Old School (2003)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Fresh and Exciting

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerFirst off, this comedy is hilarious. The story is easy to follow, simple, and full of funny jokes and hilarious gags. I thought this film was genuinely funny and I truly enjoyed it. The characters are all funny and are all likeable.The acting is very good. Luke Wilson is by far the best. He is a likeable, funny, and good-hearted man looking for a fresh start. Vince Vaughn is also hilarious. His one-liners are always well timed. Will Ferrell plays a weird and sometime socially awkward man who at times can be very funny. I found his character to be the weakest and at times he was really annoying. Jeremy Piven's character is not well developed and very, very annoying.The pacing is a little slow and the runtime is overlong.Pros: Hilarious story, good jokes, Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn are both hilarious, and most the characters are likeableCons: Some slow pacing, an overlong runtime, Jeremy Piven and his bad performance, and Will Ferrell's character is a little annoyingOverall Rating: 7.0

To be honest I am writing this for the (like minded) people who didn't find this movie entertaining. I sat thru this movie for a simple reason. I watched lots of films at that time. I was attending college and drank heavily, this film's key demographic. I found the whole timbre of this movie most disturbing. Most people, although yearning for their own youth, would not wish to play the naive part over again. The lead characters of this movie are strikingly unrealistic in their success despite almost no effort. They all live in nice homes, drive new cars (except for the smoking trans am, the films only good performance) and have stable lives many on this earth could only dream of. Yet we are to believe that this existence is some sort of torture for them because they can't act like drunken buffoons and belong to a fraternity? Have you ever met a women even remotely resembling this movie's stereotypes? It's as though they are trying to justify the poor treatment of them. Much comedy is based on people having the wrong reaction to normal situations. The (clearly misogynistic) writers seem to have purposely eschewed clever in favor of obnoxious. The personas portrayed are really nasty, vindictive sadists terrified of the implications of adulthood. In particular the divorce scene is beyond obtuse. The funeral scene was no picnic either. Best avoided.

This film is must watch viewing for any man who loves the spirit of abandoning responsibilities and getting effed up. I hardly laugh at comedies, this one had me laughing my ass off and made me love will ferrell where once he used to make me want to chuck a brick at the screen in the hope it was a magic screen and might hit him in the face (Incidentally he provides most of the laughs in the film). If you don't like him the film is still very watchable, and you never know you may end up falling in love with him as well. Noticed some of the reviews saying the comedy is crass or toilet humour but this is simply not true for the most part as the biggest laughs comes from the characters and gets richer with each viewing. Simply superb.

I can't believe that people that are older than the age of 18 actually liked this movie. It is moronic, childish, and immature. Will Ferrell does his usual SNL acting, which wasn't to good in the first place. Everyone else seemed to be in this movie because they wanted the paycheck. Therefore, didn't take this job seriously and did not do the best job they could have. I think that everyone in this movie was trying to pretend that they were actually younger and more immature than they actually where. Adding to the actual negativitity of this movie. I don't know how to explain how terrible this movie is without actually using bad language and added swear words. The best way to describe it is that this movie is for the very immature and self centered losers who peaked in high school and couldn't climb out of being a kid and actually become a REAL Adult who is successful personally as parents and REAL Adults. I am very disappointed. Unless you are a 15 year old male kid then I suggest that you keep away from this movie.
