Animal House 5 stars out of 5 stars

The greatest comedy of all time IMHO.Released in 1978 and running 109 minutes it tells the story of college life as real life if we only cared about sex dugs and rock and roll.We do only care about that right??The film has a rich storied past behind it as well, including the fact it was filmed on the campus of Oregon after all of California had turned it down.The reason was the head of the university had turned down The Graduate and thought this might make up for that mistake.The ending  includes typed over "where are they now's" on the characters,must be seen to be understood.My fav was,Senator and Misses Blutoski .
There may be some politically not so correct scenes such as the road trip that ends in a all black bar of the highway where a band from the frat parties is playing.But even those had a biting funny twist such as when a big black dude asks a white girl for a dance and extends a BIG black hand for her to put her little white hand into.You get the inference.You could go on and on,but I'll jut add one last favorite scene.When 2 students are getting stoned with their professor,one asks as he accepts the "roach"and is getting high for the first time in his life,"I won't go schizoid will I ?"When told it's a distinct possibility,he further asks later,"Can I buy some pot from you?"If you've never seen this film,are you from other space?If you have,it may be time to see it again if you need a good laugh.Remember,"I'm in pre law,I thought you were in pre med?,Whats the difference??
