"A groundbreaking screwball caper, 1978's National Lampoon's Animal House was in its own way a rite of passage for Hollywood. Set in 1962 at Faber College, it follows the riotous carryings-on of the Delta Fraternity, into which are initiated freshmen Tom Hulce and Stephen Furst. Among the established house members are Tim Matheson, Peter Riegert and the late John Belushi as Bluto, a belching, lecherous, Jack Daniels guzzling maniac. A de ..."
"Before he became an overrated filmmaker, Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) was a reporter for Rolling Stone who was so youthful looking that he could go undercover for a year at a California high school and write a book about it. He wrote the script for this film, based on that book, and it launched the careers of several young actors, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold, Phoebe Cates, and, above all, Sean Penn. The story line is ..."
"This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad tast ..."
"One of the most popular movie comedies of all time is also the film that made food fights an art form and John Belushi a star. This raunchy, screwball comedy directed with madcap zest by John Landis offers a relentless spoof of 1960s college life by following the hilarious adventures of the Delta fraernity. There's nothing this motley collection of students won't do to get the best of Dean Wormer who secretly conspires to revoke Delta's ..."

"Ich glaub, mich tritt ein Pferd ist einer dieser Filme, die aus all den falschen Gründen gut ankommen -- er ist abstoßend und geistig anspruchslos und besitzt einen primitiven Humor, für den wir uns alle viel zu schade sind. Verraten Sie also niemandem, dass Sie sich trotzdem halb totlachen können, wenn John Belushi in der Rolle des viehischen Bluto Wackelpudding schlabbert oder seine weniger aggressiven Mitstudenten terrorisiert. Dies ..."

"Un conseil : si vous n'aimez pas Jack Nicholson, allez voir ailleurs ! Mais qui ne l'aime pas ? Aussi "hénaurme" soit-il, comme c'est le cas ici, il parvient toujours à nous impressionner durablement, par ses excès et sa démesure. Ce qui s'appelle avoir un style. Pour son deuxième film en tant que réalisateur, après Vas-y fonce, il dépoussière le western pour en donner une vision picaresque et gargantuesque, à l'image de Missouri Breaks ..."

"Watching this director's cut, it's finally possible to see why the studio made Spielberg mercilessly hack up this comedy: it's a screaming movie (everyone screams a lot), and screaming movies do not need character development. So all those character-development scenes hit the cutting-room floor and, surprise, they were all critical to Spielberg's pace for the humor in this film. The screaming wasn't that funny then--and it still isn't-- ..."

"An mehreren Stellen der DVD wechselt die Sprache auf den englischen Originalton. Diese Originalszenen wurden nicht synchronisiert, dies ist laut Hersteller so beabsichtigt. Inhalt: Nachdem die beiden Komiker Dan Aykroyd und John Belushi ihre Figuren, die legendären Blues Brothers, in der nicht minder legendären US-Comedy-Show Saturday Night Live populär gemacht hatten, verlegten sie ihre Betätigungsfeld 1980 auf die große Leinwand. Die ..."

"After building up the duo's popularity through popular recordings and several performances on Saturday Night Live, John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd--as "legendary" Chicago blues brothers Jake and Elwood Blues--took their act to the big screen in this action-packed hit from 1980. As Jake and Elwood struggle to reunite their old band and save the Chicago orphanage where they were raised, they wreak enough good-natured havoc to attract the ent ..."
