[A] B-movie fantasy schlock, surrealist romp, and adolescent dream romance...

Underneath its chipper, anything-for-laughs grin, ROCK 'N' ROLL is as subversive as teen movies get, with an ending that, for all its absurdity, is still surprisingly shocking. -- Grade: A-

Rating: 2.5/5 -- The pity is that with a bit more care and flair, it could have been a really sweet little movie. Full Review

... a pure, cheerfully juvenile blast of blitzkrieg guitar rock, Looney Tunes sight gags, teenage hormones and rebellion against authority because it's there. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- We may never again see a teen comedy in which a school can explode and the movie can still be considered essentially good-hearted. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/5 -- It's not like Rock 'N' Roll High School was pioneering brilliant cinema, but it is a brilliant little piece of work within its own framework. Full Review

Product Description:

In this campy, classic musical tribute to the rock legends the Ramones, the students of Vince Lombardi High School are a wild and rebellious bunch who are sick of sitting in school--they want to go see the Ramones in concert. With the lowest academic scores in Southern California and pathetic athletic teams that haven't won a game in years, the school's last three principals had nervous breakdowns and were committed to the funny farm. But that's no concern to the kids, who just want to rock. Riff Randall, the leader of the frisky students, writes the song "Rock 'N' Roll High School" and leads a brigade of her peers to a Ramones concert. However, when a fierce new principal cracks the whip and attempts to silence the rock music by burning stacks of the students' records, a riot breaks out. The Ramones arrive at school and join forces with the students to take over the school and, in a glorious exclamation of victory, burn it down. The terrific soundtrack includes such Ramones favorites as "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Pinhead," and "Teenage Lobotomy" in addition to the title track.
