I'd rather just watch a Ramones concert movie

Honestly, wasn't that the only point of the movie, to see the Ramones play? What else does this movie have going for it? Lets see... the script seams like it was written on a paper napkin in the car on the way to the movie set, the jokes are so unfunny that they actually make you sad, and hell, even the in concert footage for most of it the lyrics weren't timed right with when Joey's lips were moving. I don't care how big of a Ramones fan you are, don't see this waste of celluloid and go rent a concert movie or End of the Century. The Ramones deserved better.

You make a good point. I love the Ramones. I have 'End of the century' and 'Raw' but i still love 'Rock and Roll high school.' Considering the ramones are no longer around, i appreciate any Ramones footage or appearance whatsoever. We're never going to see anything new come out so regardless of anything in the past, good or bad of the ramones, i'll take it and love it.

I agree about the concert being the best, but the corny cheesy horrible script is why I enjoyed it second. It seems very fitting for the Ramones. I guess if you want to see something that'll make you laugh ((because of how bad it is, which is the greatness of it)) rent this. Music, then End of the Century.
