Amazon.com 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
Product Description Three men relive their carefree college years by killing off as many brain cells as possible in this over-the-top comedy. Mitch (Luke Wilson) returns home from a less-than-pleasant business trip one evening to discover his wife Heidi (Juliette Lewis) involved in a m nage trois with two blindfolded strangers. Feeling less than welcome at home after this Mitch rents a house near the campus of a nearby college; two of Mitch's old college buddies Beanie (Vince Vaughn) and Frank (Will Ferrell) stop by to cheer him up. They soon become regular guests at Mitch's place despite the fact that Frank only recently wed Marissa (Perrey Reeves) while Beanie and his wife Lara (Leah Remini) are busy with two kids. Beanie decides to throw a housewarming party for Mitch and since Beanie sells audio equipment for a living he's able to trick out the big bash with a massive PA system and an appearance by Snoop Dogg. Mitch soon finds he's the not-entirely-willing proprietor of the school's leading party spot which raises the ire of Pritchard (Jeremy Piven) a dean at the college who was the target of Mitch Frank and Beanie's abuse when they were all students. Pritchard arranges to have Mitch's neighborhood zoned into a student housing district but Beanie and Frank respond by forming a fraternity and making Mitch's home their headquarters. Mitch however is not enthusiastic about the idea especially as he's trying to impress Nicole (Ellen Pompeo) a beautiful divorcee who is less than enchanted with Frank and Beanie's "party hearty" lifestyle. Old School director Todd Phillips knows more than a bit about the seamy side of fraternity life as director of the infamous unreleased documentary Frat House.

At First I Hated It, But Then... August 12, 2008 ...I watched it a second time. And a third time. And I continue to watch it, and it seemingly becomes funnier each time.
It's easy to find fault with "Old School": Will Ferrel's character doesn't have a job, as far as I can tell. Mitch-a-pa-looza, a giant house party for Luke Wilson, occurs on a Friday night...yet both Luke Wilson and his high school hook-up are at work and school the next day as if it's a weekday. The homages to "Fight Club" border on rip-offs. And the list goes on.
However, it doesn't matter. Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughan, and Will Ferrel are a comedic dream team. The laughs never stop, so the plot inconsistencies and lack of originality will never really bother you (unless you let them). Check your brain at the door and watch "Old School."
Good Stuff July 28, 2008 Some nice deleted scenes. Everyone knows this is a great movie. Perfect price for it and I loved the bonus materials.
Funny Flick May 22, 2008 This movie is very funny! if you enjoy the like of Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn, then this movie is made for YOU!!
Loveit!!! March 29, 2008 Since I'm not only a fraternity man, but I help start the chapter at my school, I totally relate to humor in this film. We never did anything as extreme as what is presented in the film, but that's what Hollywood does. They take things that are kinda interesting, beef them up, and entertain you for an hour and a half. Will Ferrell is great, Vince Vaughn is hilarious, and Luke Wilson's subtle wit shines. This is a must have for any movie collection!!!
Mildly entertaining and funny January 14, 2008 I had heard that this movie was funny from several friends and also read some reviews about how hilarious this movie is. While there were several hilarious scenes -- Will Ferrell streaking through the streets of town to name one -- the overall laughs were not as many and somewhat trite. Of the three, Ferrell was the funniest followed by Vaughn. I found Luke Wilson's character rather boring and the plot with Ellen Pompeo was all to predictable. If you're looking for light, occassionally funny fare, you could do worse. However, I thought "Wedding Crasher's" and "Talladega Nights" were far funnier movies.
