Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Art Vandelay Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are not, and never have been, funny. Decent dramatic actors. But not funny. Stiffler, or whatever his name is, is not funny. Does he even have a career anymore?Smarmy Craig Kilborn has never been funny. Is he behind the counter at a Quik- E-Mart these days? King of Queen's wife is not funny. Fat. But not funny. Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy is cute. But not funny. Old School rips off far better movies: Animal House. Fight Club. Stripes. The Graduate.But just when I thought this cr#pfest was in danger of sinking to a 3- or 4-star movie, Andy Dyck shows up to ''totally redeem this movie'' to paraphrase a line from Dumb and Dumber. I would rank Andy Dyck alongside Gallagher and Carrot Top as the most obnoxiously unfunny humans on Earth.Credit where it's due: he drove this right down to 1 star. Writer/director/producer Todd Phillips must hate comedy, audiences or both.
SnoopyStyle Mitch (Luke Wilson) tries to move on with his life after his girlfriend (Juliette Lewis) cheats on him. When he buys a house after a professor died, the college dean Gordon Pritchard (Jeremy Piven) rezones the house for campus use only. So Mitch's buddies Mitch (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) decide to start a fraternity at the house. That doesn't stop the dean from trying to kick Mitch out.This is the break out movie role for Will Ferrell. It's always funny to have a drunk naked white guy on the loose. It's also a break out for director Todd Phillips. It's charming. It's hilarious. It's stupid, and it's got its heart in the right place. The three guys have great fraternal chemistry. That's what this is all about.
FilmBuff1994 Old School is a very funny movie with a great and different story line and a fantastic cast.Will Ferrell is great in this movie like he always is.Todd Phillips made this movie,long before The Hangover,and fans should really enjoy it,and pretty much everyone in their twenties loves the Hangover.I didn't like how they killed off Blue,I thought it was a dark turn that wasn't need,but other than that,Old School is a fun and light hearted comedy.Fans of both Will Ferrell and Todd Phillips should enjoy Old School,but not as much as some of their better known work.Three men sick of their adult life and all its challenges decide to relive their college days with students that are currently attending.
Mo Ali I would have given this a 10 if I wasn't scared a better movie will ever be made within the next century. Vintage Will Ferrel, at his most stupid; Vince Vaughan is hilarious; the Godfather is simply that; and the film's shallow but hilarious plot is why I created a review here.The plot is not clichéd, that's for sure. This is not a synopsis so I will not spoil the film in any way by giving you hints of the storyline. If you liked Scary Movie, watch this. This is my first review and probably the only review I will ever give in my entire life- writing reviews are for sad, bored people, often in their pension ages- but I know I had to write one for this film.Watch it, show it to your kids, and create bumper stickers for the film (if you get really depressed); this is the funniest, stupidest Comedy I have seen in a long time.
