User Reviews

I laughed from beginning to end

I thought Dorm Daze was great fun. I recommend it highly. This is a National Lampoon gem. All their movies should be so good. David and Scott Hillenbrand have a knack for this genre of film. Get a bunch of your friends together and laugh your asses off!
