goofy stuff that the hunchperson says, there's not a single situation or person that really sticks to your memory.

    BMOC was recommended to me by a good friend some ten years ago. She thought it was hilarious, and it is for someone in the mood for, well, this movie. The weakness in the movie is that it fairly reeks of B-movie, bottom of the bill, late-night-on-Cinemax-before-the-porn-lite starts.

    Oh, well. If you find it and you have 90+ minutes to blow, why not. Just remember that when you get hungry and you order out for fried chicken, get the Two-Face meal.

    "HOLD WHAT WHERE?"

    this film is full of catchy/witty humor, and is a joy to watch. b.m.o.c. may not be for everyone because some people just can`t relate to a hunchback that has lived in a room that overlooks a college campus for most of his life. but if you give this movie a chance you will like it!

    to be honest their really isn`t much to say about this film except that it`s about a hunchback that falls for a college co-ed and has some funny mis-adventures throughout the movie. it`s not a film that could win academy awards but it is a film that will win your heart, it`s one of those "feel good" movies that will end up having some kind of cult following for many years to come. rating (best of 5 stars) .....3.....

    Big Man on Campus is a funny movie

    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!

    • Quotes

      Dr. Webster: Well, I think the first thing we can do is get a name for you, and I think you should pick it. Now, can you think of a name that you'd like to be your name? What?

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Judy Finkel.

      Dr. Webster: Well, Judy Finkel is a nice name...

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Thank you.

      Dr. Webster: ...but it's a woman's name.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Okay.

      Dr. Webster: Well, it's not exactly okay. You should have a man's name. Now I want you to think of a man's name, a name that you think suits you.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: William F. Buckley.

      Dr. Webster: I believe there is a William F. Buckley.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Right. William G. Buckley.

      Dr. Webster: I think you should have your own name, a name that is not like a famous person's.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Bob!

      Dr. Webster: Bob.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga. Anyone famous named Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga?

      Dr. Webster: I doubt it.

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Good.

      Dr. Webster: Well, Mr. Maloogalooga... loogaloogalooga... looga...

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Looga, yeah. One malooga, four loogas.

      Dr. Webster: Alright. Why don't I just call you Bob?

      Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga: Don't know.
