Some things I liked some I did not.

Best movie ever!

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

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

I think it is impossible to not like this classic comedy, jam packed with action and funny jokes from the get go. Of course Will Ferell plays a huge roll in this movie being amazing, when paired with Luke Wilson, who is not cracking jokes and being funny all the time, makes up for a perfect comedy movie. Maybe it could have had more party scenes, since it was a movie about a high school fraternity made by 3 grown men after all, but nonetheless the movie is a great watch if you like Will Ferell and comedies in general. A major upset for me, however, was the fact that Luke Wilson's character didn't actually try to make a move on his bosses daughter, which he previously had hooked up with, that would be a cool part that could have been incorporated into the movie to make it even better.

Rating-6/10Old school is a funny movie with a funny cast, maybe not the funniest movie ever but with a nice plot and a film that doesn't have to make you laugh to be good, this is worth a watch. I did think maybe I overrated this at first but the film is actually pretty good with some nice jokes added into an ever revealing storyline, and with some physical comedy actors to go, this is film has quality. I felt the film was Solidly OK and here below is why I felt that about it all.The story is a college fraternity type film, and you may be thinking " we have had this all before" ,but this has a twist, the main characters aren't college students, they have jobs, families and they never get to party, well until now. The pacing is good, the movie not too long and the although the jokes aren't a plenty and takes along time for the first funny thing to be said, it still manages to be kind of funny by the end. The story end's in a smart way as well with hints of more high school films coming in but it still remains the working dad's and there house.Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are the main guys in this and without them I would have rated this poor, although none of them are at comedy best, they still manage to churn out a respectfully funny performance. I did enjoy there support too and the characters that hang around there house are all fun guys, I didn't quite appreciate the acting of the Dean Jeremy Piven, but he doesn't ruin it too much at all.Todd Phillips in a sense runs the whole thing and contributes to the script but also directs, and I felt without the firm direction of Phillips, the film would suffer more so hats off to his contribution to the film. Some funny stunts they do can be hilarious and make you genuinely chuckle, one such part is at Vince Vaughn's sons birthday party when Ferrell(MAYBE A SPOILER HERE FOR SOME) get's well, darted by a zoo keeper and I won't ruin the sequence but it made me laugh more than at any other time in the movie.The film's main bad point is that it isn't all THAT funny and jokes do occasionally miss the mark badly, it doesn't make this film bad at all but contributes to it's lower mark. I also felt maybe the characters could have put more back into it as although they are funny, people such as Ferrell should be much more funny and do a lot more of what we have seen before of him. Finally the script isn't all so solid but I won't mention too much about it because that would just drag it right down, which is doesn't deserve.I think those into these kind of early 2000's college comedies should enjoy and although it is a different type crudeness wise to things like American Pie and such (mainly because they main characters are mature adults), it may not please everyone, but should overall. Same again for people who shouldn't watch, the film isn't afraid of being itself and letting it's hormones go so if you dislike crude, better stay away.Overall I give it a 6/10 meaning it is Solidly a OK movie but offers very little more than this, my rating is stretching it to it's highest point, maybe I felt nice on the day. If you a teen watch it because it has all the hallmarks of teen moves today, but another thing is if you were a teen or in college in the early 2000's, it should be a massive nostalgic trip back to them day's, oh and might make you laugh.

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.
