Advantages: Very funny in places

Disadvantages: Lots of swearing

This is a very funny film and starred the late great John Belushi.

It is set in a 1950's American University and focuses on the antice os a fraternity house which has a really bad reputation for holding wid booze filled parties, poor academic grades and for taking advantage of young female students.

Dean Wormer who runs the University is determined to get the fraternity kicked off campus and he uses the the members of an ultra snobish fraternity to try and set up the lads to get them kicked out.

This is a very funny film whch essentially plays out as series of small setches that are linked togeher into a loosely based story. There is a certain amount of nudity and lots of bad language and images of drug taking although this is confined to pot.

It alsi has a brilliant sound track with some great fifties rock and roll and tamla motown music, the toga party scene is excellent and my favourite scee within that is the talking devil and angel as one of the students conscience.

Belushi is very funny although the hard drnking character he plays is basically an extension of his personal life and the demons that he dislays were ultimately the ones that cost himhis life.

Summary: Teen comedy
