Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I saw this movie years ago, by accident, on Sky movies and taped it the next time it was shown. Nobody I had ever asked about it had heard of it and soon my videotape was doing the rounds and not one person who had borrowed it didn't agree that it was extremely funny.Alan Katz is hilarious as Bob the hunchback and all the other actors do an adequate job in supporting his character.There are some classic lines in there that you will find yourself reciting to the other members of your family & friends who have seen it.I'm not going to write a synopsis of the movie because there are already plenty of them on here, I just want to say that if you EVER get a chance to see this movie, then jump at it, and if the studios have any sense at all and release this on DVD one day, then buy it. You won't be sorry.

I love this movie simply because of Allan Katz's portrayal of hunchback Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga ("one malooga, four loogas"). He is very quotable ("Why is my face leaking?"), and the physical comedy is great too.However, Corey Parker is horrendous. He tries to portray a young, suave version of Woody Allen, and it's embarrassing. You'll cringe every time he's on screen. He is neither suave nor funny. Melora Hardin (girlfriend Cathy) has an average and forgettable performance, but it's an accomplishment that she was even able to laugh at Parker on screen. So bad, you'll be embarrassed FOR him.Cindy Williams and Tom Skerritt play professors, and are both very good in their "straight man" roles opposite Katz. But watching Katz is really the only reason to watch this movie, and it is well worth the time. You'll never forget it.

It might seem a pat campus movie, but there's a lot more here. Allen Katz is more and more interesting as you concentrate on him. The gags and jokes are really funny, and catch you by their Understatement. It has become one of our ravenous movie watcher household's "watch again" classics, a fate which few films enjoy..We have one 35 yr old filmwriter and fanatic, one theater/film educated person of the next [old] generation, and one newby with discrimination. Hope you try it!

this film is full of catchy/witty humor, and is a joy to watch. b.m.o.c. may not be for everyone because some people just can`t relate to a hunchback that has lived in a room that overlooks a college campus for most of his life. but if you give this movie a chance you will like it!
to be honest their really isn`t much to say about this film except that it`s about a hunchback that falls for a college co-ed and has some funny mis-adventures throughout the movie. it`s not a film that could win academy awards but it is a film that will win your heart, it`s one of those "feel good" movies that will end up having some kind of cult following for many years to come. rating (best of 5 stars) .....3.....
