Summary: Not a gross-out comedy everyone is sick of...
Review: Frank The Tank streaking...The wedding band singing "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"...Frank singing at Blue's funeral...The fat kid throwing the cynder block off the balcony...Need I say more???This is a classic comedy, different from most comedies that come out now...they don't try to gross you out like every other "comedy" does...That gets old real fast, and ANYONE can write something that will make everyone watching sick. The comedy here relies on the actors and the script. No idiot eating dog poop (American Wedding...), no scenes of idiots eating "Special Eclares" (Van Wilder)..., that stuff is childish and non funny. It's the actors and the acting that make you laugh...and don't forgret...WE'RE GOING STREAKING!!!!!!

Summary: Animal House Rip-Off!!
Review: You can't give it 0, ZERO, NADA Stars, so I had to give it 1. What a piece of crap!!! This was such a waste of time!! If you want to see something funny, it would be wise to invest your money on Animal House instead! Vince Vaughn(Beanie) is about the funniest thing in the movie, along with the brief scene with Andy Dick!! Other than that, a real yawner. Let's see an underage high school girl....that's right it was done in Animal House. A Dean that is going to shut down the so-called Frat....yep, Animal House again. Big party with a band....Snoop Dog....bad replacement for Otis Day....oh yes, Animal House again. An elderly pledge dies....Animal House had a horse die in the Deans office, basic rip-off, slight change. Will Farrell gets drunk and streaks!! Whoppie, not funny!! I have a copy I am willing to give away! I heard how great it was so I bought it without having seen it at the movies. That is 90 minutes of my life I can never get back!!! The laughs are few, and very far between here......AVOID!!!

Summary: JUST OLD
Review: Three guys long for the old beer drinking days so they form a faternity. Why thier wives and girlfriends dont miss them while they get drunk every night with college girls was not explained. They get a bunch of wierd people to join there club and then they get in trouuble with the dean. Will Farrel runs around with his behind hangin out alot in this movie because when he drinks he becomes Frank the Tank. Sort of like Animal House. A good girl comes along to help out and the crooked dean is ousted. Yawn.

Summary: Rejoice the Frat Moment...
Review: Mitch (Luke Wilson) arrives at home earlier than expected to surprise his fiancé Heidi (Juliette Lewis), but it turns out that Mitch is the one who is getting surprised by his fiancé's activities outside their relationship. When Mitch's friend Frank (Will Ferrell) gets married he finds himself deeply depressed, which Beanie (Vince Vaughn) recognizes. When Mitch moves into a new house close to a university campus Bernie comes up with the great idea that they should start a fraternity in order to get Mitch to get over Heidi and back into the dating business. Old School is a hilarious comedy that offers some morals in an extremely funny way, however, the last act of the film seemed rushed which caused some awkwardness in the story. In the end the audience is left with a good cinematic experience that will cause multiple laughs, and maybe offer some lessons.

Summary: OLD SCHOOL IS NOT NECESSARILY OLD HAT
Review: There are some retreading in OLD SCHOOL taking parts from such films as ANIMAL HOUSE, BACK TO SCHOOL (Rodney Dangerfield), and BILLY MADISON (Adam Sandler), but the casting and characters is what saves the film and there is some wit, originality and thought written into the script and the characters along with some hilarious moments. Three college buddies (Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, and Will Ferrell) are having trouble adjusting to adult life and have troubled relationships and marriages (even after so many years of being out of college). They take one last stab at youth by turning Mitch's home into a frat house. This due in part from circumstances involving a rezoned area near a college campus which Mitch has moved into after a falling out with his wife. As his friends keep on coming around (and staying) to cheer him up, they come with with the plan for the frat house. They recruit whomever and not necessarily college students to join the frat house and the party begins. There are subplots for all three of the individual leads. The standout is that of Will Ferrell (formerly of Saturday Night Live) whose character (Frank) sustains a lot of the slapstick and abuse in the film. Luke Wilson has a restrained and thoughtful performance as the sensitive 'Mitch', and Vince Vaughn as 'Beanie' always has presence as the audio equipment salesman. As stated, there are some original and hilarious moments in the film. One scene involves Mitch (Luke Wilson)as he comes home from work to find his wife, played by Juliet Lewis, involved in a threesome which has very good comic timing. There is a very funny sequence with comic actor Andy Dick as a hired sex therapist of sorts, and lastly there is a hilarious cameo by late night talk show host Craig Kilborn. Overall, a film that proves that something old can be new again, OLD SCHOOL could have been another in a long list of recently bad low-brow comedies, but the film works because of a great cast,a funny script, and some inspired cameos.

Summary: Classic
Review: You just have to see this movie. Will Ferrel, right that, that's a reason.
When you watch this movie you will laugh, you will think it's silly and you will find yourself letting go to just have fun. Old School is a great comedy about some guys who like to have fun, to want to live a bit in the past and don't see the need to play by the rules. Check it out.

Summary: "Honey, you think KFC is still open?"
Review: If you're looking for a raunchy comedy that is both funny and goofy, "Old School" is it. While it's in no way an outstanding movie, it gets the job done in the Funny Department. I'm not really picky when it comes to comedies. As long as I laugh, I'm pretty happy. This movie made me laugh numerous times, no matter how goofy or lame the gag. Mitch thought he had the perfect life, until he came home early one day and found out some of his girlfriend's "erotic" pastimes. Needless to say, the two break up and go their separate ways. Now, Mitch has to move out and start a new life, while still being broken up about the whole ordeal. His friends, Beanie and Frank, are determined to get their friend to be happy again---so they decide the best course of action is starting their own fraternity! The guys may be in their thirties, but they still know how to have a good time and live it up as if they were still in college. However, the dean is none too happy with the new "frat house" and is determined to get it shut down, no matter what it takes. All of this leads up to a very hilarious movie. Directed by Todd Philips ("Road Trip"), "Old School" is highly entertaining and comical. It's raunchy, of course, but it still knows how to be funny without going over-the-top in every scene or gag. While it's in no way a masterpiece, I was very entertained for the entire 1 hour and 32 minutes. Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn are very funny in their roles and really make the script work. The person who really steals the show, however, is none other than Will Ferrell as "Frank 'The Tank.'" I don't know if the movie would have been half as good without him. He really knows how to take his comical antics to the limit and is never afraid to try anything new (even if it means "streaking" in a neighborhood, only to be caught by his new wife moments later). All in all, the movie has many elements of hilarity that works most of the time. The DVD has some neat features to offer. One of the main highlights is that this is "uncensored" and shows footage that could have never been shown in the theatres. I've never seen the theatrical version, so I have no idea what was added. I do know that it is an extremely outrageous movie and can tell why exactly it is "uncensored." Surprisingly, this movie is offered in DTS. I don't really see this as a movie needing it, but hey, I'm not about to complain about it. Extras included are bloopers and outtakes, deleted scenes, featurettes, commentary, and more. Plenty of cool features to play around with. I ended up really enjoying "Old School" for what it was. There will be many people who will not enjoy the raunchiness of the movie, but there will be many others who will. If you're looking for just a plain ol' good time, then this might be the movie to check out. The movie did its job and made me laugh. That's usually all that I look for in a comedy, and this film succeeded in doing that--many times, for that matter.

Summary: AWESOME!!!!
Review: For those of you who enjoy Adam Sandler and comedies which start well but end up choking on themselves in an attempt to deliver a positive message at the end, look elsewhere for a movie. "Old School" is one of the best comedies I've ever seen, along with Animal House, Rushmore, Zoolander, Caddyshack etc. The cast which includes Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn (who plays a wise-ass better than anyone) and Luke Wilson is fantastic. I won't spoil the plot for anyone except to say that if you can get by the wedding and reception scenes without laughing the whole time, stop the movie and go watch Tele-Tubbies or Barnie because you can't handle anything more and won't "get" this movie. If you like Will Farrell, you'll love this movie. If you enjoyed Swingers and Vince Vaughn, you'll love this movie. Rent this movie.

Summary: One of the worst hyped movies I've ever seen
Review: I rented three movies-The Recruit, Feedback and this movie. I LOVE Will on SNL..but this movie is so lame it deserves 3 thumbs down. This has been my one and only movie review. PS-the other two movies rocked. Espescially 'Feedback'. A b-rated movie with class.
