Rock 'n' Roll High School Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Perhaps the highest praise anyone can give Arkush's exuberant musical is to say that it captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll and the essence of the Ramones, which luckily happen to be one and the same.

"Rock 'n' Roll High School" is out to provide a good time and great tunes, achieving most of its creative goals, especially when it comes to the sheer spirit of this irresistible comedy.

Richard Propes
It is a simple, joyous film that offers the viewer a good time and a bunch of smiles.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Thanks to a superb soundtrack, a quip-packed screenplay (my favorite: "Do your parents know you're Ramones?"), and P.J. Soles' boundless energy, it's near-impossible to resist this film's goofy charms.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
A bonafide love letter to the punk juggernauts that ruled music in the seventies and eighties.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
casting the Ramones ranks as a real coup

... a pure, cheerfully juvenile blast of blitzkrieg guitar rock, Looney Tunes sight gags, teenage hormones and rebellion against authority because it's there.

TV Guide
Nothing is taken seriously and nothing should be -- it's only rock 'n' roll.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It's more cleverly cut than shot -- which means that it moves quickly and energetically even as the concepts and characters disintegrate.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A spirited spoof on high school life.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
We may never again see a teen comedy in which a school can explode and the movie can still be considered essentially good-hearted.

Kevin Carr
It's not like Rock 'N' Roll High School was pioneering brilliant cinema, but it is a brilliant little piece of work within its own framework.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the overwhelming vibe of silliness eventually becomes exhausting.

The Ramones make Ringo Starr look like Alec Guinness

It's clear that everyone involved with this miraculous Punk Rock document, is having a great time really going for it with everything they've got. That the "Rock 'n' Roll High School" soundtrack is a truly perfect record, goes with the territory.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
This is the second greatest rock and roll movie ever made.
New York Times
John Rockwell
The pity is that with a bit more care and flair, it could have been a really sweet little movie.
