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
From The New Yorker
In the land of the February movie, the one-joke comedy is king. And this one has quite a joke: three thirtysomething men turn a house near a college campus into a "civilian fraternity." Luke Wilson plays the good-guy hero, and Vince Vaughn is the motormouthed instigator, but the movie belongs to Will Ferrell, the former "S.N.L." comic who goes gleefully berserk, running amok over the sets and the script (many of the best lines feel like eleventh-take improvisations). Todd Phillips, the writer-director who gave us "Road Trip," once again proves to be something of a savant at fusing the crude and the clever. Take, for example, the scene where Ferrell shoots himself in the neck with a tranquilizer dart, which ends up becoming a parody of "The Graduate." And, for fans and survivors of eighties pop music, the unusual variation the film's wedding singer puts on "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is alone worth the price of admission. -Michael Agger
