Summary: A Great Surprise
Review: Walking into the theater, I honestly wasnt expecting much though I was looking forward to it. I thought I was about to see a predictable, episodic movie of stupid jokes and gross out gags. By the movie's end, I was thrilled I spent money on it. Not only were the jokes and situations funny but it was also acted well. Luke Wilson did a good job in a role that doesn't call for much, which is fine. It was easy for me to assume, even though I have aspirations for him, that Will Ferrell would recreate some whacky SNL character he has played before. However, he was not only hysterical but he played his character with sincerity and proved he can do much more than a random SNL character. Fast talking Vince Vaughn was terrific as usual, his lines delivered with sharp and accurate timing and all deadpan. His character, as well, was humanized and not a caricature or redundant character that a film of this kind could too easily churn out. Jeremy Piven gleefully waltzed through all his scenes as the antagonist dean with ease while making the audience hate him but be able to laugh at the same time as opposed to way too many comedic "villians." Ellen Pompeo adds just the right femininity to an otherwise mostly male oriented film to not oversaturate it and make her love interest into an obligation by the end of the film. Very funny, very worth it. Not a masterpiece but much better than many of the other comedies that would seem to be similar but are only so on the surface.

Summary: THE ANSWER TO THE MID-LIFE CRISIS--NOT!
Review: What does a mild-mannered thirty-year-old businessman do after he catches the early flight home and discovers his woman in a sado-masochistic tryst? Why, the same thing you and I would, of course--he starts a fraternity! All those New Age philosophers who think the key to manhood lies in the "inner child" have found their cinematic manifesto in this bomb. Stuffed start to finish with farcical crudity and tasteless "jokes," "Old School" caters to that inexplicably loud & proud American caste that believes sobriety and responsibility are the great evils of society and that everything is okay as long as you can make it to the next party. Unfunny and offensive, "Old School" is a sad waste of celluloid.

Summary: Not You Average Comedy
Review: Old School with Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson is childish, sophmoric, low brow, slap stick, and moronic comedy, and I LOVED every minute of it. For all of the stupid fraternity house comedy, it is also smart, witty, and clever in the way that they tie several story lines together. There is a cute love story that really works well on screen. In these times of high anxiety, turn off CNN and take a few hours to go and relax, and more importantly, LAUGH with this very funny movie.

Summary: hilarious
Review: old school was absolutely hilarious, my wife and I saw it opening weekend and its the hardest I've ever laughed in the theater. Will Ferrell is outstanding and although the plot is very average the movie brings many laughs. Anyone above the age of 26 will appreciate the humor old school offers.

Summary: My Favorite Comedy Movie Ever!!!
Review: This movie was great. It was a laugh a minute movie about a guy who just bought a house near a university with his two friends. The college dean realizes that those three guys picked on him whem he was little so the dean says that the house is the universitys property. In order to save his house he starts a sorority. Over all it was hysterical and I recommend it to anybody who would love a good laugh.

Summary: Some good, unclean fun
Review: I was expecting a good movie when I went to see "Old School," but I wasn't expecting something THIS good. This movie is, simply put, absolutely hilarious, and it's got lots of brains and heart to go with the goofball humor. I'm not really into lowbrow comedies, but "Old School" is a very intelligent take on the typical fratboy fare. The humor is goofy, but witty at the same time, and there are even some real emotions on display. The plot revolves around three thirtyish friends who start up a fraternity with some local college students, and it gets a nonstop stream of laughs out of the idea of guys trying to reclaim some of their lost youth. Will Ferrell is especially great as the loopy Frank, whether he's shooting himself with a tranquilizer dart at his friend's son's birthday party, setting himself on fire trying to jump through a hoop, or belting out an unforgettable rendition of Kansas's "Dust in the Wind" at the funeral of an elderly pledge. The underrated Luke Wilson makes a perfect straight man as Mitch, and Vince Vaughn is the picture of intensity as Beanie. It's really too bad this movie doesn't seem to be getting much attention. I don't go to the movies much anymore, but this one was more than worth the trip.

Summary: OLD SCHOOL MAKES NEW LAUGHS!
Review: I am a big fan of Will Ferrel. He is a very talented actor and is also very funny. Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are also very talented actors. So you know the movie has talent, but does it have depth, well, not really. Does this movie have laughs, Oh yes! This is an enjoyable movie with very many laughs, an enjoyable cast, and a FUN story. Also, Juliette Lewis is a very good actress, and we are graced with a brief moment of Sean William Scott. I laughed the whole time Scott was on the screen. Will Ferrel displays his best talent by just letting us watch him and laugh, no holding back. Wilson is the main character, and most responsible. Vaughn gives a whole different way to make us laugh, he's definately an original. The only thing that lacks in this movie is a sense of together-ness(is that a word?). Its basically fun for the sake of fun, and stupidity for the sake of stupidity, but none-the-less, it is absolutely hilarious and eye watering funny. So I would definately say, if you are in the mood for a comedy, and have a few extra bucks to spare, make an investment in Old School, you are sure to get your moneys worth.
RATED R FOR SOME STRONG SEXUALITY, SOME NUDITY, AND LANGUAGE.
