Old School

One of my favorites

great movie with a super cast of actors

I made my NYE guests watch it. They sucked it up and ended up laughing

Classic

I didn't see this movie when it came out in the theaters as I thought the movie looked pretty stupid. Then I saw Dodgeball and that was my first introduction to Vince Vaughn. I liked his "Bill Murryesque" portrayal in that movie so I decided to see what else he was in. A friend recommended Old School and with low expectations for the movie, I rented it. I watched it first by myself and giggled most of the way through. Then later, my husband and I watched it and this time I liked it even better. I liked the fact that even though these guys on the surface seemed to be jerks, underneath they were actually pretty nice guys. A great example of that in the movie is when Beanie is alone with a coed in his room at the "frat" house and she comes on to him. You can tell he is torn, but ultimately, tells her "I can't, I'm married." I just love that scene and Vaughn is brilliant with it. YOu can see that even as he is turning her down that he wishes he could be that kind of guy who would cheat on his wife. FOr all his blustering about how miserable wife and kids are, he is actually a sweet dad, and a loyal husband. It is this type of little nuance that saves this movie from being just another stupid bad boy comedy. The big laughs are there as well. OF course the famous streaking scene is hilarious, but I had seen most of that in trailers so it wasn't a surprise. The scene in the van when they pick up their recruits is another hilarious part. But there are many more funny little lines here and there that to me make up the best parts of the movie. For example, when Will Ferrell is describing his weekend plans of going to home depot etc, to the college kids, I just crack up. The gentle way Vaughn is with his son and baby and then "ear muffs" them and swears etc, is great. And the birthday party scene with Beanie yelling at a pledge who took the headpiece off of his costume because it would upset the kids while he is dressed up as clown and is chainsmoking and drinking. I could go on but I will stop now and just go watch it again! ALot of people have complained about the ending and I disagree. I liked the way they took the tests etc and beat the dean. The dance scene in the gym makes the whole last third of them movie worth it. The performances are all very good although I don't really think that this sort of comedy is Luke Wilson's forte. He was ok as a straight guy, but I don't really think he could play a funny part. Will Ferrell was very good, but his ending bothered me. I kept hoping he would pull out of his alcoholic ways at the end. If I really think about that, it is sort of depressing. Vaughn was the fantastic,especially compared to the laid back performance he gave in Dodgeball. I hope his upcoming films will not disappoint. As for this movie, buy it, kick back and don't be embarassed to laugh at the non-pc, sexist, silly, sometimes vulgar, but essentially sweet nature of the movie
