Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.
'Old School' is not a good movie but it sure is fun. Luke Wilson, Will
Ferrell and Vince Vaughn start their own fraternity and wether that is
possible or not (they are all over 30) I had a great time watching it.
Mitch (Wilson) comes home early from work and finds his wife (Juliette
Lewis) hosting a gangbang. He moves to a place practically on the campus
ground. Of course this gives trouble since he is not studying. To avoid the
trouble he and his two friends, Frank (Ferrell) and Beanie (Vaughn), start a
fraternity which seems to be allowed. Frank just got married but is kicked
out because his wife caught him while he was drunk and streaking. Beanie is
married and he has his child with him all the time.
The new love interest for Mitch is Nicole (Ellen Pompeo), probably the best
thing in the movie. She is gorgeous and charming. She likes him but has a
boyfriend. You know what will happen in a movie like this in that part. Most
other parts are pretty predictable as well, but the actors and some very
nice scenes make this fun anyway.
