Nick O @Nicki1985 05/22/2025 The Ramones are the greatest band ever and this awesome Roger Corman classic portrays them as being as big as the Beatles. That’s the world I wanna live in!

The leader of the students, Riff Randell (P. J. Soles), is the biggest Ramones fan at the school and also the worst behavioral problem, in that her disciplinary record fills an entire filing cabinet. She waits in line for three days to get tickets to see the band, hoping to meet Joey Ramone so she can give him a song she wrote for the band, "Rock 'n' Roll High School". When the tyrannical Principal Togar takes her ticket away, Riff and her best friend Kate Rambeau have to find another way to meet their heroes: winning a radio contest... This Roger Corman high school musical comedy b-movie is a slight mess with The Ramones as the focal point. Nice to see the charming PJ Soles in the lead, but the rest is quite forgettable. Trivia: Corman originally wanted Cheap Trick or Todd Rundgren to play the band, but due to a conflict of schedules, he was forced to find an alternative. The Ramones were suggested by Paul Bartel, one of the actors in the film. (Via Wikipedia) See more Kenneth L @RT28484096 12/16/2023 I enjoyed this as a kid. Watching it as an adult was good nostalgic fun. It is by no means a good movie, but it is entertaining. See more Chris M @RT21954632 04/04/2023 Considering this was a movie to show off the Ramones someone should have told Principal Togar that it's not 1950s any more. Which makes her one note as a villain. The plot is good, not great. At the time of writing the review was the first time first time hearing the Ramones music. I'm impressed. As a vehicle for the Ramones, it does it job well. I wasn't expecting much but I was impressed. It was way better than I expected. See more Read all reviews
