Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must have for all Ramones fans!
Review: Yeah, the movie is silly and campy, but it's a must have for all Ramones fans! It has lots of live performances, and the DVD has a few extra goodies on the Ramones as well. This movie is great fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: True to themselves...........
Review: Thats what I love about the RAMONES. They never wavered and remained the ultimate garage band. They could have sold out and went for the big bucks and top 40 sound. But they refused to kiss [rear] and instead continued to kick it. To sum up the RAMONES career stratagey, watch this movie. Its in your face and flippin you the bird, just like the RAMONES. Fun, light, easy need I say more

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best movie ever!
Review: This is the best movie ever! It has really cool, fun scenes. Especially at the end. Everybody is really funny. Everybody should see it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: R.A.M.O.N.E.S.!!
Review: This is a classic! And a tribute to one of the greatest punk bands ever, and two of its lost members (we love you Joey & DD). A cult classic to keep for all time. They don't make movies like this anymore, which is a travesty! If you don't own it- get it! Even if you're not a die hard fan of the Ramones you will love this movie, even if its just for its nostalgic appeal (notice the leg warmers).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Joey and DeeDee, we miss you!!
Review: While lacking in the plot department, anyone who appreciates good music must own this. If you are a Ramones fan like me (and now my wife), you probably already do.

Avoid the Corey Feldman sequel as if your sanity depends on it (it does).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Legends Live On
Review: With the death of Joey Ramone last year from cancer, and the death of Dee Dee Ramone yesterday, this movie, already a cult classic, will become a collector's item.

Music, humor nazi-esque principals. This movie has it all. Highly recommended to everyone who has any interest in musical history and the roots of punk rock.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hey, Ho, Let's go!
Review: Okay, so it isn't Oscar caliber, but it's definitely a great movie! This is a movie all about having fun, and the entire cast seems to be having such a blast, you can't help but enjoy it. And the soundtrack will have you up on your feet doing that odd punk rock dance (you know the one...sorta like Molly Ringwald did up on the library railing in "The Breakfast Club," only dorkier).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best cheesy movie ever!
Review: This film follows Riff Randall, a die-hard Ramones fan and someone who thinks Joey Ramone "is pretty cute" through Vince Lombardi High School. Vince Lombardi is an amazing school because not only does the whole student body break into song and dance when hearing the Ramones, but it actually beckons the Ramones to come and rock the roof off, literally. But the catch is the evil, oppressive new principal- a Ramones/Rock n Roll hater.

Then The Ramones concert his their town and Riff camps out for 3 days to be first in line, leading up to a cool concert and The Ramones bombarding her high school and overthrowing all authority.

Not exactly Oscar-worthy, but it doesn't have to be. The Ramones are somehow brilliant and lovable even when eating pizza.

If you hate the Ramones, don't see this. If you just like them, prepare to LOVE them forever.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Ramones kick!!
Review: I own Rock and Roll Highschool. This movie is awesome!!! The Ramones totally can't act, and they give all the lines to Joey, but hey, the movie is a classic. Its got some great scenes (i love when they blow up the school) and AWESOME music. I was surprised they put music from Paul McCartney and Wings in their since Paul isn't even close to punk, but thats cool wit me cuz im a big wings fan anywayz. They put great Ramones songs in it too. ( i wish they put beat on the brat in it,i love that song but it has nuttin to do with the movie)

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Could have been a lot better..
Review: Alright, I love the Ramones. They are one of the greatest bands ever, and there first albums kicked a**. But When I saw this movie I was expecting a lot more. The acting is awful. And I'm not talking about the Ramones. PJ Soles and the Guy who play the principal seem like they are fluffing their enthusiasm. If anything, this film should have been animated like The Sex Pistols great rock and roll swindle. Not to mention they made the film when they were writing songs that sounded like 50's bubble gum pop. The film is over-all cheesy and seems like a corey feldman, or fast times at ridgemont high film. Not the type of revolutionary film-making i'd expect from a band that brang such a groundbreaking music genre. It also reminded me of Blink-182 in those American Pie Movies, and that [STINKS] because both blink and american pie [STINKS] royally. But what can I say Hard Days Night, and all other music films [STINK] as well. So just get this movie to see the Ramones. The Ramones still kick serious...
