![]() ![]() ![]() Animal House is filled with cheaters who take nothing seriously and then complain when the administration holds them accountable. You might not like the snobs in Omega Theta Pi but at least they’re good students. Even if you overlook them, the picture’s general attitude just doesn’t sit well today. I can’t blame anyone who gets offended at the homophobic jokes - all I can say is that’s just the way things were back then - or the racist jokes - times were different but things have changed, I swear. It’s one rape joke too many but then there's another not too far away. Animal House has a scene in which a character has to seriously consider why having sex with an unconscious woman is a bad idea. The problem is how many moments of this nature we see. The college students we see are all parading in their underwear while having a pillow fight, which is so outlandish it's funny. If it were just one scene of Bluto peeking through a window to see ladies changing, it might be ok. While the film doesn’t contain the kind of rampant misogyny many of its imitators attempted to mine for comedy (such as Porky’s)… it’s still got a problematic attitude towards women. I just need to say “the horse” and you start to crack up. It’s essentially a series of sketches, many of which you see once and never forget. New pledges Larry Kroger (Tom Hulce) and Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst), the legendary John "Bluto" Blutarsky, motorcyclist/mechanic Daniel Simpson "D-Day" Day (Bruce McGill), chapter president Robert Hoover (James Widdoes), ladies’ man Eric "Otter" Stratton (Tim Matheson), and the only one with a steady girlfriend, Donald "Boon" Schoenstein (Peter Riegert) all go on the kind of adventures that you can’t believe someone committed to film in 1978. For 109 minutes, we follow various members of the fraternity as they go wild. Its members are nothing but hard-partying, womanizing delinquents with low grade point averages and a knack for disobedience - unlike the prestigious, snooty, elitist Omega Theta Pi house, who hate them just as much as the Dean does.Īnimal House doesn't have much of a plot. In 1962, Faber College’s Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon) is fed up with the Delta Tau Chi "Animal House" Fraternity. ![]() It’s also horribly dated - we’re talking Breakfast at Tiffany’s dated - which makes it hard to recommend unless you’re from a certain era, or watching it for academic reasons. It’s unapologetically vulgar and crass, memorable and often hilarious. Countless films have either imitated its style or attempted to one-up its hijinks. You can see its influence in the many raunchy and gross-out comedies that attempted to ride on its coattails after its release. National Lampoon’s Animal House is an important movie. Unable to convince his mom that the doll is responsible for the carnage, Andy becomes the target of the bloodthirsty Chucky! ![]() But Chucky’s safety restrictions have been disabled, and soon, a gruesome series of events unfolds.
