Summary: Not "good" but really funny.
Review: So this film is dumb, unambitious, very silly, not at all challenging, tacky, gratuitous, sick and occasionally gross. (I could've gone my whole life without seeing Will Ferrell naked - thank you very much.)It's very funny. Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are clearly having fun with the film, which is fun in the vein of dumb fraternity movies like "Animal House," though it's not as good as that. The plot's nonsense. A bunch of thirtysomething guys trying to recapture their lost youth in the face of maturity and commitment decide to fly in the face of all that by starting a fraternity, though none of them are enrolled in college. They run afoul of the nerdy dean, who vows to get them kicked off campus. It's all fairly standard-issue stuff. But the film goes for all the laughs it can get and manages to get quite a few of them.

Summary: Great Movie, Funny but same old storyline
Review: Old School is a very funny movie for fans of this type of comedy, but its storyline is pretty much the same. You have the good guys, the evil dean, and the girl that almost gets away.

Summary: NO REDEEMING QUALITIES! YAY!
Review: I am so tired of movies that start off as comedies only to degenerate into sad parodies of Personal Triumph stories. The first 30 min or so will be funny, then the main character spends the rest of the movie tyring to 1. get the girl back, 2. redeem himself in the eyes of family/boss/school or 3. save the world.
This film is refreshingly free of any of that. It ends the same way it begins. With a group of idiots. Will Farrell in particular has absolutely no shame. Blessed/Cursed with an aging middle age type body the streaking scene will haunt you for days once you are finished laughing.
Basically the story, Man comes home early from trip, man breaks up with girlfriend due to fact girlfriend slept with half of internet while man was gone. Mans friends decide to relieve youth after he gets own place, hilarity ensues.
Check your brain at the door and enjoy.

Summary: Great Picture even for the "older"set
Review: My wife and I are in our 50s. We decided to splurge on this picture and see it. I had trepidations about it because of its younger appeal. HOWEVER this was a movie that we both truly enjoyed. It was funny from beginning to end. Todd Phillips is an up and coming director. This movie made us rent "Road trip" which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Don't miss this movie no matter how old you are!

Summary: Great Initiate into a Great Tradition
Review: I laughed for a good 60 to 70 minutes during this film. It starts right at the beginning and really does not let up. Critics are really funny about this film ... they seem to take shots at the movie because it's not some stuffy MIRAMAX-let's-buy-us-an-Oscar-type film, yet they all admit that they laughed?!? It's a film can not be a comedy for the sake of being a comedy. Films that make an audience laugh this much should be hailed and not pilloried.

Summary: Pretty Damn Good
Review: I am a huge Animal House fan so when they compared Old School to it I was very excited. Will Ferrell is hilarious in this movie. He practically carries it. Ohhh and Vince Vaughn is pretty good to. Not a must see, but go see for some great laughs.

Summary: MediaGab Review
Review: I am a huge fan of Will Ferrell and of course I had to go see "Old School," his first movie since he left Saturday Night Live. I was really worried about seeing this movie I was hoping that it wasn't going to be a bad movie. Well I was pleasantly surprised. Will Ferrell went far beyond my expectation. Old School is a very funny comedy about three thirty something guys who are trying to settle down with their lives but when that fails they try to recapture their college days. Mitch Martin (Luke Wilson) moves into a college house and is talked into starting a fraternity by his friends. The movie was great. The comedy was brilliantly unpredictable. It is really hard now a days to come up with a comedy that hasn't been done before. Old School accomplishes just that. Of course being a fan of Ferrell I am going to go out on a limb and say he made this movie what it is. I give this movie a 5 out of 5. Take my advise don't listen to the critics review on this movie. Critics don't care for comedies and have judged all comedies I have seen totally wrong. If that doesn't sway you then just remember that Old school came in second in its debut weekend at the box office.
