Roger Corman produced this Allan Arkush film about a young woman who attends Vince Lombardi High and tries to get concert tickets to see her favorite group, The Ramones. P.J. Soles as Riff Randall is a show stealer and probably her best performance ever.
Some classic rock tunes from the 70's are featured such as Smoking In the Boys Room but the real gold is the Ramones singing such hits as Teenage Labotomy and I Don't Want To Be A Pinhead. Wow, such cool stuff.
Mary Woronov stars as Miss Togar, the very strict new Principle of the school and Paul bartell is simply fabulous as the music teacher who also loves Rock N' Roll music.
Shout Factory brings this gem to DVD in an excellent version with tons of extras and interviews with PJ Soles, Roger Corman, Allan Arkush and more. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and one of the best releases of the year so far.
The DVD is dedicated to the memory of Joey, Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre.
