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

"Old School"
Omnisexual College Hijinks
Amos Lassen
It is really hard to produce a really good comedy and "Old School" comes really close to being one of the best. However, director Todd Phillips went a step too far with this outing. The movie is very funny and the stars, Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn pull out all the stops. They are guys in their thirties who decide that they should start a fraternity so they can experience what they missed when they were in college. The humor is raunchy and sometimes outrageous and it will keep you laughing. It is unapologetic with cheap laughs, however. Every cliche you have ever seen before seems to have found its way into this movie. There are wild frat parties, wrestling girls covered in KY, and antics galore.
At least the movie makes no pretense of being more than it is yet it is not insipid--it is just fun. It is not a bad movie but neither is it a good movie. Luke Wilson is perfect as Mitch who is steady and reserved who instigated the whole idea. As his friend Beanie is Vince Vaughn who has perfect comic timing and who raises the idea that since Mitch has now left his cheating girlfriend, they should celebrate his new freedom. They are
soon joined by every thirty something who feels
he needs to recapture his college days when they were not in the "in crowd". Will Ferrell as Frank the Tank owns his role as the lovable loser and the sad sack. He has the best lines. Andy Dick in a cameo performance as a cross dressing gay male is hysterical.
If you like to laugh and really do not care how silly things can get, this is the movie for you. I, personally, prefer drama.
