BIG MAN ON CAMPUS (1989)

This quirky cult favorite follows the comic misadventures of Bob (Allan Katz), mysterious inhabitant of the UCLA campus clock tower. Bob’s been handed over to the university’s Psychology department for study. It’s up to Dr. Webster (Tom Skerritt, Alien), speech therapist Diane Girard (Cindy Williams, TV’s Laverne and Shirley) and Bob’s reluctant roommate Alex (Corey Parker, Biloxi Blues) to teach this primitive misfit the ways of the civilized world. Bob tackles it all, from frisbee to “nookie,” with one goal in mind: to win the affections of his true love, Cathy (Melora Hardin, TV’s Monk). The problem? Cathy is Alex’s girlfriend! Will the lumpy, tower-dwelling human hairball find love? Or will the miserable Dr. Fisk (Jessica Harper, Suspiria) have him put away as a menace to society? Find out, in this riotous campus comedy for every Tom, Dick and Quasimodo who ever dreamed of being a Big Man on Campus! Directed by Jeremy Kagan (TV’s Columbo, The Sting II) and written by the Big Man himself, Allan Katz (TV’s M*A*S*H and Rhoda)!
