User Review

Good Premise but Poorly Executed

Rating: 3/10


When I read the cover of the Brazilian DVD "Dorm Haze", I found a funny
premise in the synopsis. A French student named Dominique comes to the
Billingsley University in a exchange program and her host can not
welcome her since he needs to work. So he asks a gay roommate to
receive her in the university dorm. Meanwhile, another student hires a
call girl named Dominique to force his roommate to lose his virginity
against his will. There is a misunderstanding with the "Dominiques" and
the dorm goes crazy.

Unfortunately the cast is unfunny and the gags are too silly and do not
work. I saw this film expecting to laugh and I did not find it funny in
any moment. The Fantasy Girl in the Extra is the best part of the DVD.
Last but not the least, there are many fake reviews in IMDb promoting
this terrible flick. My vote is three.
