big monster on campus be set ion los angeles where smart science student frank stein ( matthew lawrence ) have ideas about bring the dead back to life and while at a party local nerd karl oreilly ( ryan reynolds ) be confront by cool high school dude lance ( justin walker ) and tuttle ( christian payne ) and after an accident karl end up dead at the bottom of a swimming pool . fear they will be blame for karl death lance and tuttle accept an offer of help from frank who say he can bring karl back to life and unfortunately karl have suffer a bad head injury so frank replaces karl brain with that of recently decease killer wayne dobbs . after successfully bring karl back to life it no great surprise that killer dobbs take over much to everyones annoyance and frank realises what he have do and feel compel to right his mistake . also know a boltneck and teen monster this be direct by mitch marcus and i have to admit that i loathe every second of this horrible teen horror comedy that i be struggle to find one positive thing about and nope i can not think of anything at all . with a lead character name frank stein and a dead body be bring back to life by electricity with a killer brain inside it not hard to tell that this be a parody of mary shelley classic novel frankenstein although to be honest this play out more like an episode of dawson creek a it focus on various teen issue and problem and in fact there little reason to have the frankenstein subplot here at all . the comedy moment be embarrassingly bad and of the moronic variety and two kid with a dead body in their car be stop by a cop and he just think the dead guy be drunk ( yeah and right ) or two guy pull someone else pant down at school . this be a clever and funny a it get which basically mean it not clever or funny in the slight . there be no horror element and the teen angst issue be awful and predictable ( kid impress demand father and get the girl of his dream and groan ) and i sit there watch this crap with a blank expression on my face not even really take it in and there just a collection of bad scene string together with no reason behind it . also it look like bring the dead back to life be pretty easy accord to this and i think i might give it a try . the whole film have no flair or style and feel like a bland soap opera . forget about any horror a there really isn not any . all the character be really irritating and the comic relief bad guy be just dumb . i actually can not remember that much else about this and i only endure it last night . this probably have a small budget but have reasonable production value despite be devoid of any style or personality . the acting be alright and to be honest everyone just get on my nerve though . big monster on campus be a terrible horror comedy that doesn not contain any horror or laugh and one of the bad film i have see this year so far and a perfect example in how to make 90 odd minute feel like an eternity .
