Watch Dean Slater: Resident Advisor For Free

Waste of time

Pretty Good

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Amazing, the cast was perfect for portraying the characters personality, and while most college movies are either very cheesy or not particularly funny, this film was neither. Colin Sander and others have made an amazing comedy that i wouldn't mind watching twice! the ability for the actors communicate well and work together to overall make great jokes that had my stomach hurt from laughter. Colin Sander, while an amazing kendama player introduced kendama into another hobby of his very well, which was hilarious to see, as i do play kendama myself. i hope to see many other productions by Colin, and if they are similar to this i know they will make it big.

I did the 3 day rental on Amazon, and watched it over and over again! Loved the cast, the film work, the directing, and of course the kendamas! Colin Sander did an amazing job directing the movie, and I would highly recommend any of his works! I am definitely suggesting watching it and purchasing it too if you watch movies often! It has everything that you'd want in a college comedy film. There are life lessons to be learned from watching this, stories to be shared, and even ways to relate to the movie. Like stated previously in another review, after watching this movie, you indeed may not feel the same afterwards.

Hearkening back to the 80's college comedy aesthetic this movie tackles the modern dilemma of social media vs. real world interaction. Set at the fictitious Southern California State University the movie follows three freshmen boys who, struggling to overcome their high school identities, find guidance from a long-lost alum standing in as their resident adviser. On screen you see a lot of pretty young faces and bodies (a couple of the actors are of Disney and Nickelodean pedigree) and a surprisingly diverse assortment of locations from desert to campus to beach to an elaborate data-network center.Things begin with the usual college antics...partying and partying then paying the price. This all comes with some laughs. A lot of the gags are of the gross out variety and I have to say that despite myself I was laughing out loud at some of the absurd potty humor (particularly a case of drunken toilet bowl mix-up).There is a love story or two for the hopeless romantics but the emotions seem to take back seat to silliness as the story moves forward towards it's internet defying climax.The acting is all good enough with the one stand out being Mitchel Jarvis of "Keith Stone" infamy who plays the pseudo-lead Dean Slater. Jarvis brings some real gusto to his scenes with a mix of Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and Johny Depp Jack Sparrow making for a strangely transfixing character.With their coincidentally freshman effort, Colin Sander (writer, director) and Christian Sander (writer, producer) have made a movie with all the signs of a young and enthusiastic cast and crew having fun and learning as they go along. There are plenty of little things to criticize with the story and structure, but with this kind of movie it's really not worth getting worked up over. Delivering a good dose of laughs and surprises this is worth the rental fee.P.S. The credit sequence (though perhaps coming in a little late) is fantastic. I hope to see more of that creativity in the next Sander Bro's collaboration.

RA was a great movie! I went into the movie thinking it was going to be just another cheesy college partying movie; however, what I found was quite the opposite. The movie portraits many of society's "flaws" such as being secluded to yourself and your cell phone, and not really connecting with the other people around you. This movie shows many great ways to break from the norm and become better functioning humans not ruled by technology and the movie manages to do this while maintaining a light hearted funny atmosphere. I would recommend this movie to anyone, especially kids that are about to face their first year of college. Killer movie!
