Animal House is the sort of film you hate yourself for laughing at. It is so gross and tasteless you feel you should be disgusted but it's hard to be offended by something that is so sidesplittingly funny. [05 Aug 1978]
Belushi also controls a wicked array of conspiratorial expressions with the audience. His smoldering pouts, crazed gleams, elevating eyebrows and erotically-contended smiles generate gleeful rabble-rousing excitement. And he can seem irresistibly funny in repose or invest minor slapstick opportunities with a streak of genius.

The cafeteria scene is perhaps the funniest sequence to ever be caught on film.

I saw this when it first came out. FUNNY and now a classic. John Belushi at his very best. The entire cast was funny.

this movie is mad fun. it's also very self-aware. it doesn't want to be deep. it's a crazy spectacle and i wouldn't want it any other way.

Animal House is one of the funniest movies I've seen so far. I would rate the comedy a nine out of ten, but the movie as a whole was more of an eight out of ten, just because the movie wasn't perfect.

A funny movie this is. The acting is also pretty good, and a lot of the scenes are well directed, including the ones that aren't even funny. Though not as funny as I expected, it is still a good movie.

This movie is sexist, racist, and homophobic. It is very outdated and also misogynistic.
