Old School movie review

October 26, 2010 - #77/100
Old School (2003)

Near the beginning of the movie, Mitch's (Luke Wilson) crazy girlfriend named Heidi cheats on him, former party animal Frank (Will Ferrell) gets married, and Beanie (Vince Vaughn) is a typical family man. Once Mitch's life drastically changes, he moves into a house located on a college campus. Once he moves into the house, Frank is unable to let go of his wild life, and Beanie wants to reclaim his wild and crazy youth. Beanie then suggests that they form their own fraternity in Mitch's new house in order 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. They mainly start the fraternity because the new Dean of Students named Pritchard (Jeremy Piven), whom still holds a personal grudge against all three of them, is trying to find a way to evict Mitch. Even though the creation of the fraternity works for a while, the dean still manages to find a way to evict Mitch from the house. Therefore, the three of them need to work together in order to keep the fraternity alive. Surprisingly, this movie wasn't as over-the-top silly as I thought that it was going to be, but I still didn't really enjoy it that much. It was somewhat entertaining to watch, but I wouldn't ever really want to watch it again.

I gave this movie 5/10 stars on imdb.com.
