Although this film first came out when I was in the fifthe grade, it really became a part of my life in high school when I and my freinds would play it every single day. We always got up and bounced around the room during the scene when the Ramones drive down the street singing 'Just wanna have something to do'. I still quote this film and no one ever knows what I'm talking about. It's worth noting that Phil Spector produced the soundrack and there are a couple of songs that appear on no other Ramones albums but in this film and the soundtrack album. Specifically 'I want you around' and the smix of the fake live version of 'Rock n Roll High School' which is better than on End of the Century. It's got the the usual Roger Corman crew of Mary Wornov and Paul Bartel, as well as notable appearences by Clint Howard and Vincent Van Patten. But best of all it has the Ramones who clearly are too incoherant to utter any intelligable lines, but absolutely rock every scene they are in.

This movie was made by Roger Corman, the king of the drive-in movies. By itself, that should be a high enough recommendation, but I have long believed that this is the single greatest rock¿n¿roll movie ever made. It¿s funny, smart, cockeyed, sly, and best of all, it has the Ramones. The plot of the film is so convoluted that there is no easy way to summarize it, so I won¿t try here, but if I were to ever meet a being from another planet and was asked what rock¿n¿roll was all about, this is one of only two or three movies that I¿d be able to show them to help with the explanation. The film gets extra points for casting the delectable P.J. Soles as Riff, the hyperhormonal Ramones groupie/suburban princess. This might not be the greatest movie ever made, but it is surely one of the funniest, and Corman¿s craft as filmmaker for the kiddies is never more apparent than it is here. When this little number was shown at heartland drive-in theatres, people crawled out of their car's back seats and actually watched the screen.
