Only fitfully funny, except when Ferrell is onscreen -- then you won't stop laughing.
A flatland of lowest-common- denominated retro-collegiate wackiness.
This is a raucous frat-school comedy that's dopey, degrading and disgusting -- and consistently hilarious.
An extremely funny and, of course, socially unredeemable comedy.
This movie's enough to give you a big fat Greek dreading.
This year's kinder, gentler Animal House.

Mitch (Luke Wilson) has just been cheated on and moved into a nice new bachelor pad right near the local college. But when threatened with eviction by the dean of the college, Mitch's buddies Beanie (Vince Vaughn) and Frank (Will Ferrell) suggest that the

The recess bell should have rung immediately into the first period of this frothy yet flat and insufferable scholastic satire.
If you like humor that's somewhere below the belt, then Old School is for you.
Will Ferrell ... makes about ten minutes of this movie side-splittingly hilarious. That's like finding a few pieces of crunchy cereal in a bowl of sour milk.
