Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979)

My rating: 4/10

It's a 70s teen comedy, so of course it's rapey as fuck in parts, and if the script crawled any further up the Ramones' collective asses they'd be unable to perform due to all the paper stuck in their teeth, but I guess the soundtrack's pretty good.
