Toga! Toga! Toga! If you just read those three simple words, drew up a mental picture of John Belushi and smiled, you WILL be at this screening. If not, you MUST be at this screening. Without
National Lampoon's Animal House and its mix of raunchy comedy, manic energy and testosterone fuelled hijinx, there would be no
American Pie, no
Old School and no
The Hangover. Simply put, the history of comedy on film is divided in two: before
Animal House and after
Animal House. Bluto, Dorfman, Flounder and the boys of the Delta Tau Chi fraternity did things on screen that were previously unthinkable—food fights, wild parties and utter disdain for authority. With this masterpiece, the warped minds of National Lampoon broke all the existing rules, turning comedy on its head, and creating a film that is as fresh and funny now as it was 40 years ago.
