Amazon.com
National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze is a raunchy college comedy set in a dormitory, where a chain of mistaken identities whips the co-ed residents into a slapstick frenzy. Sexist meathead Styles (Patrick Renna) insists that his virgin brother, Booker (Chris Owen), give it up to a hooker, Dominique (Boti Bliss), already on her way to the dorm. Incredibly, another Dominique (Marie Noelle), a French foreign exchange student, shows up at the same time, causing endless confusion, particularly with campus nerd Newmar (Tony Denman), who is trying to welcome the sweet Parisian but mistakenly offers his French sausage to the agreeable prostitute. Meanwhile, Claire (Tatyana Ali) misinterprets a play rehearsal between her boyfriend, Tony (Edwin Hodge), and another woman, Adrienne (Cameron Richardson), and a mix-up over look-alike purses furthers the chaos. For all the nuttiness, this unrated cut (adding four minutes) never quite lifts off, but it bears the trademark Lampoon anarchy. --Tom Keogh

 Not the best national lampoon's movie, funny moments, extreem exageration of dorm life October 19, 2006
Taken at face value, Dorm Daze is an Exagerated view of dorm life for college kids, with its relationships, love triagles, and the problems/gossip that occur while sharing living quarters with so many people. Initially starting out as a movie following one brother's attempt to get his younger brother "some Action" by purchasing a prostitute, it soon becomes one involving mixed up identities and a good bunch of money. Along the way many characters are introduced, the nerdy girl, the nerdy guy who secretly love the nerdy girl...who is hot, the young couple that has goes through a relationship crisis, the gossipy girls that spred rumors and jump to conclusions...you get the point. But the writers did do a fairly good job at pulling all of these characters together into one plot that did have some cohesion to it, and actually was quite funny at how things got blown out of proportions. A good comedy rental, or buy it for cheap here on amazon since rentals cost so much any more.
CAUTION, they have now released Dorm Daze 2, which makes this movie look like a masterpiece compared to it.

Oh did this one stink. Convoluted and confusing, the buildup to the conclusion was positively endless. I didn't laugh once.
Not bad at all!! June 19, 2006

Not That Bad May 8, 2006

Dorm Daze really isn't all that bad; it's a good movie to watch with your friends so you can be more immature than usual. It's actually very funny but some of it is a waste of time. Let's face it because this movie is really another teen movie and a mediocre one from the great National Lampoons and it seems like a step down for them. The film is really made off the cast who do a good job at being stupid and if not for them this movie is a lost cause. It's filled with lust, some fights, mystery, and scandal so if you like that you'll love this.
I'm glad I grew up knowing that the kid actors you loved during your childhood grew up too. You have Patrick Renna from The much loved classic Sandlot and Big Green and what's really funny is that he kind of resembles his character in Sandlot but more grown up with a dirtier mouth. Then you have the beautiful Tatyana Ali from The Fresh prince, even though this isn't the first movie I've seen with the two of them acting like this it's by far the worst.
Anyway who cares about that since these two are the stand out actors, Patrick is a lot funnier than I expected and it's his antics that set the mood for the movie. Dorm Daze is better than expected and the reason why I can't give a little bit of a spoiler is because this stuff is not something you can say here. Most likely you can catch this on cable so look out for it.
 An overlooked, worthwhile comedy September 29, 2005
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
It doesn't surprise me that not many people have ever heard about this movie, or have any idea it even exists. I myself didn't even know the movie existed until watching it at a friend's house one day. And boy am I glad I watched it that day, because this is definitely a worthy addition to an comedy fans collection. What surprises me more is that like some other great movies out there (100 Girls, Jailbait), this one was a straight to DVD port, despite having an excellent cast of characters including Patrick Renna (Ham from The Sandlot), Danielle Fischell (Topanga from Boys Meets World), Chris Owen (Sherminator from American Pie), James Debello (Rod from 100 Girls, Trip from Detroit Rock City), and Tatyana Ali (Ashley from Fresh Prince of Bellair). The movie, while not mature or deep in any sense, definitely does it's job of giving the viewer a pleasurable experience, and for that should not be overlooked.
The plot focuses around Styles (Patrick Renna) who is insisting his brother Booker (Chris Owen) lose his virginity (hey I said the plot wasn't very mature). To ensure Booker gets the job done, Styles hires a Hooker to come take care of business. Unfortunately the Hooker, Dominique, gets mixed up with a foreign exchange student arriving at the same time, letting the fun begin. Throw in an arguement between Claire (Tatyana Ali) and her boyfriend Tony (Edwin Hodge) over a misinterpreted play rehearsal, and a purse filled with money, and you can almost guess where the movie is going. I won't reveal anymore of the plot just incase you haven't seen it, but trust me the hiliarity of the cast, the jokes and the overall storyline combine for a generally pleasurable time, making this movie a must see for fans of films along the lines of "American Pie" or "Girl Next Door".
I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes comedies with sometimes juvenile humor, but with an overall entertaining message. Taking the movie too seriously will inhibit the viewing experience, so just look at it as something to entertain you, not something to be deep or life changing (because trust me it's far from that). Many have trashed the movie because of it's crude jokes and young cast, but that's what really makes the movie worth seeing. Don't make the mistake of writing this movie off without at least giving it a chance. I guarantee if you don't take it too seriously you might find yourself enjoying this one quite a bit.
