Wonderful character development!

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This movie has great nostalgia value to us older people who went to university. Its also a very funny movie in itself. The best scene has Will Ferrell leading a campus nude streak down a suburban street. He encounters his wife who is shocked to see him. But not as shocked as Will Ferrell is when she points out no one is following him. Todd Philips directed this and he tends to divide opinion. Some claim he is unoriginal. I agree with that, but his sense of comic timing is quite good. He also seems to allow his actors a large playful space to perform. He looks to be going into more serious filmmaking now so it will be interesting to see how his career unfolds from now on.

Mitch (Luke Wilson) tries to move on with his life after his girlfriend (Juliette Lewis) cheats on him. When he buys a house after a professor died, the college dean Gordon Pritchard (Jeremy Piven) rezones the house for campus use only. So Mitch's buddies Mitch (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) decide to start a fraternity at the house. That doesn't stop the dean from trying to kick Mitch out.This is the break out movie role for Will Ferrell. It's always funny to have a drunk naked white guy on the loose. It's also a break out for director Todd Phillips. It's charming. It's hilarious. It's stupid, and it's got its heart in the right place. The three guys have great fraternal chemistry. That's what this is all about.

"Old School" is a somewhat funny comedy, in the vein of "Animal House", in which a group of middle aged men start a college fraternity in order to escape the drudgery of their middle class, white collar world.The film stars Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell, but possesses few jokes and little insight. What humour there is comes mostly from Vaughn and Ferrell. Ferrell plays his usual slow-witted, goofy, overly sincere gentle giant, and Vaughn's a deadpan quip-trader. Most of the film is slow, dull and plot-heavy, but these two make it bearable.Unlike most "teen sex comedies", this one is aimed squarely at older men. It's a "turn back the clock" fantasy, but one carefully designed to negate any of the unseemly aspects such a fantasy may entail. And so our heroes sleep with the bosses daughter and teenage girls, but it's okay because our heroes were unconscious and "she" wanted it. Likewise, our heroes dump their wives, but it's okay, because it is "she" who wanted to end things and their relationship wouldn't have worked anyway. And so on and so on.7/10 – See "Frat House", a documentary by Todd Phillips, or Frederick Wiseman's "High School" and "High School 2".

"Hangover" Director Todd Phillips delivers a sort of "Animal House" throwback with "Old School". The film tells the story of Mitch, played by Luke Wilson, whose life basically falls apart before his eyes. He then decides to move in to a house on a college campus. Mitch's friends Frank and Beanie, played by Ferrell and Vaughn, convince him to start a fraternity within the college campus. Hilarity, of course, ensues. I found myself laughing a fair amount in this movie. There were a couple moments that were made me laugh hysterically, but overall the laughs came pretty moderately for me. Luke Wilson is great at playing. . .well the straight man - I feel that that's all he plays in movies unfortunately. And Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are excellent as Wilson's flawed but fun friends. Overall I found the movie pretty darn hilarious. Even though some of the subplot stuff was rather annoyingly predictable, the movie still managed to make me laugh a bit.
