Dean Slater: Resident Advisor (2013)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Just perfect...

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This movie hits all points of the funny bone, Physical humor, clever background shenanigans and good ol fashioned fart jokes. How this movie was thought out and put together was very precise and quite frankly hilarious. The dialog was very clever and reminds me of the little banter that me and my friends have when we are out and about. Being a California native, the humor of this movie really had me laughing. The movie also has a a great message regarding social media and how it has an ironic impact on these underclassmen. Apart from the classic college comedy scenarios, the real gold is what you hear and see in the background! I watched this movie with headphones on and was laughing with all the crowd remarks, B to C roll audio and the little stories that happen unfold in the background. It also has a kendama in it. How cool is that?!?! I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it for a fun laugh with friends. See if you can spot the director Colin Sander Cameo! It would make Alfred Hitchcock Proud!

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.

Dean Slater: Resident Adviser was a great surprise. It is easy to assume mediocrity when a movie skips the big screens. Then again, I don't have much experience with these low budget films outside of nature documentaries on netflix. I am not the biggest fan of college themed movies either. Bearing biases, I enjoyed RA for it's creative filming, plot, and easy to watch acting.The awkward moments of college were brought to life quickly. The movie actually hinges on awkward college life and this is a good thing. Growing up is awkward, and especially amidst your peers. Those that critique this aspect of the film are probably still reconciling their own youthful travails. The young cast had to have felt a tinge of red on their cheeks during the filming.The highlight of the plot was when the internet was forcefully shut down, effectively halting access to text messages and facebook. The campus wide panic that resulted was beautiful, and a great tribute to the joys of interacting face to face (awkward or smooth), rather than through the hyped mediums of the 21st of the century (that decrease the stakes of an awkward interaction). The scene of great angst and confusion where the students lacked access to their phones was not exaggerated either.The college students today would react similarly if they found themselves without access to facebook. I have seen my students use it voraciously when given free seconds. The social media snowball is racing downhill to create the next interactive platform into which the young and curious can stare into endlessly. But what about staring deeply into the eyes of your next best friend, or loved one? The writers of RA showed their concern in regards to the direction of everyday interaction on college campuses today. This made the movie for me.The filming separated the movie from other non big screeners. It was tidy, clean and creative. The introductory scene and credits were excellent. 007 movies always kick off with an action scene and seductive opening credits. RA proved similar with less alterations and more props - which was impressive and had you buckling up rather than taking a bathroom break. Christian, Colin, and Scott are hopefully polishing up the plot of their second movie by now. I'm an eager fan.

Though I be just an Englishman even I can relate with the wit and humour of a gorgeous US movie such as this. Well where do I start fresh from VGHS Jimmy Wong is delightful albeit he may be the only actor except Nathalie Ramos in this movie I knew of and Nathalie Ramos is again amazing in this movie. Moving from House of Anubis which was dark(ish) albeit cheesy as anybody's business to a full out college humour the transition was seamless. It could of gone with the norm of college/teenagers coming out movies but no it went with a kick ass RA and some lines that though were cliché had a charm to them. It has also managed to add in a kendama and well any movie that introduces and addicts me to a sport like this has to be worth a watch right
