National Lampoon's Animal House - 7 stars out of 10

National Lampoon's Animal House - 7 stars out of 10

This is truly a classic from which many movies have taken inspiration.  This movie is all about the stereotyped characters and putting them into ridiculous situations.  From Belushi's ladder outside of the sorority house to the TOGA!!!, this movie does a great job of mocking the Greek system.  From the very start when the frat guys are putting all of the losers in the corner, the comedy never falters.  John Belushi has so many great scenes like the food line in the cafeteria, or the fact that he utters no more than 20 words throughout the movie then suddenly bursts into his nonsensical speech.  Tom Hulce is fantastic as he gets absorbed into the Greek life.  Even Karen Allen sports a great role in her film debut.  If you haven't seen this one, you're missing out on a piece of movie history.
