Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Will Ferrell in all his glory.
Review: So this is what Will Ferrell has been doing since leaving NBC's Saturday Night Live. Will Certainly likes to reveal his talents doesn't he? Jeremy Piven (a comedic actor I like) has been known to do university students-act-like-kids movies, but this time he is a Dean. Vince Vaughn plays a smart-aleck.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Old school is old just buy the Blur of Insanity
Review: If call this a College movie than you'd love the Blur of Insanity!
...or you can buy it direct from amazon just search for "The Blur of Insanity" in only the DVD section.
The Blur feature a unique cast including Joshua Leonard from the Blair Witch Project you know the dude who died.
In the Blur college sophmouers have screwed up there life for a year in just 2 days.
They must get a 4.0 GPA and pay 7 thousand dollars or risk going to prision.
A heart-pounding comedy that will keep you entertained for hours.
I know that I can keep whatching it because it never gets boring.

I encourage everyone please don't waste money on old school but instead the Blur of Insanity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very surprising
Review: I took my wife to see this by accident. I hate Will Ferrall and I thought that the commercials looked stupid. We thought that we were going to see "Bringing Down The House" however I screwed up and thought this was that film. After initially being angry for my mistake, I laughed almost non stop for most of the film. My wife is a bit stuffy and usually not interested in this type of raucus humor and even she was laughing uncontrollably. Vince Vaughn (Ear Muffs!) was fantastic and I became an instant Will Ferrall fan after his streaking scene. This movie was foolish and very funny for a former frat boy who at the age of 40 remembered many of the dumb things college kids do with very fond memories. See this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: MEDIOCRE AT BEST
Review: It starts off okay, but the laughs are too far and inbetween. Will Farell is okay, but he starts to get annoying about halfway through. Luke Wilson is really good in quirky roles, but he fails miserably as the straight man here. Vince Vaughn is great as always, but he can't save it. Rent this one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Are you Kidding me!??!
Review: How dare some people compare this yawn to a classic like Animal House. This movie was terrible. I love a comedy as much as the next guy but come on, give me a break. This was a bad story (been done to many times before) bad acting, bad jokes, bad everything. For you people who compare this to Animal House you need a class on classic comedies. Go rent Airplane, Animal House, even Hot Shots but dont waste your time with this tragedy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Frat-Boy Humor
Review: Nice guy Mitch (Luke Wilson) has just found his girlfriend cheating on him. Puerile Frank (Will Ferrell) has recently married and may have gotten himself in over his head. And Beanie (Vince Vaughn), their cynical friend who is securely married with children, sees it all as an opportunity to party like they did when they were young. Trying to start anew, Mitch leases a house that happens to be right next to a college campus. At Beanie's urging, Mitch's house becomes party central for the nearby college students. In an effort to shut the parties down, the Dean of the university succeeds in having the house zoned for university use only. So the revelers declare themselves a fraternity -an equal opportunity fraternity that will admit any man of any age who wants to pledge. When the conniving Dean comes up with a new plan to shut them down, the guys will have to prove that they are a real fraternity or close their doors permanently.

To say that "Old School"'s humor is sophomoric would be an understatement. "Old School"'s humor is infantile. The audience is hit over the head with gross-out physical comedy, beer bongs, K-Y jelly wrestling, nudity, and four-letter words. And the film does not apologize for it. "Old School" spoofs and celebrates fraternity life. And some of it is funny. But the gags got tiresome, and boredom set in only a third of the way through this film. It may be the lack of credibility, and therefore sympathy, in the characters. At no point in this film does it make any sense that Mitch is even involved with the fraternity. Or it may be that gross-out jokes fall flat after the first "oh, gross". But I found "Old School" to be a snooze. I wasn't impressed by any of the main characters, but there are a few supporting roles that may be worth mentioning. I like Juliette Lewis' swinging girlfriend character a lot. Late Late Show host Craig Kilborn does a very convincing obnoxious womanizer. And Ellen Pompeo jumps off the screen as Mitch's potential love interest, Nicole. The camera loves her, so I think we'll be seeing more of Pompeo in the future. If frat-boy humor is your thing, you might enjoy "Old School". Otherwise, I don't think that you will find the few good jokes and supporting performances worth it.

Summary: what? unrated? whats the difference?
Review: This movie is hilarious, and I would give the movie itself 4 our of 5 stars. But there is hardly any difference between the unrated cut and the R rated cut of the movie. When you have topless women on the menu and on the back of the cover, one might be mislead to think there was tons more nudity, when in reality there are 2 brief scenes with any type of nudity (besides will ferrel's butt scene). This movie could have easily passed the R rating cut, as the unrated thing is nothign but a marketing ploy. I bought the movie for laughs and definately not for sex, but for someone who does, the "UNRATED AND OUT OF CONTROL" part is quite misleading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The bottom line!
Review: Rented the DVD and laughed my (blank) off. Bought the DVD that night and will enjoy it forever. This movie will join the ranks of Animal House, Fletch, etc. A MUST BUY. 5 STARS w/out a doubt. Get the unrated version.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Darn Funny!
Review: How can this movie not be funny with a cast like this??

I thought this movie was great! It's just one of those funny movies that could actuall happen, but probably won't. Everybody in the cast was great; I love Luke Wilson. I think this movie started off not being too terribly funny, but as the movie went on, there were more laughs. However, it wasn't the funniest movie i've seen...and that's why I give it 4 stars.
