merci pour le dvd le shipping est arriver vraiment plus tot que prévu je suis tres contente de l'avoir ca faisais longtemps que je voulais le revoir ce film encore merci et bonne journée

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.

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.

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-".

This film is fantastic...I love Will Ferrel and this is one of his best! If you enjoy him you'll enjoy this. It's ace. "There's a dart in my neck" "We're streaking, through the quad down to the gymnasium" Ha, i have it on my ipod i love it so much

The Funniest movie of 2003. This slapstick party comedy starring the King of comedy William Ferrel and also starring Lucas Wilson and Vincent Vaughn. The three men who relive their college years when they start a faternity. This film is laugh out loud hilarious. It's the Animal House of the 21st century. it's Ferrel's funniest act since Jay and Silent Bob and Saturday Night Live. The Best scene is Will Ferrel streaking " come on snoop, snoopaloop bring your green hat". This film will be a classic comedy some day. If you want screwball,slapstick comedy. or if you saw Anchorman first. You'll love Old School. It's a hell of a good parade of party animals. "Blue your my boy"

I'm a fan of Will Ferrell & was fully expecting to like this movie. Wrong! I suppose that if I were a teenage boy or a miserably unhappy married male, I would have enjoyed it, but no such luck. What a waste of time and money : (

Will Ferrell is one of those guys where you either really like him, or you don't. I'm a huge fan of his but this movie was crap. I'm entertained by juvenile gross-out comedies as much as the person but the story here is so familiar that I actually started to roll my eyes. Story is about Mitch Martin (Luke Wilson) who is in his early 30's and one night he catches his girlfriend Heidi (Juliette Lewis) having orgies. He moves out and lives in a house near the University and when his best friend Bernard (Vince Vaughn) finds out he convinces him to start a fraternity so that they can party every night and meet girls. They throw a wild party one night and Mitch's buddy Frank (Will Ferrell) gets wasted and goes streaking but is caught by his wife who throws him out of the house. Frank ends up living with Mitch and the three of them quickly become legends on campus. It's been done do death.

People complain that this is a rip-off of Animal House. It isn't. It is even worse. It is a rip-off of Revenge of the Nerds. Only it doesn't have the wit, charm or likeable characters.

My teenage kids watched this movie on the airplane during a family vacation. They saw I was renting the DVD and told me it was a crappy movie. I didn't believe them. I thought that because they were young, maybe they just didn't get it. Maybe they couldn't relate to some middle aged men trying to recapture some of their youth. Or maybe the jokes were just too mature or referenced too much of the seventies. But, they were right. It has nothing to do with character study at all. It is just a bunch of dumb, juvenile jokes that even teenagers don't think is funny.

This movie starts off promising, and there are some funny moments in the first half. But, after that, it just gets tiresome and boring. The last half is pulled right out of Revenge of the Nerds, where the frat house has to go through a number of trials to keep their house. The trials are so contrived and uninteresting that it is just excrutiating to watch.

I didn't think that the DVD extras were worth getting. How good can deleted scenes of a bad movie be?

I saw the "unrated" version, expecting some racy material. I don't know what was added, but it must have been a very tame movie in the theaters. This "unrated" version is just barely R. Will Ferrell's butt, a few quick glimpses of breasts and a suggested head job that really didn't happen. Airplane! was racier than this.

This looked like the last movie I would ever get, not being particularly into farces and screwball comedy. But
if Vince Vaughn ("Swingers", "Made") is in it, then I probably will give it a look. "Old School" fulfilled Vaughn's comic promise, but it is ensemble and great.

It starts out with just the right touch when Luke Wilson returns home and finds sexy girlfriend Juliette Lewis expecting not him but her "Internet friends," who are coming over "for the gangbang." Makes you want to do a Google search for "single girls looking for group sex."

This is an up-dated "Animal House", maybe better. Luke's post-Juliette recovery includes moving into a house next to the college, and when it looks like he cannot stay due to school regulations, they form a fraternity. Luke is a lawyer and his legal skills keep them above the dean's attempts to disband them as part of a childhood revenge.

Vince gives us great lines like, "What do you think, instead of spending time with my wife I'd rather hang out with 19-year old girls?"

USC grad Will Ferrell, who once tried out for the Trojans as a punter, may carry this film through sheer craziness. There is little message, just laughs. It has some mature themes, but despite Juliette's sexual wanderings is basically tame.

In the end, Juliette is still into swinging, when she invites Will to her next sexfest.
