...manage to disengage your refinement and prepare yourself to laugh at some incredibly sophomoric humor. This is the ultimate college frat movie, complete with sex jokes, beer jokes, dope jokes, preppies jokes, and just plain dumb jokes. Nevertheless, this story of a renegade frat at an uptight early-'60s college is a good way to spend three bucks and a couple of hours. And, you know, it even reminds me of Dartmouth...

The story line, if there is one, revolves around the frantic partying and rowdiness of the frat, Delta, and the efforts of a ruthless college dean (of Faber College, whose motto is "Knowledge...
Animal House--This is it. In the great National Lampoon combination, this film combines bad taste, grossness, and total absurdity to make a screamingly funny film. John Belushi, of Saturday Night Life Live fame, goes absolutely bonkers in this tale of a reject frat at an uptight campus in the early '60s. If it's a gross, sophomoric joke, it's in this film, but it's still funny as hell. Definitely worth seeing...
