Old School (Widescreen Unrated Edition)

Amazon.com

When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly to save Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claim for academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return to the reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilson along with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of all ages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hanging on a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and just enough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-system ending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and frequently funny movie. Featuring Jeremy Piven and Juliette Lewis, with cameos by Snoop Dog, Andy Dick, and others. --Bret Fetzer

A Classic!.......2007-08-15

The funniest movie I've seen in years. I don't usually like "frat boy" humor, but this is the one exception.

Meh..........2007-08-10

Ever watch a movie the first time and laugh so hard your stomach hurts, then watch it again and think...now what was funny about that? Enter, Old School. and there ya go...

C'mon bring your green hat........2007-07-14

Getting to watch Will Farrell and Vince Vaugh start their own fraernity is enough to catch my interest. This is one of my favorite comedy movies and I highly recommend it. What could be funnier then watching Will Farrell stumble around a kids party after being shot in the neck with an animal tranquilizer? And thats only one of the many hilarous parts. It's definately a great one to pop in when you're hanging out with the guys.

All-time classic.......2007-06-27

Old School will go down as an all-time classic comedy! Love Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell. There wasn't enough Will Ferrell, but that's what made his parts so great. Great movie! A must have for anyones collection.

Animal House? Get outta here.......2007-05-23

Must be 40 yr olds that think animal house is some devine movie, The younger generation such as I(28)know that Old School is waaaaaaayyyyy better! no contest. i've seen both and I personally Think your a dumbass to think animal house even compares to old school, and someone should take your keyboard away and ban you from amazon! Later Losers.

Fans of comedian Jamie Kennedy will probably best appreciate this lightweight comedy about a breakdancing fool who gets a second chance at stardom. Kennedy is top-billed as a hip-hop fanatic whose breakdancing moves put him in a coma circa 1987; 20 years later, he's revived and wants to reunite his crew, but finds they've moved on in less than spectacular ways. The affections of his school crush (TV reporter Maria Menounos) prove to be enough inspiration for him, but there's a former rival (Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum) to overcome. Kennedy is a funny performer, and he's well supported by Rosenbaum and Miguel Nunez Jr., as one of his crew, but an overreliance on bathroom humor and '80s kitsch is a clear signal that the screenwriters were floundering once they got past the initial concept. The Old Skool DVD includes full-screen and widescreen versions of the film, as well as a selection of deleted scenes. --Paul Gaita

Description

A young break dancer (Jamie Kennedy) hits his head during a talent show and slips into a coma for 20 years. Waking up in 2006, he looks to revive his break dancing career with the help of his girlfriend and his parents, while dealing with all of the changes the world has gone through over the past 20 years.

Loved it.......2007-09-11

Ok first of all, I was born in '81 so of course, I am biased via the nostalgic 80's toy references in this movie. I liked the cast, everyone seemed to know their role pretty well and either made you laugh till you cried or made you hate them. Rosenbaum's villain is easily one of the most hateable people you'll ever see as he plays a sassy, rich boy, conceited bully that seems to have no soul. And the "homeless guy" is one of the characters that make you laugh out loud when you're quoting his lines months down the road. SO MANY memorable lines in this one! One of my favorite comedies in my collection.

Mildly Nastolgic Snore-Fest.......2007-09-08

As a child of the 80's, I was quite excited to check this out and maybe relive some 80's memories and maybe have a few laughs since this did star Jamie Kennedy who's unscripted antics can often have me doubled over in laughter.

What a disappointment.

First of all, the 80's portion of the movie was not only brief, but inaccurate. And then worst, the movie was hardly funny. I chucked a couple of times but I expected so much more from Kennedy. In the end, it turned into a slapstick comedy aimed at eleven year olds. There is just one problem with that.... eleven year olds will not understand this movie because they don't understand the world pre-Internet, pre-politically correct, pre-New Star Wars, pre-iPod, and pre-White Michael Jackson. The jokes of Different Strokes, Beta Max, Night Rider, Smurfs, Garbage Pail Kids, and others will go right over their heads.

In the end, I rate this a waste of my time and can't really fathom who the target market of this film was. I often end my reviews saying who would like and who wouldn't like a certain movie/book/video game/etc but I can't think of anybody who this movie would be intended for unless you are really hard up on catching a new flick. Do your self a favor and don't bother yourself with this movie.

Brings back great memories.......2007-09-05

Anyone who had the privilege of growing up a child of the 80's will find this film moderately funny. It has all the classic nuances that made the 80's! Garbage Pail Kids, Smurfs, Break dancing and Star Wars! How could you go wrong...? In short, if you want a short break from reality and want some great laughs, check it out!

You call this a movie?.......2007-08-30

What a waste of time, and a pathetic excuse of a movie. I went to college in the 80's, dancing and people had a heck of alot more class than that!! Don't waste your time or money on this piece of junk. If they had a zero rating I would have used that instead.

What a piece of du du.......2007-08-30

This movie could not have been worse. An entire movie and maybe 3 or 4 laughs the whole time. The romance story was absurd, the acting was awful, the story itself was ridiculous. The dancing... dancing? Well, I guess that is what they were doing, why couldn't they get some real break dancer to sit in for these no talent actors.

Don't rent or ever buy this movie. It has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life and I grew up in the 80's. The references to everything 80's was amusing, but the movie was so obnoxious and stupid, that it detracted from it. A movie that could have been funny and good turned out to be such garbage.

Better to be in a coma during the movie than actually watching this trash.

Customer Reviews:

"I like it!".......2007-09-03

Everyone is over analyzing this movie. It's just plain fun and light-not too serious or deep. I first saw this on public tv in the late 80's and prior to that didn't even know it existed as in the past I had seen "The Trouble With Angels" several times and even recorded it off of a public tv station here in Chicago on a beta machine back in 1982.

Stella Stevens always seems to be stereo typed into these roles in which her character is loud, boisterous and hyper; ie. "Linda Rogo" in the original movie "The Poseidon Adventure." Here, "Sister George" is no exception-there are moments when I fully support what her character's beliefs and ideas are and then there are times when she gets too loud and irritating.

My favorite scene is when the girls shortened their hems of their skirts and were go-go dancing to that 60's style at the all boys school and the band singing the theme song of the movie. I couldn't get that song off of my mind when I first saw this film and caught myself singing it to myself numerous times!

This is not as good as the original film........2007-07-29

My granddaughter really enjoyed Hayley Mills in the original film and wanted to see the sequel. She was disappointed that Mills was not in it and it didn't keep her attention. My husband and I watched it and there are so many scenes of the bus and the title song that it is pretty ridiculous. There are a few fun moments though. I remember it being much more enjoyable when I saw it on the big screen. I'd have to say it is a wholesome movie though so more worthwhile that most other stuff out there for kids today.

Wish there were more.......2007-06-27

I have always loved these movies and I would love to see more like them.

Fun, nostalgic film.......2007-06-24

A great sequel to "The Trouble With Angels" that reflects the Catholic church at a time when it was actively trying to look forward, rather than regress.

A strait-laced but good-hearted older Mother Superior is convinced by a younger, progressive nun to take a load of high school girls to a peace rally (yes, a peace rally! Try that with a Catholic school these days) in California. They have various mis-adventures, and everyone learns a thing or two: Including both the older and younger nun.

Even if you're not a Catholic, you're sure to find some fun and nostalgia in this film.

Where Angels Go Trouble Follows.......2006-12-29

Yuck! I agree with the reviewers who say this shouldn't be called a sequel. This movie shows what must have gone wrong in the Church to have had such an exodus from the convents during the 70's. Thankfully, the trend is reversing. The first movie was cute. I wanted to share it (The Trouble With Angels), with my daughter and got this one by mistake. I had seen it (Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows), when I was growing up and remember being disappointed that is wasn't more like the first movie. I had to shut this "sequal" off after about 20 mins. We're going to double ck. our titles next time!

Laugh out loud!.......2005-05-24

Even though the blurb on the back made me hesitate to watch this film, I had heard it was funny. So with little expectations, I was surprised at how often I laughed out loud while watching it. Luke Wilson plays a nice guy with bad luck in love who is egged on by his not-so-well meaning friend, played by Vince Vaughn, to turn his house on campus into a fraternity house. Will Ferrell is of course the main source of slap stick humor, but he does it so well.

It is a step above the usual dumb-is-funny comedies and worth a watch.
