Product Description
One of the most popular movie comedies of all time is also the film that made John Belushi a star. This raunchy, screwball comedy directed with madcap zest by John Landis offers a relentless spoof of 1960s college life by following the hilarious adventures of the Delta fraternity. In addition to Belushi as Bluto Blutarsky, the outstanding cast includes Tim Matheson, Tom Hulce, Stephen "Flounder" Furst, Karen Allen, Donald Sutherland, Peter Riegert, and Kevin Bacon, along with Otis Day and the Knights with their show-stopping performance of 'Shout.'

gamberro de las fraternidades.
Zudem gilt die Komödie als eine der profitabelsten Filme überhaupt, denn mit einem relativ sparsamen Budget von 2,8 Millionen Dollar konnte man weltweit mehr als 141 Millionen Dollar Bruttoeinnahmen erzielen.
Besonders beliebt ist der Film natürlich bei den Amis selbst, er wird dort als einer der größten Komödien angesehen und steht in der berühmten AFI Liste der besten amerikanischen Kömödien auf Platz 36.
Die Geschichte führt uns zurück ins Jahr 1962. Dort versuchen die Lawrence-College Neulinge Larry Kroger (Tom Hulce) und Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst) einer Studenten-Bruderschaft der Faber High beizutreten. Doch die Aufnahmebedingungen sind hart. Sie besuchen sogar eine Party der rennomierten Omega Theta Pi, sind aber dort spontan richtige Aussenseiter. Vor allem der dickliche Kent macht einen schlechten Eindruck. Hier haben Eliteschüler wie Gregory Marmalard (James Daughton), Douglas C. Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf) oder Chip Miller (Kevin Bacon) die Oberhand und vor allem der begeisterte Reiter Marmalard schikaniert den armen Kent bei jeder sich bietenden Gelegenheit. Das lobt man dann schon die eher lockere Art der Konkurrenzverbindung: Im Delta Tau Chi Hause herrscht nämlich der ständige Wahnsinn. Kein Wunder bei den Bossen wie Eric "Otter" Stratton (Tim Matheson), Donald Schoen (Peter Riegert) oder dem verrückten "Bluto" (John Belushi), der mit einem Notendurchschnitt von 0,0 die Negativrekorde der Universitäts-Geschichtsbücher anführt und Alkohol im Exzess verschlingt. Natürlich hat der Dekan (John Vernon) diese subversive Studentenvereinigungen, die ständig Regeln bricht, auf der Abschußliste. Als die gesamten Deltas die Zwischenprüfung fatal verhauen, braucht er nur noch einen Zwischenfall um drastische Maßnahmen wie Rauswürfe zu verhängen. Doch die Deltas vertreiben sich inzwischen die Zeit mit Partys und den Mädels (u.a. Karen Allen, Sarah Holcomb, Mary Louise Weller, Martha Smith), guten Soulsängern (De Wayne Jessie), bekifften Paukern (Donald Sutherland) und der Vorbereitung zur Homecoming Party der Stadt, die natürlich im Fiasko endet..Kritikerpapst Roger Ebert feierte den Filmspass als Meisterwerk und war ganz begeistert von dieser College-Satire. Für die gewisse Respektlosigkeit gibts Bonuspunkte, dazu schafft es der Film völlig unpolitisch zu wirken, denn er klammert die umwälzenden Themen der 60er, die auch an den Unis der USA Protestbewegungen auslösten, zumindest vordergründig völlig aus. Dennoch sind manche Szenen geradezu Zukunftsvisionen einer weniger rassistischen Gesellschaft: Die Deltas verbringen ihre Abende in sogenannten "Negerkneipen" und mit ihren unkonventionellen Methoden sind sie der revolutionäre Gegenpart eines gehobenen Etabishments der Spießbürger. Ja, mir hat der Film jetzt auch richtig Spass gemacht. Hinter der Klamotte steckt doch einiges an brisanten Themen.
Ziwischen 4 und 5 Sternen.
