Summary: Frank The Tank
Review: I thought this was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The plot is pretty basic, as it's about a start-up frat that the dean of the college and old college rival of the frat founders (Will ferrel, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn) wants to have them removed from his campus. Through parties, and subversive behavior the frat finds it's way to stay on campus and more importantly make us the audience laugh. The frat brothers are as diverse as it gets, from an enormously overweight kid to an incredibly old sailor named Blue. I wasn't really a huge Will Ferrel fan going into this film, but after seeing this hilarious film with some seriouss spray milk through the nose moments I came out ranking his performance up their with the likes of Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, John Belushi, and Dan Akroyd. His scene in the pool will go down in history as one of the all time great comedy classics. The only weak parts in this film to me were some of the romantic sub-plots between Luke Wilson and his old high school sweet heart. The moments between the two are too warm and touching for this film. These continually reoccuring scenes felt out of place in this outrageous laugh fest of a film. But this complaint is minor. If you are up for a hilarious time, and want to laugh like crazy pick up this amazing film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes, it goes for cheap laughs at times but...
Review: ...there's way, way more than that here. This film has the kind of stuff that allows you to watch it multiple times and be thoroughly entertained every time. The three leading men are fantastic and when the straight man's lines and delivery are hilarious(Luke Wilson) you know you've got a winner. The movie is also loaded with little moments and bits that help make it shine too, and you quite often don't see the jokes coming. There's plenty of nods to "Animal House"(and one to "The Wanderers") but it's no rip off, and there's some treats on the soundtrack(Metallica when they were good, Black Flag doing "Louie Louie", and Will Ferrell singing "Dust in the Wind", among others). A must-own and an American comedy classic. Good bonus materials too.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Poke your eyes out before watching this.
Review: Only one thing was funny about this movie. The rope stuck to the penises of nerds wanting in on a famous frat house, thats it. I suspected that since will farrel was in this it would be funny, but at the end the out come was, short and boring. On a scale from one to ten i would give it a 0.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: You're my boy, Blue.
Review: "Old School" is the clear and obvious best comedy of 2003, hands down. I actually saw it in the theater four times - yes, that's four - mostly because I kept going out with people that hadn't seen it yet. Every experience was the same - the theater was locked in hysterics for the duration of the movie, from the opening scene.

But as I watched the movie again and again, I began to really feel cheated by the ending. Up until this point it's a quasi-reality based film, with somewhat believable characters. Then at the end it turns into a 1980s Donner film, where a 400-pound kid is suddenly endowed with the ability to flip through the air like an Olympic gymnast, and Will Ferrell's character begins speaking expertly about a political topic he knows nothing about, actually stumping James Carville. I understand it's just a silly comedy, but up until this point everything was just funny and true - it felt very "hand of God"-ish.

However it only weakens the movie slightly, and even within these unconvincing moments it's still very funny. Buy it. You will watch it again and again. The bonus features are great, including a spoof of the Actor's Studio with Will Ferrell as James Lipton interviewing the entire cast. There are tons of one-liners, the cast is great, and it defines Will Ferrell as the comedic genius of this generation.

Summary: Old School, Old Plot, Old Jokes, Flat Movie
Review: This comedy (?) follows the adventures of three friends (played by Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn) who can`t seem to adapt to their adult lives, so they try to return to their youth and form a fraternity. The movie then presents us countless cliches around beer, cute young girls, parties, trite rap music and inane, tepid jokes.
"Old School" isn`t entertaining or original, and has only two or three funny moments that can`t redeem the hollowness and state of boredom created during most of it`s running time. This is just worthless, which is not a big surprise since the director`s (Todd Phillips) previous movie was the equally boring "Road Trip", and even that one was a bit better than this. Another picture to avoid.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Just Keeps getting better
Review: I have seen this movie around 8 times already and it just keeps getting better. This is a movie about 3 friends and how wacky their lives become when one of them, Will Ferrell, gets married and Luke Wilson catches his girlfriend having a 3-some; along with several other activities she admits too. Vince Vaughn steals several sceens with his sarcastic wit. The 3 friends decide to start a fraternity and make it what every fraternity wishes it was. Look for Will Ferrell to turn in a very funny performance; especially when "Frank The Tank" reappears. This movie keeps getting funnier every time I see it. I find little things I somehow missed before.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Didn't Get What I Expected!
Review: When I sat down to watch this movie I was in the mood for a great comedy. I had heard nothing but good things about this movie, I was sadly disappointed.

Old School has a great cast that includes Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn. Luke Wilson's character finds his girlfriend cheating on him with a couple she has met online and decides to leave her. He moves into a house on campus and his friend played by Vince Vaughn decides have a huge party for him where Will Ferrell's character streaks down the street only to get caught by his wife. AFter getting caught at the party Will Ferrell's character moves in with Luke Wilson. After the party the group of friends decides to open a fraternity in his house. After recruiting several different people for the frat house many antics end up getting the frat kicked off campus.

There are several twists and turns throughout this movie and yes there are some funny parts but just not as many as I would've liked for a Will Ferrell movie. I laughed the hardest when the they were showing the bloopers at the end.
