Comedy A trio of thirty-something buddies tries to recapture the outrageous, irrepressible fun of their college years by starting their own off-campus frat house. Mitch, Frank and Beanie have all reached a crossroads in their lives. They can choose to be responsible adults, with wives, families and steady jobs--or they can postpone adulthood in favor of the reckless abandon of frat house living with all the fun and none of the education.

	Author	Review
United States	Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"This sloppy, dumb, though occasionally funny comedy is so derivative of 'Animal House' (...) that it's like one of those by-the-numbers imitative movies Homer Simpson is so obsessed with."	NEG
United Kingdom	Jamie Russell BBC	"It's a hilariously funny and unexpectedly warm look at three men who just want to be boys again (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Paul Clinton CNN	"A hodgepodge of a muddle of a mess (...) 'Old School' doesn't even deserve to go to video and DVD"	NEG
United States	Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle	"God bless [Ferrell's] little idiot-savant smile and vanity-free bared buttocks. They elevate 'Old School' to a higher plane of asinine (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Unsure of myself, I avoid altogether the question of 'Old School's' veracity and move on to its humor, which is easier to master because there is so little of it. This is not a funny movie (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
