While the low comedy is undeniably effective, the film leaves behind a bad taste of snobbery and petty meanness.

The Lampoon people understand the darkest secret of an American college education: one of the noblest reasons to go is to spend four years studying sex.

There's enough bite and bawdiness to provide lots of smiles and several broad guffaws.

National Lampoon's Animal House is by no means one long howl, but it's often very funny, with gags that are effective in a dependable, all-purpose way.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

The movie is vulgar, raunchy, ribald, and occasionally scatological. It is also the funniest comedy since Mel Brooks made The Producers.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
