Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad taste of this huge box office success. (Remember all those toga parties in the '80s?) The first of the National Lampoon movies, this was originally released as National Lampoon's Animal House. Keep an eye out for a very young Kevin Bacon in his first credited screen appearance. --Rochelle O'Gorman

A real pitty.
Rating: - My reviews are the best on Amazon...
but in this case, I defer to Andrew who wrote exactly what I thought, so that saves me some time. Oh, you have to sort "most recent first" or you wont know what I'm on about.
So what if you have to sit through a few ads? Go and spend the time shaping a sheet into an adhoc toga, stocking up on beer and ensuring your wife doesn't have a film ruining list of "jobs" for you to do.
Belushi is a colossus, his performance is Brando-esque and the clip where he gives his motivational ... Read More
