There is lots of inappropriate behavior by the teens, so I assume a lot of folks wouldn't understand the film. Overall, for enjoyability I'd give this one a 7. My favorite goofy parts were every minute Clint Howard was in the film as well as every time a mouse appeared as well! You just have to see the film to understand what I mean. My advice is to ignore the plot, listen to the songs and enjoy the goofy moments. But it's nice they were in the film because although there isn't a plot, it is nice to hear their songs-and many of their best songs. After all, they had no respect for authority (that was their shtick) and yet here they appear in a film that is filled with LOTS of lameness. I am a huge Ramones fan and STILL am amazed they agreed to do the movie. And, that really is THE plot of the film-in addition to including the punk group The Ramones. The principal is a fun-hating fascist and the students are mostly interested in sex, drugs and rock and roll. The film is set at Vince Lombardi High School. While I don't think the film is wonderful, it's far more than just a cheap-o film-there are some things about it that are actually rather enjoyable. But it's also a cult film-one that has some very devoted fans. Corman managed to make a ton of money on nearly every one of his 400 or so films-mostly because with minuscule budgets, it was practically impossible NOT to make money! So when you watch the film, don't expect an Oscar-contender! It's just a very cheap film that was intended for a very narrow audience.teens. And, the film is just cheap-very, very cheap-which isn't surprising since it's a Roger Corman film. The acting ranges from very bad to very broad-and there isn't much else.
