Foggin Up The Sheets

Dull and mediocre but it had a few chuckles.

It ain't no Vacation movie but I guess I could say it was worth the rental..sorta. I had small mixed feelings about this movie. The premise of the movie was good, it was just the movie itself that was bad. Diedrich Bader had a very weak performance in this movie and Thomas Ian Nicholas showed me why again I never really found anything special about him. Although there were a few times where I laughed, the romantic parts felt like I was watching a bad TV-movie. If I were you, I would approach this movie with caution, you'll like it if you're a die-hard National Lampoon fan. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a Dorm Daze movie. I just hope that there is no sequel in the works.
