Summary: Fun and Entertaining
Review: Old School is a very funny movie that is definitely worth seeing. There are many funny moments and jokes. Old School has a good cast who make the movie very entertaining. The storyline is the classic dean versus the fraturnity.Old School has a good cast. Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, and Will Ferrell play the three main charaters in the movie. Vince Vaughn's charactor is a married man with two small children. He's the guy that is sort of the leader. The fraturnity is his idea and in the begginging he is the motavator for everybody else to get things going. Luke Wilson's character is a lawyer who isn't too exicited about the fraturnity at first then grows to enjoy it. Will Ferrell's charater is the not so bright. He means well but his stupidy gets him into funny pridcuments. This story is mainly a story about escapeing the monatony of everyday life. It's about the guys getting together and haveing a good time. It's also a very funny movie. The DVD itself has many good features including a spoof of Inside the Actors Studio. The large amount of extra materal makes the DVD defently worth it.

Summary: Silly, but an outrageous farce
Review: I recently bought OLD SCHOOL and ROAD TRIP 2-pack DVD edition, and I'm proud to say it was worth all the money! This film is simply funny and the performances by Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn are downright good! The trio: Mitch(Wilson), a dumped lawyer, Frank(Ferrell), a confused husband and Beanie(Vaughn) a raucous father, all decide to relive their glory days by starting a out-of-control "fraternity" in Mitch's home. Cauos ensues, and they get in trouble with the dean, who is planning to stop the raging party everyone is talking about. Of course audiences made this silly comedy a hit, and has fast become a popular party movie. There are many memorable scenes in this movie, including the scene where Will Ferrell accidently shoots himself with a tranquilizar! Ok, OLD SCHOOL has an ordinary premise, but the high energy and vast performances by the cast are highly recommended even for a single viewing.

Summary: Men Will Be Boys
Review: Mitch, Beanie, and Frank are three guys reclaiming the good ole days before they settled into marriage, long-term relationships and careers. In the beginning of the movie, Mitch comes home and finds that his girlfriend Heidi is into ganbanging. Frank gets married but finds that he can't stay married because he feels that he is losing himself and goes out of control at the Mitchapalooza party. Beanie is married with children and is doing what he can to help his friend Mitch get out of his funk. They form a fraternity with some of the guys that are considered not popular enough. Then in comes the dean who can't stand the sight of them. He was picked on by them and plots revenge against them. He uses the SGA president and pre-law student to deny the fraternity their charter. This movie is hilarious. Big boy dropped his attached concrete in the manhole and fell. That has got to hurt! Seeing Will Ferrell naked was even hilarious. He was the lone streaker until he was busted by his wife while she was driving her friends. This movie was funny and watching it the second time is even more funny!

Summary: Great cast, too hilarious to ignore!!
Review: I just saw this movie about three hours ago, and I have to say it is the best movie I've seen in the theater in a long, long time. The starring cast is unbelievable, as Luke Wilson (from 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and 'Legally Blonde'), Will Ferrell (SNL funnyman/'A Night At The Roxbury' star), and Vince Vaughn (from both 'Made' and 'Swingers') star as three married buddies who begin a fraternity; or something like it. And along with the three stars, there's a great list of supporting roles and cameos. Including Sean William Scott (Stifler of 'American Pie'), Andy Dick, CBS Late Late Show's Craig Kilborn, and Jeremy Piven. And once you get past the long cast list, you have a very funny movie. As the movie starts, you get a glimpse of each of the three stars and their lives; as far as their marriages go. Then as it turns out, none of them are really happy. And as Mitch (Luke Wilson) gets divorced and moves into a frathouse near a college, they decide to start a fraternity. But it's not like any old club on campus--for this one you don't even have to go to the college. Anyway, as the film roles on, you can imagine what (and if you saw the previews, you get the gist of it) they do. They drink, party, and slowly drift away from the lives they have with their wives. And I have to say, out of the three star performances, Vince Vaughn's was the best. Will Ferrell's certainly is the funniest, but Vince was great. He sort of carries in the same swagger-style he had in the riotous movie 'Made'; something that works very well for him. I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that the previews don't even begin to prepare you. It's definitely not one of those movies that is only funny in the previews. The laughs portrayed there are multiplied by 100, at least. For those of you who saw 'Road Trip' you'll not be let down with 'Old School'. And being that it's from the same director (Todd Phillips), that makes sense. But this one is better. Much better. This time around the director takes it to a whole new level. And the characters are more well-rounded here than they were in 'Road Trip'. The slogan of the movie says it all: "All the fun of college. None of the education." I think that speaks for itself. So I could leave you here saying that if you liked 'Road Trip' you will like 'Old School'; and that's it. But that's not true. This is not just a "teen cult" movie--or whatever they're calling it these days--it's much much more than that. It's a hilarious movie with an astonishing/almost too hilarious cast that will keep you laughing even through the closing credits (courtesy of Ferrell and Vince). And it's not every day I put an exclamation point on my review titles, much less two. I gave the movie 5 stars because that's what it deserves. It's a 5 star movie, there's not getting around it. And again, if you saw the previews and you laughed (or even thought about laughing) then you need to see this movie. There's so many great lines and so many awesome scenes that I couldn't even begin to list them; I wouldn't know where to start. Go see this movie.

Summary: soooo funny
Review: I thought this movie was going to be sooo bad from the trailers that they played on TV. But fortunately a friend, whose opinion I trust, just told me, "It's funny, watch it." So I did and I laughed my ass off! For two weeks, everytime I thought about certain scenes!! I never understood why everybody loved Will Ferell (sp?) so much but now I do. Watch this!!

Summary: Pretty Funny
Review: The boys that brought us "Road Trip" are back again with "Old School" and it's pretty much what you'd think it would be. THE STORY: Mitch (Luke Wilson), Frank (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) are a bunch of 30-something guys who decide to open up a frat house near their old college campus and pretty much get into all the cliché frat things to some pretty hilarious results. Among other things they let in just about EVERYBODY (including an old homeless Vet) into the frat and they take on the crooked college Dean who holds a grudge against them from their old college days. THE COOL THINGS: Overall, the film is what you'd expect. It's a "dumb" comedy and the boys get themselves into some pretty hilarious fixes. Nothing sophisticated here which is good. We've got streaking, we've got the sophomoric humor and that's about it. THE NOT-SO-COOL THINGS: Well, given that it's a "dumb" comedy as you'd expect, some things are pretty funny and then again, some things aren't all that funny. BEST SCENES: 1. The BJ School 2. The Tranquilizer Dart 3. The "Exam" Scene 4. The KY Wrestling scene THE DVD EXTRAS: As standard for these new DVDs, you've got a truckload of extras. Like the film itself, some of them are hilarious and some of them aren't. 1. "From the Cutting Room Floor" - 8 deleted scenes 2. "Old School Orientation" - 13 minute film synopsis featurette 3. "Inside the Actors Studio Spoof" - 21 minute spoof of a "serious" talk show segment with the main cast and directors, complete with overly dramatic host and canned audience reactions. It got old after like 4 minutes... 4. "Outtakes & Bloopers" - 5 minute montage 5. Commentary Track 6. 3 TV Spots & 1 Trailer from the films promotion 7. Sneak Peaks: Trailers for "Biker Boyz," "The Fast and the Furious Tricked Out Edition," and "Head of State" 8. Photo Gallery 9. Cast Bios 10. Filmmaker Bios 11. Production Notes THE VERDICT: Well, for a "dumb" comedy this is definitely one of the better ones. It was waaay better than "Road Trip" but as with stuff in this genre it's just okay. You'll get a good laugh and you'll also shake your head a few times too. Overall, not bad for a weekend rental and if you loved the movie the extras justify this as a pretty good addition to your collection if you're so inclined. GRADES: The Movie: 3 ½ stars
The Extras: 5 stars
Overall: 4 ¼ stars Recommended if you need a mindless laugh

Summary: Two words -Will Ferrell!

"Were going streakin!"
"Hey honey, is KFC still open?"
Hey honey its me, i was wonderin if you wanted to get yogurt or maybe an entire meal of food, call me back!"
there are so many more. Ferrell is king is this one!

Summary: Another teen movie. 15th april 2004.
Review: It's one of them teen movies, if you are into them sorts of movies this is perfect for you. I like some of them, and don't get me wrong this is pretty good but i have seen better. I always think well by looking at the box cover, and reading the reviews on it which i normally do, i thought by what it actually says it is funny i normally go for funny movies. I didn't laugh at it at all i don't think it is funny. Some older people might find it a laugh though. There are on similararities to this film or any other i have seen. I could imagine it been like that [not another teen movie]which i have never seen.
