Dead Man on Campus (1998)

Humorous MTV film where Paul Mark Gosselar and Tom Everett Scott try to find a suicidal roommate so they will be excused from bad grades at college when he kills himself. (The college has an arcane rule that gives straight A's to the roommates of a student who commits suicide).

The film has moments of hilarity mainly provided by the prospective roommates. What's nice about the film is the gay jokes in the piece, which are generally aimed at Gosselar and Everett and which they handle with ease.

Overall amusing and light-hearted considering the theme is depression, angst and suicide.

Notes:

With music by Marilyn Manson (doing Bowie's "Golden Years" over opening credits).

(Review written in 1998)
