An extremely silly and overdone comedy, the film is nevertheless still reasonably entertaining, as the songs are good, the characters are relatively fun to watch, and there are some genuine laughs along the way. The film has a thing or... Full review

Actually, much of the movie looked pretty good.
I found the monaural soundtrack of Rock n Roll High School to fare even worse.
Heavens no, but that doesnt make it a bad film.
