National Lampoon Presents Dorm Daze (2003) is a comedy starring Tatyana Ali in her first starring role in a movie. The film was directed by brothers, David and Scott Hillenbrand. The movie showcases many new and unknown actors and actresses. In addition to Ali the film also shows Patrick Renna (former child actor from The Sandlot
), Chris Owen from Angus
, and Danielle Fishel from Boy Meets World.

The film was released in September 2003 and was only available in limited release areas. Due to the limited release of the film and the lack of advertisment and promotion, the film only grossed about sixty thousand dollars at the box office. The film was panned by critics as a sort of knock off of the American Pie
series and using the same, old jokes found in the teen sex comedy genre. Despite being panned by the critics and the low income at the box office, there is a sequel in the works titled Dorm Daze 2.

The film was shot on location in California. There were four key locations in California used for filming: Los Angeles, San Diego, Castaic, and Balboa Park which is in San Diego.
