    Advantages Advantages Very funny, many memorable scenes, great one liners, Will Ferell at his best

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None for me

    Written by Court Crandell, Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong, and directed by Todd Phillips Old School was released in May 2003. In its simplest form it is a story of 3 men that are scared of growing up and regress back to their college years. ****Story line**** Our story is centred round 3 friends Mitch Martin (Luke Wilson), Frank Ricard (Will Ferrell) and Bernard “Beanie” Campbell (Vince Vaughan). The story starts off with Mitch working away from home. He decides to surprise Heidi (Juliette Lewis), his girlfriend, by returning early but things don’t quite go to plan for him. The inevitable ... more

    Advantages Advantages Ok comedy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Back to School without the jokes..

    The well trodden road of the thirtysomething male mid-life crisis comedy is nothing new in American cinema, and when done well makes for an entertaining movie night in. It was brilliantly done with films like the Three Amigos and City Slickers, but not so clever with Three Men and Baby and Wild Hogs. Happily Old School is somewhere in-between, as was its later hybrid in the Wedding Crashers, Vince Vaughan and Will Ferrell appearing in both to great comic effect as the brash lets get it done sort of guys, alongside the lesser known Luke Wilson, brother to the genial Owen. Now not many people ... more

    Advantages Advantages Amusing, Silly, Good Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not a complete laugh riot

    I had wanted to see Old School for a while. It’s premise reminded me of the Simpson’s episode where Homer goes to college and tries to play pranks on the hip dean. However this was a movie from the makers of Road Trip which was one of those movies that initially seemed funny but soon wore out it’s welcome. However I’m pleased to report that Old School actually makes the grade. Mitch Martin (Luke Wilson) returns home early after a conference to find his girlfriend indulging in a threesome. After a one to one it appears than his girlfriend makes a habit of it constantly. With the help of his ... more
