Forget Caddyshack, Stripes, or any of the new "great" comedies like Pineapple Express or Tropic Thunder - Animal House is the great grand dad of them all. Simply put - the greatest comedy of all time. There has never been a movie with more quotable lines. Way ahead of its time, it stands up well 30 years later. A must see for any young people who have never had the pleasure. But only watch an unedited version.
Wow. The best movie I saw in 2008. Stunning. Masterfully constructed. Great acting by all of the child actors. A beautiful story of survival, love, and the human spirit. The only negative - the stupid dance video after the movie. I was trying to process what I had just witnessed, and while in deep thought about the impact of what I had just seen on screen, a bad music video breaks out (???)
A little had to believe the guy didn;t have "any" male friends - but getting past the premise, it was very watchable and funny. A movie a guy can take his wife or girlfriend to but not fall asleep or wish he was somewhere else. Good chemistry among the cast members. Could have seen more of Rashida Jones - her future is bright. Could jumpstart Paul Ruud's career. Jason Segel was the same character he always is. Supporting cast was great.
