Editorial Review:
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
National Lampoon's Animal House Reviews:
my private review mach 5 
2008-11-03 - I 1st saw this movie in 1980 and its hilarious john belushi gives a greatest performance, i liked it
WHERE IS IT? 
2008-10-30 - Will somebody please tell me where the A&E documentary is? I can't Find it for the life of me. I found the WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (not a fan of mockumentaries after GUFFMAN won the prize), and I found the other doc that was on the laserdisc release. But where o where is the almost 2 hour ALL NEW A&E doc? Did Universal make an OOOOPS, or am I stupid? Don't answer that.
Only giving this one-star to Universal Studios and the endless freaking commercials, not the movie. 
2008-10-29 - I was so excited when this special edition came out, I bought it right away. As I did with many other old faves. I might as well have been sitting in the theatre, wasting all of my popcorn and soda on the commercials and previews. By the time the main feature finally comes on, I am out of snacks and I have to pee. I will always love this movie, and the extra "where are they now" was cool. But you can find out where they are now by going online. Seriously, as another reviewer suggested, buy the original cut if you don't own this movie yet.
A classic movie worth your time
2008-09-15 - I love this movie and so will you. All though my college life was nothing like this, it makes me long for toga parties, food fights and road trips. There are so many memorable scenes that you only have to watch the movie several times before you can qoute all the characters.
If you have any sort of sense of humor and enjoy older movies than I insist that you buy Animal House you will not regret it.
I must admit...
2008-08-30 - ...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!
It's a classic!
5 stars.
Sit through the previews. Take that time to run to the kitchen. Come back and enjoy one of the all time great American comedies.
