Hilarious Movie, Nov 10 2004
All i can think of is *FRANK THE TANK! FRANK THE TANK! FRANK THE TANK!* haha it's so funny! come on people it's a comedy! I've been reading reviews and I know it's their opinion but they were saying how it was offensive and degrating? I don't understand. Why don't you watch the movie again but with an openmind. I absolutly recommend buying this, I watch it all the time. Just pop it in and laugh my ass off! Will Farrel (my favorite), Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn were terrific in this one.

Silly, but an outrageous farce, Mar 5 2004
I recently bought OLD SCHOOL and ROAD TRIP 2-pack DVD edition, and I'm proud to say it was worth all the money! This film is simply funny and the performances by Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn are downright good!
The trio: Mitch(Wilson), a dumped lawyer, Frank(Ferrell), a confused husband and Beanie(Vaughn) a raucous father, all decide to relive their glory days by starting a out-of-control "fraternity" in Mitch's home. Cauos ensues, and they get in trouble with the dean, who is planning to stop the raging party everyone is talking about. Of course audiences made this silly comedy a hit, and has fast become a popular party movie.
There are many memorable scenes in this movie, including the scene where Will Ferrell accidently shoots himself with a tranquilizar!
Ok, OLD SCHOOL has an ordinary premise, but the high energy and vast performances by the cast are highly recommended even for a single viewing.

College Life without the Education, Aug 19 2003
Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell give college a second try in the raucous comedy "Old School". A rowdy party for their depressed friend Mitch (Luke Wilson) becomes the talk of the local college campus and gives them the chance to relive their wild college lives. Soon, Mitch, Frank "The Tank" (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) form their own unorthodox fraternity whom crazy antics draw the attention of no-nonsense Dean Pritcher (Jeremy Piven). From director Todd Phillips (Road Trip), "Old School" is a hilarious comic romp but its no "Animal House". This wild comedy is good-natured fun with a great comic cast and off-beat humor. Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn are quite funny but it's Will Ferrell who delivers the movie's most outrageous laughs. The cast also includes Juliette Lewis, Elisha Cuthbert, Leah Remini and Sean William Scott.
If you enjoyed this funny comedy in theaters then "Old School" Unrated Edition is a recommended DVD purchase. Except for some slight nudity in the opening menu, there isn't much difference between the unrated and rated editions of "Old School". The movie is presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen format. The DVD contains a fine picture quality with good sharpness. The 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS sound options are quite clear and often engaging. The DVD features an audio commentary by cast members and director Todd Phillips, deleted scenes, a hilarious "Inside the Actors Studio" spoof and a short behind-the-scenes featurette. Overall, "Old School" Unrated Edition scores a "B-".
