"We’re. We’re going streaking!" Will Farrell, one of the star
actors in the 2003 movie of Old School, screams as he runs
down the middle of the street naked. Along with his co-stars Luke Wilson and
Vince Vaughn, they try to relive their rambunctious college years by jumping
through hoops trying to re-opening a fraternity house on campus for everyone from
college students, to senior citizens.
This
comedy starts off right away with many witty jokes and humorous innuendos. Many
families should watch however on whom they are letting view this film, for they
have homophobic references along with other inappropriate scenes and dialogue. This
is not something that younger kids should be watching, due to the fact that
they may not be mature enough to see the content of the film. It’s pretty
evident that the audience for this film is college kids, and adults. Since the movie
is based off the lives of college kids, it is where the majority of the movie
takes place.
This movie aired in 2003.
Critics gave it four stars. In 2006 a sequel was written by Scot Armstrong.
However, it was turned down by stars Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn. They felt
that even though it had comical aspects to it, that it was just a repeat of the
original film.
Old School won many awards in 2003, including the best casting for feature
film, best Comedic Performance, best on screen team, and believe it or not in
2004 they won; best fire stunt. This movie had not only grabbed the attention
of audiences that enjoy comedy, but also the director and producers’ job in
creating a well- structured film. Will Farrell is by far the funniest actor in
my opinion. No matter what the movie, if he is starring in it, I am down to
watch. “Good luck to everybody. Nice to know you all and I'll see you around
campus.”
I love Will Farrell as an actor and thought this was a great review of the movie.
ReplyDeleteI thought Old School was a hilarious movie and you described it correctly. Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn both did great jobs but I agree that Will Farrell was the funniest.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good review. I also reviewed this movie and many of our thoughts are similar. I thought it was interesting that the actors turned down doing another Old School movie.
ReplyDeleteGreat movie review, you did a really good job describing it. I had no idea that the actors turned down another movie. In the end I think this was the best decision as it leaves this movie being a classic.
