Product Description

When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly to save Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claim for academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return to the reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilson along with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of all ages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hanging on a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and just enough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-system ending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and frequently funny movie. Featuring Jeremy Piven and Juliette Lewis, with cameos by Snoop Dog, Andy Dick, and others. --Bret Fetzer

Great Entertainment July 3, 2009
Edward J. Barton (Mill Creek, WA)
In the vein of the Revenge of the Nerds, but with the mid-lufe crisis twist, Old School is a good watch. I have the DVD with the additional "Bonus Features", and would strongly recommend that you watch the deleted scenes as well. They really add to the movie, and it was unfortunate they were removed in many cases/
The movie itself is good for a few laughs, and Will Ferrell is his typical self, and generally carries the movie with a combination of slapstick and satire. Luke Wilson does an admirable job of playing the straight guy, and his ascerbic wit comes through in this movie. It may be my favorite Luke Wilson flick - though the list isn't that long.
It's not a classic like Animal House, but is good for quite a few laughs, especially if you are, like me, a middle aged married guy who every once in awhile looks at your college years as the "best years of my life". It may help you question that, as well as hit home on occasion.
 DVD version's better June 25, 2009

I know several persons in their early 30's that will tell you that this movie is closer to a true story than you think...A midlife traumatic break up mixed with lots of partying and little self-control.
Once again a movie with one of my favorite people, Will Ferrell. He has a way of stealing every scene that he is in, and this movie is no different. Together with mr "i talk all the time" Vince Vaughn and "i look insecure no matter what" Luke Wilson they are a very good comedic gang. I watched the unrated edition on dvd and of course they have tried to put as many pairs of breasts they can get away with :) But this is a simple and funny movie. Will Ferrel goes streaking through the city, Sean William Scott does a small role as an abusive animal trainer and Snoop does a cameo. All in all i think people will enjoy this movie. Although it is not exceptionally good, it is good enough to have a few laughs and enjoy yourself.
 Didn't work for me May 27, 2009
Eric S. Kim (Southern California)
I was hoping that I would enjoy watching Old School, since it had Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn. It failed to make me laugh. I know lots of other people admire this film, but I didn't find it very funny. Sure, the plot worked and the characters were actually convincing, but I found the jokes to be very weak in many parts. Oh well, next time when I watch this comedy again, maybe then I'll find it extremely hilarious.
Funny movie- Love it! April 20, 2009
Liza Gonzalez (Bronx,Ny)
