19505 is convinced that rock music is about as healthy as the bubonic plague That establishes the films battlelines as clearly as World War II newsreei the kids versus the adults This is classic stuff from the 19505 up dated to the 19705 Rock Roll High School caters to the antischool daydreams of the 13 to 16 year olds for two hours and then gives everyone kick when the kids finally take over the school and welcome The Ramones as resident rock stars Rock Roll High School tells us nothing new about the youth culture rock and roll or life in American high schools We know kids like rock and know lot of adults hate it The scene where Miss Togar sets fire to pile of Ramone records is wish fulfillment for adults but doubt that any adults are going to be in the audience to see it FILLED WITH GAGS The film is twohour cliche filled with enough sight gags adolescent jokes and rock songs to keep the teenagers in terested To compete with TV the film rushes from one scene to the next with all the grace and intelligence of bad sit com Some of the jokes con nect Tom the jock is so bor ing his brother thinks hes an only child but most of them dont And the concert scenes featuring the Ramones dont even come close to cap turing the essence of live rock and roll But the kids in the audience loved it Theres nothing to think about when you watch this flm its geared to the mentality of the average 13 yearold and whether or not they realize it thats subtle insult Rock and roll has nothing to do with real life its just harmless escape for kids who love to danc BUFFET STYLE Roast dééf 225
