Comic gold. Todd Philips has a few funny movies but this is classic.

I was expecting alot more from all of the users reviews and I was a little disapointed but a few of the moments made up for it. If those few moments which I will not mention were throughout the whole movie I would have liked it alot more but it was still pretty good.

Just saw this movie on ABC, really a good movie.all the casts done a good job but Will Ferrell is awesome. Though Luke Wilson is the lead character Will is the star of this movie. Starting part of this movie isn't that great. Basically it's a fun to watch type movie with no depth in storyline but who cares about story when you enjoy a movie.

Old school was definitely a great comedy movie nonetheless it was expected since Will Farrell and Vince Vaughn are in it. I definitely had some great laughs and enjoyed this movie.

Of all of the Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn comedies, "Old School" is probably the best. It was one of the few movies that I saw multiple times in the theaters. "You're my boy, Blue!" will always stand out in my head as a classic line from this film.

  The whole plot is a shambles. And yet none of this matters much when you're laughing as hard as this film makes you laugh.

  Starts out silly, gets sillier by the minute, and frequently had me and most of the people around me in stitches.

  In terms of sheer belly-laugh count, this one's in the same plentiful company as "There's Something About Mary" and "Road Trip."

  It's blissfully, pants-wettingly funny from beginning to end.

  Will Ferrell is a fearless comedian, and he commits completely to his insanity in the film, and that makes it work.

  It's also a message movie, about as weighty as Lara Flynn Boyle and twice as absurd. But I'd like to report that I had an excellent time.

  The disconnect between what men say and what they do makes Old School funnier than most of its gags and it also invests the movie with curious pathos.

  It’s party time, and the movie is wild and crude without being mean--it’s a comedy of infantile regression, “Animal House” for grownups. [17 March 2003, p. 154]

  The 1978 frat-house classic "Animal House," starring the late, great John Belushi, is the model for testosterone-mad comedies such as this, and while it hasn't that film's scope or finesse, Old School does have Ferrell, a man clearly in touch with his inner Belushi.

  In lieu of a toga party, one scene treats us to an octogenarian fraternity member wrestling two topless townie lookers slathered in KY Gel. Hey, there's no stopping progress.

  Ultimately, the immensely personable and talented lead actors manage to push aside the disquieting notion that this group of men are so emotionally stunted that they're happy to abandon their wives and children for the sake of a party.

  Old School is exactly what director Todd Phillips intends for it to be: low-brow, moronic to a fault, and occasionally side-splittingly funny.

  A good laugh is almost never a bad thing and almost every frame of Old School is grade A goofball fun.

  This year's kinder, gentler "Animal House."
