Movie Review: Old School

Saturday, August 8, 2009
Synopsis: Mitch, Frank and Beanie are disillusioned with their personal lives begining when Mitch's nymphomanic girlfriend, Heidi, cheats on him, then former party animal Frank gets married, but unwilling to get go of his wild life, and Beanie is a family man seeking to reclaim his wild and crazy youth. Beanie suggests that they form their own fraternity in Mitch's new house on a college campus to re-live their glory days by bringing together a variety of misfit college students, losers, middle-aged and elderly retirees as their new friends and later try to avoid being evicted by the new Dean of Students, Pritchard, whom still holds a personal grudge against all three of them.

Starring: Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Jeremy Piven, Ellen Pompeo
Directed by: Todd Phillips
U.S. Rating: R

A funny and very entertaining plot, when three old friends trying to escape from their lives and daily routines decide to create their own fraternity with the weirdest selection of losers and old people, trying to bring back their golden years at school.

What did I like from this movie?

1. Definitely, the whole situation with Blue was one of the funniest components in this plot.
2. I really laughed when they went out and kidnapped the first members of their new fraternity, when they're hunting one by one with their women stocks in their heads and can't be mean with some of them or their relatives (ex. the scene at the parking lot).
3. The reason why Frank can't drink... he totally loses his mind. After falling on this temptation at the welcome party, he runs naked to the gymnasium, really funny.
4. The whole qualification process to be accepted and all the tests they had to face.

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. It could be even more entertaining and funny. I believe the cast brought three really funny movie comedians, so we could expect more from it, but it was really entertaining though. I can't wait for the sequel in 2011!

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
