Review of Old School (2003) by William C — 28 Jan 2015

Grade:High 6/10.

Old school is a funny movie with a funny cast, maybe not the funniest.

Movie ever but with a nice plot and a film that doesn't have to make.

You laugh to be good, this is worth a watch. I did think maybe I.

Overrated this at first but the film is actually pretty good with some.

Nice jokes added into an ever revealing storyline, and with some.

Physical comedy actors to go, this is film has quality. I felt the film.

Was Solidly OK and here below is why I felt that about it all.

The story is a college fraternity type film, and you may be thinking ".

We have had this all before" ,but this has a twist, the main characters.

Aren't college students, they have jobs, families and they never get to.

Party, well until now. The pacing is good, the movie not too long and.

The although the jokes aren't a plenty and takes along time for the.

First funny thing to be said, it still manages to be kind of funny by.

The end. The story end's in a smart way as well with hints of more high.

School films coming in but it still remains the working dad's and there.

House.

Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are the main guys in this.

And without them I would have rated this poor, although none of them.

Are at comedy best, they still manage to churn out a respectfully funny.

Performance. I did enjoy there support too and the characters that hang.

Around there house are all fun guys, I didn't quite appreciate the.

Acting of the Dean Jeremy Piven, but he doesn't ruin it too much at.

All.

Todd Phillips in a sense runs the whole thing and contributes to the.

Script but also directs, and I felt without the firm direction of.

Phillips, the film would suffer more so hats off to his contribution to.

The film. Some funny stunts they do can be hilarious and make you.

Genuinely chuckle, one such part is at Vince Vaughn's sons birthday.

Party when Ferrell(MAYBE A SPOILER HERE FOR SOME) get's well, darted by.

A zoo keeper and I won't ruin the sequence but it made me laugh more.

Than at any other time in the movie.

The film's main bad point is that it isn't all THAT funny and jokes do.

Occasionally miss the mark badly, it doesn't make this film bad at all.

But contributes to it's lower mark. I also felt maybe the characters.

Could have put more back into it as although they are funny, people.

Such as Ferrell should be much more funny and do a lot more of what we.

Have seen before of him. Finally the script isn't all so solid but I.

Won't mention too much about it because that would just drag it right.

Down, which is doesn't deserve.

I think those into these kind of early 2000's college comedies should.

Enjoy and although it is a different type crudeness wise to things like.

American Pie and such (mainly because they main characters are mature.

Adults), it may not please everyone, but should overall. Same again for.

People who shouldn't watch, the film isn't afraid of being itself and.

Letting it's hormones go so if you dislike crude, better stay away.

Overall I give it a high 6/10 meaning it is Solidly a OK movie but offers very.

Little more than this, my rating is stretching it to it's highest.

Point, maybe I felt nice on the day. If you a teen watch it because it.

Has all the hallmarks of teen moves today, but another thing is if you.

Were a teen or in college in the early 2000's, it should be a massive.

Nostalgic trip back to them day's, oh and might make you laugh.
