About Campus Man

In CAMPUS MAN, college business major Todd Barrett (Dye) is $10,000 in the hole for his school tuition, with only 30 days to produce the funds. Convincing his good friend, Brett (Lyon), who is also the star member of the school diving team, to pose for a beefcake calendar, Todd intends to get rich quick with this entrepreneurial endeavor. But, when the calendar threatens Brett’s amateur athletic status and his dreams of Olympic gold, Todd finds himself in possession of excess cash but lacking in the friendship department.

This is one of those movies that really can't be catagorized by Comedy/Drama/Suspense..etc. 'Campus Man' is a low-budget story produced in the times of Good-Natured movies directed at teenaged audiences (A dying breed of film by now). The movie features 'Touched By and Angel's' John Dye, Morgan Fairchild and a young model named Steve Lyon who appears in this..one of his only two movies. A young entrepreneur-to-be (John Dye) spends his last year at Arizona State University struggling to come up with the perfect marketing idea that will secure his future. He invests his new idea of a 'male calender for women' in his long-time friend and classmate (Steve Lyon), a handsome and promissing young diver for the school. When a tough buisness shark (Morgan Fairchild) and an outlaw loan officer put weight on his shoulders, he is forced to mend the damage to his friendship with Brett choose between a great deal of money and getting Brett's diving scholorship back. It's an 'Alex P. Keaton' type story which was popular in the 80s', very well done by all four lead actors with comedy and mild drama that makes it a nice summer vacation movie. It falls into the same catagory as 'Summer School', 'The Allnighter', and 'One Crazy Summer' and it's worth a try if you're a fan of 'beach-comedy' type stories from the 80s'. May 23, 2003

My girlfriend originally wanted to rent James Cameron's Titanic, but instead I argued for one of Ron Casden's more controversial works. Boy are we glad we decided on this. For the girls, this movie has John Dye, and for the gents, need I say more than Kathleen Willhoite? This uproarious comedy has you in stitches while still tugging at your heart-strings with its many twists and turns. Morgan Fairchild also makes a guest appearance as the editor of a magazine, now that's star power!!! This movie makes you feel great, case in point the now infamous high five scene at the end ; ). Side note for you movie buffs, Bob G. Anthony turns in an early stellar performance as the loan officer. Breath taking. If you're looking for an hilarious comedy that really makes you think and keeps you on your toes the whole way through...DROP EVERYTHING!!! and BUY this movie today!! March 7, 2003

rating: 5 QuoteGood College MovieQuote
The movie is a comedy/Thriller non horror movie, When i say non horror thriller, another words you wonder what is going to happen next. The movie is about a college student who needs to come up with $10,000 in 30 days for tution or he will be thrown out of college. He comes up with an idea to make a Sports pin up calander with college boys on it. He borrows $12,000 from a loan shark to start his project but with a %30 interest rate. He has to come up with $25,600 in 30 days OR ELSE. June 26, 2002
