The moptop Ramones liberate a school from killjoy Principal Togar (Mary Woronov) in this sweetly rambunctious romp starring P.J. Soles (Halloween) as lead rebel of the student body. The innocent music-fueled anarchy (directed by a veteran of music scenes in New York and Los Angeles, Allan Arkush) anticipates the crushes and indignities of the imminent 1980s wave of teen comedies. Additional tunes by Paul McCartney, Devo, Alice Cooper, and Chuck Berry. “Could your school be next?”
