National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze

In the bustling halls of Billingsley University, a diverse group of students gathers for what should be a quiet stretch before Christmas break. The dormitory buzzes with cramped rooms, late‑night study sessions, and the ever‑present undercurrent of youthful ambition, all set against a backdrop of college‑town charm that invites both camaraderie and chaos. The atmosphere feels like a perpetual party caught in a loop of prank‑filled corridors and half‑finished projects, where every hallway could turn into a stage for impromptu comedy.

The story kicks off when a foreign‑exchange student named Dominique arrives, bringing a breath of continental flair to the campus. At the same moment, a different Dominique—a charismatic visitor with a very different line of work—lands in the same dorm, setting the scene for a cascade of mistaken identities. The coincidence of their shared name becomes the spark for a series of slap‑slap encounters, as well‑meaning roommates, curious admirers, and skeptical seniors try to untangle who is who, often creating more hilarity than clarity.

Around them, an eclectic cast adds depth to the mayhem. Styles, ever the schemer, constantly tries to manage his brother’s love life while juggling his own ambitions. Gerri balances a mysterious windfall with a knack for misreading social cues, while Wang anxiously awaits his French exchange student. Adrienne navigates secret crushes and awkward flirtations, and Foosball—who’s never quite what he seems—adds another layer of intrigue. Meanwhile, Booker, Rachel, Newmar, Claire, Tony, Cliff, Marla, and Lynn each bring their own quirks, gossip, and hidden agendas, turning the dorm into a living, breathing comedy laboratory.

The tone of the film is a raucous, good‑natured romp that revels in the absurdity of college life. With quick‑witted dialogue, over‑the‑top pranks, and a steady stream of slapstick set pieces, the movie invites the audience to watch as youthful optimism collides with a tangled web of mistaken identity. The chaos is as much about learning who you are as it is about surviving the hilariously unpredictable world of dorm‑room politics, promising a whirlwind “education” for everyone involved.
