He writes that &#8220;a strong following has kept it one of the most popular of the midnight movies&#8221;, but I&#8217;m curious if that designation still stands. Peary notes that the film is &#8220;full of nonsensical humor&#8221;, but &#8220;lacks diabolically conceived outrageousness and sick humor&#8221; &#8212; indeed, he argues it &#8220;needs more bawdiness and, better, raunchiness in spots&#8221;: while it&#8217;s &#8220;fun watching fascist monitors demand hall passes, watching rebellious students throwing &#8216;Tuesday Surprise&#8217; at the cooks, and Woronov threatening Soles with &#8216;detention for life!'&#8221;, there&#8217;s &#8220;not enough of this.&#8221; He asserts that the &#8220;best thing about this film is the high-spirited cast headed by Soles, bebopping and high-kicking non-stop,&#8221; and notes that the Ramones &#8220;are amusing in this film and fun to watch while performing&#8221;.
