Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The movie is vulgar, raunchy, ribald, and occasionally scatological. It is also the funniest comedy since Mel Brooks made The Producers.

fresh:
National Lampoon's Animal House is by no means one long howl, but it's often very funny, with gags that are effective in a dependable, all-purpose way.

fresh:
There's enough bite and bawdiness to provide lots of smiles and several broad guffaws.

The Lampoon people understand the darkest secret of an American college education: one of the noblest reasons to go is to spend four years studying sex.

rotten:
While the low comedy is undeniably effective, the film leaves behind a bad taste of snobbery and petty meanness.
