It ain't exactly my kind of music and it's not O'Neill or Shakespeare, but the film is amusing and harmless.Īnd the ending is the dream of a lot of teenagers.«Gabba! Gabba! Hey!» - эти крики знакомы любителям панка. Stylistically Rock 'N' Roll High School borrows from A Hard Day's Night and from Grease and the mix is good. Of course all this is an excuse to play a whole lot of Ramone songs including the title song of this film. He plays the same kind of goofy teenager that David Cassidy did on The Partridge Family. Here it gets a bit ridiculous because I can't believe Vincent Van Patten couldn't get any female or gay male if that was what he might want. There's a subplot going involving young Vincent Van Patten looking for some sex from somewhere.
But in Mary Woronov as principal Togar, she's got a ruthless adversary. Soles who has dedicated her life to spreading the gospel of The Ramones to her peers. It involves new school principal Miss Togar from the Ilsa Koch's Buchenwald school of education trying to restore some discipline to Vince Lombardi High School. There's no plot in this anarchistic film by Roger Corman, but that's part of the fun. And if you do nothing that I or any other reviewer says will influence you in the slightest degree. If you're not a fan of the post disco music scene that The Ramones represented you're probably not going to like Rock "N" Roll High School. Reviewed by bkoganbing 5 / 10 Spreading The Ramone Gospel Accompanied by a great rock soundtrack featuring some of THE RAMONES best songs, this film allows a viewer to accept a time in life when war didn't dominate headlines and people just had a good time. To be honest, I didn't want the party to end! Not conventional in any way whatsoever, this film just let's loose a frenzy. The ending pretty much sums up the film as a whole.Riff and her classmates take over the high school and one massive party begins. It's like someone just says, "Let's make life fun for 1½ hours." The film really is anarchy.a plot-less chaos lovingly adoring THE RAMONES with all it's heart(even if they are horrible actors, they have an opportunity to gain new audiences with this film). His office is located in the boy's restroom! Paul Bartel is also hilarious as a music teacher who becomes an ally of Riff's when he enjoys a concert of THE RAMONES.Ī raucous high school romp that defies all rules of normalcy.and I loved it. Clint Howard steals the film almost(honestly, who can steal this film away from Soles?)as Eaglebauer, "the supplier" who can get everyone almost anything. Kate is crazy about Tom.if only he could pull his head out of the sand and see it. Vincent Van Patten has a hilarious role as Tom Roberts, a success at everything, but getting laid. Pal Kate Rambeau(Dey Young, whose big rimmed glasses and nerdy role can not hide her stunning beauty)joins forces with Riff to put an end to the supposed crisis of killing rock'n'roll for good which is Togar's desired mission. Complications ensue which challenge that goal in delightful rock'n'roller Riff Randell(PJ Soles who lights up the screen-she's got a hot bod, too)who is an obsessive fan of the punk band THE RAMONES. Reviewed by Scarecrow-88 10 / 10 Gabba Gabba Heyįascist principal Miss Togar(Mary Woronov, who is lensed by expert photographer Dean Cundy as if she were ten feet tall)has a plan to turn her high completely square. When the police are summoned and demand that the students evacuate the building, they do so, which leads to an explosive finale. When Miss Togar and a group of parents attempt to burn a pile of rock records, the students take over the high school, joined by the Ramones, who are made honorary students. A new principal, the rock-music-hating Miss Evelyn Togar, is brought in and promises to put an end to the music craze. The putative leader of the students is Riff Randell, who loves the music of the Ramones. Vince Lombardi High School keeps losing principals to nervous breakdowns because of the students' love of rock 'n' roll and their disregard of education.
