Art Vandelay Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson are not, and never have been, funny. Decent dramatic actors. But not funny. Stiffler, or whatever his name is, is not funny. Does he even have a career anymore?Smarmy Craig Kilborn has never been funny. Is he behind the counter at a Quik- E-Mart these days? King of Queen's wife is not funny. Fat. But not funny. Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy is cute. But not funny. Old School rips off far better movies: Animal House. Fight Club. Stripes. The Graduate.But just when I thought this cr#pfest was in danger of sinking to a 3- or 4-star movie, Andy Dyck shows up to ''totally redeem this movie'' to paraphrase a line from Dumb and Dumber. I would rank Andy Dyck alongside Gallagher and Carrot Top as the most obnoxiously unfunny humans on Earth.Credit where it's due: he drove this right down to 1 star. Writer/director/producer Todd Phillips must hate comedy, audiences or both.

Luke_was_a_terrorist I will never, in my lifetime understand why so many people think this is not only hilarious but also a good movie. Only 1 of the 3 leads has any comic sensibility and his part (will ferrell) is played so over the top that it's almost pathetic. Vaughn and Wilson prove again they have no business in a comedy, Piven, usually funny is also wasted.The plot and screenplay, if you can call it that is something a 6th grade lunchroom could've come up with. But it's obvious that this movie is not about plot, but about jokes. The only problem is the premise is so pathetic and just down right stupid that the jokes fail.I know I am in the majority here, but I have seen the movie 3 times now, and have not so much as chuckled once, let alone laugh. Top 5 least favorite movies ever for me personally.

brendanrroberts This is one of my favorite movies of all time. So when I am in Antarctica hanging out with Kiwi's and one of them shouts "You're my boy Blue!" after downing a shot, you know this movie is great. We didn't make it to streaking through the quad, but we talked about it. :) See it if you haven't. Also there is a 10 line minimum, which means I will tell you about a boondoggle. So it is Saturday night and I am at the bar because it is cloudy out. So I get to talking to Phil and he works in the fire department. He has never seen aurora so he wants to drive out of town to see them. But the thing is, you need a permit to get to the cool areas over the hill and see some real aurora. I actually have a permit and can take guests, so I say, yeah sure lets go. It is cloudy so I don't think we will see much. So everyone is tipsy but Phil so he drives, we get a flat tire on the way up. Have to go fix that...which was a PITA, multiple stops, like an hour in -20deg F, then we get up there, like a 2 mile drive on volcanic rock and everyone is speechless it is so amazing.

tieman64 "Old School" is a somewhat funny comedy, in the vein of "Animal House", in which a group of middle aged men start a college fraternity in order to escape the drudgery of their middle class, white collar world.The film stars Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell, but possesses few jokes and little insight. What humour there is comes mostly from Vaughn and Ferrell. Ferrell plays his usual slow-witted, goofy, overly sincere gentle giant, and Vaughn's a deadpan quip-trader. Most of the film is slow, dull and plot-heavy, but these two make it bearable.Unlike most "teen sex comedies", this one is aimed squarely at older men. It's a "turn back the clock" fantasy, but one carefully designed to negate any of the unseemly aspects such a fantasy may entail. And so our heroes sleep with the bosses daughter and teenage girls, but it's okay because our heroes were unconscious and "she" wanted it. Likewise, our heroes dump their wives, but it's okay, because it is "she" who wanted to end things and their relationship wouldn't have worked anyway. And so on and so on.7/10 – See "Frat House", a documentary by Todd Phillips, or Frederick Wiseman's "High School" and "High School 2".
