Old School

Jovial comedy Old School sees three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn) deciding to form a college 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 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

  Life is too short - don't waste it on this.
  
  This is a dreadful film. I have been known to enjoy a bozo film like Wedding Crashers etc. but this really is a pile of... nonsense.

- WENN Newsdesk
- 09 Mar 2012
Funnyman Will Ferrell is convinced he deserves an Oscar nod for his new Spanish-language movie Casa De Mi Padre - because he had to improvise in a foreign tongue. The Old School star studied Spanish intensively for 23 days before filming began and insists he should be rewarded for his efforts. Ferrell tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "It was a 23-day Spanish fever dream. I'm so glad I did it. People keep asking me, 'Did it cut down on your ability to improvise?' I'm like, 'Hell, yes!' "I... Read more
