Riff Randell (P.J. Soles) is the biggest Ramones fan at Vince Lombardi High School, but her plans to liberate her dance-crazy classmates with tickets to see the band are put in danger when the dictatorial new school principal Evelyn Togar (Mary Woronov) declares a moratorium on rock 'n' roll. This Roger Corman-produced youthsploitation effort was pitched for Cheap Trick but gloriously retrofitted for the brothers from Queens. Like an issue of Mad Magazine come to life, Rock 'n' Roll High School never relents in its wall-to-wall silliness, a cyclone of bad puns, and dopey site gags. You're never too old to be a teenage lobotomy.
