I'm told Animal House is a classic. I've got no idea why, but hey; who am I to argue? Anyhoo. It's not very funny. Even such a boring comedy guy like me have seen plenty of college movies were I've laughed a lot. I didn't here. The story is also on the weaker side, even considering the kind of comedy this is supposed to be.
Boys will be boys, and that's why you can always count on topless women to appear in these movies. Hi, I don't complain. Those naked breasts appearing every so often was sadly enough the most interesting part of this movie. You can put as much pornography as you like on the internet, but nudity in movies will still salvage something in the worst cases. Adding the fact it was made in 1978, there's not a lot of silicon to be seen. That fact is almost worth one notch on the rating scale alone.
Kevin Bacon, John Belushi and Tim Matheson is amongst those appearing, who we've been more familiarized with later on in their careers. Here their presence doesn't help along this movie set in the early 60's at a college campus. At least not in my case. At least I've seen it now, and I'll for eternity be familiar with the origin of 'double secret probation'.
