Rock 'n' Roll High School

1h 33m • Comedy, Musical, Cult • 1979

AroView: Pop-crazy student and ‘Ramones’ no. 1 fan, Riff Randell (PJ Soles) fights for her right to party against dragon-lady principal Togar (Mary Woronov) in this knowing update of the 50s rock ‘n’ roll movie format, packed with infectious energy and subversive wit.

Joey Ramone and his bro’s play it straight in both their acting and music, while hindsight all too clearly reveals the fickle nature of pop. An utter blast.
