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

Rating:  - I must admit...
...the forced previews and trailers before the movie are annoying. I couldn't believe that I couldn't skip through that crap... I also must note that there was no use of the pause button while the movie was playing. If I wanted to pause the film to go to the kitchen, I had to stop the DVD.
But seriously...
THIS IS ANIMAL HOUSE!
Who really cares about the five minutes of previews and the inconvenience of not being able to pause the movie?
It's Animal House!

Rating: - Delta and Omega
Part of what made NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE so beloved when it came out in 1978 was its spirit of anarchy, embodied by John Belushi as the frat house hero Bluto Blutarsky; people who have heard about the film who watch it for the first time may be surprised how few lines he actually has in it (still, he seems to preside). The film's climax, which involves the title fraternity of Delta House wreaking utter havoc on a parade in their college's small town is nothing more than a celebration of the pleasures ... Read More
Rating: - Tour de Force
There are few films I treasure as much as Animal House. It is to creative comedy what Mozart is to music. I've seen it about 20 times and used to sneak out past my bedtime during childhood to watch it on our family room's television. Every performance--particularly Belushi's, Matheson's, Hulce's and Furst's--was outstanding. Every character resonates and the send up of the fraternity system changed our culture. Animal House is gloriously politically incorrect and harkens back to a time when we used to accept the ... Read More
Rating: - National Lampoon's Animal House
This DVD is a classic. It was fun watching this again, last time seeing it at the theatre and a couple of times on TV. I would recommend it to anyone that was in college in the 60's or 70's.
Rating: - Wild with Traditional 70's-style Humor
This is a classic that no one can afford to miss out on. It's for all generations as long as the viewer is old enough for an "R" film.
See Belushi at his best. The film has well known actors and those who play good support roles.
It's a superb film for Tim Matheson. He's got a great role as do others who fit in excellently with the dialogue and scenes. You'll be rolling on your couch, even if you've got a son considering joining a frat.
