Summary: America As It Should Be
Review: This is one of the greatest movies of all time! It shows an exaggerated version of America as it should be ... not this repressed, over-litigated Hell in which we live today.

Summary: Animal House: A Comedy Classic
Review: This is one of the top comedy movies ever made.
If, like me, you lived any similar kind of experience as that of Animal House, you will immediately feel the link back to those times. At my university back in the 60's and 70's, there was an Animal House (and that's exactly what it was commonly called) and it wasn't ours (but we were close!).
The casting was perfectly done for this movie, the acting and script are well done and not only Belushi is great.
If you're thin-skinned, you might find it offensive.
Otherwise buy this movie on DVD- you'll love it.

Summary: The Animals at the House
Review: Animal House was released in 1978, runs for 109 minutes and was directed by John Landis at Universal Studios. There are numerous actors and actresses in the film, some of the most famous are: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Kevin Bacon, and Donald Sutherland.Animal House takes place in the early 60's at Farber College. This film's genre is a comedy of morals as it definitely uses ridicule to correct abuses aimed at a college fraternity. The plot of this movie is a party happy fraternity having too much of a good time with a dean that wants them gone using the "goody two shoes" fraternity against them. The climax comes when Dean Wormer kicks the whole fraternity out of college. The soundtrack to this movie is awesome for the sounds of the sixties. On a scale of one to five stars, this film is a five. Animal House is a classic comedy. It is just as funny now as it was when it was released 22 years ago. John Belushi is extremely convincing in his drunken frat role as Bluto as is Tim Matheson in his womanizing role of Otter. Even though this movie is about college life, it is also a movie with the basic concept of good against bad. The bad fraternity in the eyes of the dean are the good guys of the movie and the good fraternity in the eyes of the dean are the bad guys of the movie. It is easy to get wrapped up in cheering for the Delta house good guys. It portrays the 60's as they were with parties, students experimenting with drugs and getting stoned on pot, as well as students in "free-love" sexual situations. It is a fun movie to watch and everyone should have this movie in their home video library.

Summary: Delta's Animal House
Review: Director John Landis could not have known what he would be starting by releasing the 1978 classic that we all know of as Animal House. The setting being on the Farber college campus, where the haughty frat house sits next door to the Delta frat house. The Delta house serving as a shelter for those such as John Belushi who was in his seventh year of college and nothing to show for it, but a less than 1.0 GPA and Hoover, played by James Widdeos, Hoover just wanted to fit in! This film is a great parody on college life, certainly those of us old enough to remember the 80's and the toga parties, can appreciate this classic. I think that Tim Matheson, as Otter and his best friend Boon, played by Peter Riegert were cast for the right characters, they too did an excellent job. I must admit, for me, it is John Belushi, 'Bluto' that steals the show! He is fantastic!

Summary: TOGA, TOGA, TOGA!!!
Review: June 1, 1978 was the date Universal Studios released a huge hit, National Lampoon's Animal House. The running time on this film is 109 minutes, in color, and worth every single minute. There are several actors and actresses that starred in this film, familiar faces and up and coming stars. Just to name a few, Animal House included such names as John Belushi as John "Bluto" Blutarsky, Tim Matheson as Eric "Otter" Stratton, Kevin Bacon as Chip Diller and Donald Sutherland as "Professor Dave Jennings".
Animal House is based on the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at Dartmouth. It was to be filmed at the University of Missouri, but was filmed at the University of Oregon after the president of MU read the script and refused permission. The movie is set in the 1960's on the college campus of Faber and centers around the Delta fraternity house and their rivalry with Omega fraternity. The two houses play pranks back and forth on each other and the Omega fraternity, along with Faber College, have one goal in mind: to get the Delta fraternity kicked off campus.
A five star rating is what Animal House receives on this review due to the comedy involved and the parody about college life in fraternities. Most fraternities may not behave, these days, in such a manner as the Deltas, but the rivalry between fraternities is as true as the one between the Deltas and Omegas. Animal House does not require much thought and analysis to watch and understand, but it is as entertaining as they get!

Summary: A Classic Comedy
Review: This 1978 film by John Landis follows the wild adventures of a group of fraternities on the campus of Faber College. There are many familiar faces in Animal House, but John Belushi as "Bluto" stole the show. John Belushi's, as well as the other member's of the Delta House's, parties, food fights, cheating on test, vandalism is just a few reasons why Dean Wormer wanted to rid the campus of The Delta House. Delta House was comprised of fun-loving, sloppy, middle class guys who drank and smoked everyday and lived for pulling pranks on the Omega House Fraternity and Dean Wormer. Dean Wormer finally won the battle and kicked Delta House off the campus, but Delta House's revenge was awesome. A must see!! I give this movie 4 stars because it is truly hilarious!

Summary: Who Comes Up With This Stuff Anyway
Review: National Lampoons Animal House, 1978 Running Time: 109 minutes
Director: John Landis
Actors/ Actresses: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Karen Allen, Kevin Bacon Nation Lampoons Animal House is a screwball comedy which shows that what can go wrong will. Animal House offers a gross distortion of college life set in a 1960's background. From one disastrous event to the next viewers are pulled through the highs and lows, happenings and miss-happenings of the members of the Delta House fraternity at Faber College.
With the Omega Fraternity out to get them and Dean Wormer placing them on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION what else is there to do, but throw a toga party. With failing grades, lude public acts, and more alcohol than they know what to do with the fraternity brothers face a court hearing and a potential revoking of their charter.
After the hearing when their charter has been revoked and their fraternity house has been emptied the Delta house members needs some encouragement. Who better to offer some cheer and a rousing speech than John Belushi. With his idiotic and disgusting ways Belushi "Bluto" leads the fraternity into the ultimate revenge, the complete and total annihilation of the Faber Homecoming parade.
I give this comedy two stars. One because there were scenes in the movie which made me laugh, because they were so ridiculous and one because it was an excellent exaggeration of college life in the 60's. I simply can't rate this movie with any more stars because I a firm believer that movies should have a little more plot, focus, and purpose than this movie.
