DVD Reviews of National Lampoon's Animal House (Widescreen Double Secret Probation Edition)
DVD Review: Did not deliver
Summary: 1 Stars
Merchant sold an item he could not deliver. He returned my payment but only after I inquired as to the where-a-bouts of my purchase. Approximately a month passed.DVD Review: This movie still cracks me up!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was funny when it came out and it's still funny today--both because it's a classic movie and because I get tickled remembering how I got tickled then. My husband and I didn't grow up anywhere near each other, but we can watch this movie together now and it's as if we're about the ages we were when this came out, and time gets zipped. I laugh at the same things I laughed at then, and find he's laughing at the same things I'm laughing at. Not bad for a 30-some year old movie!DVD Review: Buyer Take Note!
Summary: 2 Stars
Buyer Take Note! I've been a fan of this movie since its theatrical release in 1978 and give the movie five stars. However, National Lampoon's Animal House 30th Anniversary Edition (30AE) is simply a re-release, and the third dip on DVD, has nothing significantly new to offer from the previous release and my rating is for the 30AE release. The two documentary extras have been carried over from the 2003 Double Secret Probation Edition (DSPE). It does return the trailer from the 1998 Collector's Edition (CE). New to this release is a lame Scene It? game. Missing are two extras from the DSPE, the Shout music video and a text commentary of anecdotes. One improvement from the DSPE is that on the 30AE you are not forced to watch movie trailers before you get to the main menu. Universal appears to be repackaging this film every five years. The 30AE should have delivered all the previous extras and an audio commentary by the director, writers and cast. The trailer is amusing, but is it worth buying the 30AE if you already own the DSPE? The deciding factors appear to be whether you want the text commentary and everything on one disc or the trailer and the same contents spread over two discs. I would say skip the 30AE if you already own the DSPE. Maybe in five years we will get an ultimate edition of this movie on whatever video format is in use then. Here's a comparison of all three versions of Animal House on DVD:

DVD Review: A True Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say that has not already been said? A true comedy classic, one of the ten funniest films ever made. And even better, it holds up well after more than 30 years, which is more than can be said of some other comedies, whose jokes and gags are based on current events. Lastly, even though you know what is coming, and often the very lines the actors are going to say, the gags are still funny!DVD Review: classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a true classic comedy. I think it's the best of the Nat. Lampoon movies.This is the blueprint for all college hijinx movies to follow.
Description of National Lampoon's Animal House (Widescreen Double Secret Probation Edition)
The delta house is scheming to keep itself from being kicked off campus and led by belushis bluto they do so without much hope--but with many laughs. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: John Belushi Kevin Bacon Run time: 109 minutes Rating: R Director: John LandisThis is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad taste of this huge box office success. (Remember all those toga parties in the '80s?) The first of the National Lampoon movies, this was originally released as National Lampoon's Animal House. Keep an eye out for a very young Kevin Bacon in his first credited screen appearance. --Rochelle O'Gorman
