riff randell be a wildly and obsess fan of the rock group while the ramones and so be most of the student in the school . but a new tyrant of a principal and ms. togar think rock n roll be a bad influence on the student and especially the music from the ramones . so and when riff find out theyre perform in town and she skip class for a couple of day to get ticket for herself and her friend . but when ms. togar discovers why she really take those day off she confiscate the ticket . while and this be happen tom robert be totally love struck over riff and but riff friend kate rambeau feel the same way about tom . but riff have her eye set only on the lead singer joe ramone and hopefully in get to that concert to get them to play her song . fun . fun . fun . yep and that right rock n roll high school doesn not drift away from it main focus a boisterously and daggy romp . it wasn not what i be expect and that for sure . everyone participate in this dandy project look like theyre have a great time and the relaxing nature of it show on screen with the energy provide such a glowing spirit and which make it a priceless experience . that not to say i think it art and the plot be as pointless a can be . but watch this passionately and crazy ride that escalate into some good harmless high jinks and i just couldn not wipe the grin off my face . it tacky and very cheesy and densely chaotic and but damn it funky dory . this low budget and b grade feature from producer roger corman and john dante who be co writer ( and plus he co direct some scene when director allan arkush be hospitalise on the last day shoot ) . be basically a glorious homage on the rock 1950s flick by stick with the fruitful clichés and throw into the stew the teenage rebellion tag because of the generation gap between them and the adult ( who always know best ) . these feature might not be particularly fresh and but they do rack up some appeal because of the dynamically and gusto treatment . the film have just one thing on mind and to go out on a bang . and they manage to do that . courtesy of the ramones and who play themselves . really and you could say it one big trendy video clip and since it all about the ramones well and most of it anyway . i see a lot flack towards the ramones act ability . these be musician not actor and which mean it not about their acting here and it the music be suppose to dig . theyre here to perform . which and they deliver in that front with some kick as track that pepper the film to create a totally upbeat vibe . especially and their flamboyant concert performance . the buzzing soundtrack also have some killer tune from some other artist such a devo and the velvet underground and mc5 and fleetwood mack and eddie and the hot rod and alice cooper . but these jump track fit in well with the carefree feel and even the score be work in rather well . especially in the scene involve ms. togar with the score grasp the right mood that surround her mind set . the playful mood of the film be pretty much like a roller coaster ride with such a racy pace between the electrify tune and comical segment range from scatter slapstick routine to it sometimes clever and tongue in cheek dialogue . throw in for good measure be a variety of light and heavy gag and which i find very pleasurable and it give it such a wider range to express itself . what else give the film an added boost have to be the divine pj sol ( good know for her performance in halloween ) and who give such a bang up performance a the peachy riff randell . other exemplary performance be dey young and a the extremely cute kate rambeau and vincent van patten a the gawky tom robert and the go to man eaglebauer who stupendously play by clint howard . also some top drawer corman regular pop up with great send up performance by mary woronov who excellent a the demand ms. togar who push her unfair reign on the student and paul bartel a mr. mcgree and a small support role from dick millar towards the end . the enthusiastic acting be pretty campy and but that go down well with the material and there a certain likability stem from these character and but we totally despise ms. togar and her hall monitor goon . there no beating around the bush here when i say rock n roll high school be an intoxicating hoot and of a rad time .
