Profile of Old School

Old School can be described as humorous. The plot revolves around adolescence vs. adulthood, college life, and starting over. Its comic aspect comes from farce and irreverent humor. Old School's main genre is comedy. In terms of style, it features an all-star cast. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Old School is located in California and New York. It takes place in contemporary times. It is well suited for teens and a boys' night. Note that Old School involves drugs/alcohol, nudity, and sexual content.

Summary of Old School

In Todd Phillips' OLD SCHOOL, Mitch (Luke Wilson), a thirtysomething businessman, has found himself living a boring, mundane lifestyle. Unfortunately for him, his girlfriend, Heidi (Juliette Lewis), has been getting more adventurous on her own, by throwing wild sex parties while he's away. When Mitch catches her in the act, he moves out and takes up residence in a house close to the local university. This prompts his buddies--the newly married Frank (Will Ferrell) and Beanie (Vince Vaughn), a jaded husband, father, and stereo-store tycoon--to throw Mitch a huge party in honor of his renewed single status. Antics at the party lead to the formation of a makeshift fraternity where age and academics don't matter, and Mitch is the reluctant "godfather." But when the university's scheming dean (Jeremy Piven) catches wind of the new fraternity, he becomes determined to stop their fun. Will the boys overcome the dean's sinister plans? Will Mitch find love again? Will Frank please stop running around naked? And, hey, isn't that the cute girl who plays Jack Bauer's daughter on the TV series 24? These questions--and many more--are answered in the giddily fun and unabashedly immature OLD SCHOOL.

Critics Reviews

USA Today
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.
Salon.com
It's blissfully, pants-wettingly funny from beginning to end.

Users Reviews

I lost one and half hour of my life
It was really hard to stay until the end of the movie : there are just two or three funny jokes in the entire movie, the author has no inspiration and the story is very soporific. In one word : awful ! I recommand this movie to nobody !
Hilarious comedy
This movie is very clever and funny. The jokes in it are classic, watch and you will see it will easily become one of your favorites.
Likely to see
