Another early effort for Segel, and another that could be chalked up to his wanting to pay some bills and show his eagerness to break the business before Freaks & Geeks offered a short-lived break-through, Dead Man On Campus is still difficult to let slide. Strictly speaking it's hard to pin the film's dismal failure solely on Segel, who in truth only had a passing role, but it's hard not to castigate everyone involved. The so-called dark comedy is an amoral, nasty disaster, reliant on a plot that is inconceivably inhumane, and which - even worse - is lifted whole-sale from fellow 1998 "suicide comedy" The Curve. As a mark of how awful it was, the film has now gone out of print - which must be some relief to Segel and his fellow cast members, but those who saw it will always have that back-of-the-brain nagging that he is always capable of making terrible career choices like this.
