Classic comedy film. Great jokes and full of good physical comedy too. Acting is decent. Story covers a caricature of college life.

Amazingly contemporary still. Iconic characters we all know. Punctures authority so well - isn’t that what we all want? Very funny too!

Classic college movie. Even set in the 50s this movie till rocks for all college generations…maybe beside GenZ…they hate everything

Every modern R-rated comedy is indebted to Animal House. Nothing mind blowing here, but the cast brings the charm hard.

While the movie is good there’s just a ton of stuff that did not age well at all

As I write this review, I am wearing a “College” shirt. Watch it.

Rude, crass, and tasteless but still incredibly funny. Cast is great and work fantastically together.

A classic, no doubt, that essentially created the irreverent college movie genre. A tad cynical at times, but that's it.

Outrageous from start to finish. Definitely the funniest movie of the 70s
