Rude, crude and raunchy but also consistently good humoured and almost consistently funny. This is a film that it is impossible to commend but whilst it should have sunk into oblivion long ago, it still has enough consumer appeal to remain readily available. In fact it is even well on its way to becoming a cult classic. The reason is partly of course that most of us enjoy any film about underdogs who are being abused by their more successful contemporaries but find a way to strike back and earn their place in the sun. None of us can hope for a continually successful life without setbacks, and such films provide necessary encouragement at these times. This was an early example, and it may even have saved a few unhappy young nerds in unsympathetic Colleges from suicidal thoughts. So roll on ROTN, continue to earn new DVD releases and to maintain a user rating that remains just above the unviewable range. - 5 stars is probably about fair.
