1978
★ 6.2 editorial score
Made for three million and returned more than a hundred: every campus comedy since is a footnote to it, and John Belushi carries whole scenes with almost no dialogue.
“The movie is vulgar, raunchy, ribald, and occasionally scatological. It is also the funniest comedy since Mel Brooks made The Producers. Because it finds some kind of precarious balance between insanity and accuracy, between cheerfully wretched excess and an ability to reproduce the most revealing nuances of human behavior.”
