Frankenstein: The College Years
Directed by Tom Shadyac
A lighthearted college comedy that treats Frankenstein's monster as a lovable, dim-witted roommate, prioritizing humor and camaraderie over horror or depth.
When professor Lippzigger dies, his favorite student Mark inherits the key to his secret laboratory. There he and his friend Jay find the hundreds of years old body of Frankenstein - and revive it. But where to go with him? They take him with them to their dorms. He's dumb as a brick, but makes it into their football team and becomes popular. If there only wasn't Prof. Loman, who wants to become famous with Lipp's inventions...
