Old School Reviews?
 

I'm looking forward to this one so much.. has anyone got a review handy?

none yet but just to let you know, the only way to get this movie in widescreen (2:35:1 to be exact) is to get the unrated version which is about 3 min longer.

There's one on here, and this dvd also has a commentary from Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and the director. It also has unrated menus as well (kind of like van Wilder.)

thanks, I cant wait for it either.

I feel like I am one of the few people who really didn't care for this movie, but they did put quite a bit of care in the DVD. If you're a fan of the movie, it's a must buy. If you're thinking about a blind buy, rent it first.

I agree. I can't think of any reason to ever see this again.....Very average.....

That's why they don't hold a gun to your head when you walk into a DVD store :D

I thought the movie was very funny. Will Ferrell is hilarious.

I think the first half of movie was very funny. After that, it got kinda dumb.

But, with the extras on this I think it's a good $14.99 DVD to add to your comedy collection.

I bought it blind, watched it last night and loved it. Like any good brainless comedy, you'll remember it more for specific bits than the plot, but some of the specific bits are the funniest I've seen in a long time. Will Ferrell is great in this.

"Blue! You're my BOY!"

I would give this a 6/10. It had some funny bits in it but they were too few and far between IMO. I think it's a good rental but I wouldn't pick it up.

my god. i am glad i rented this. there were many positive posts in the movie forum when this came out, i almost went to see it theaters. it's just not very funny. will ferrell is great and can usually get me to laugh no matter what but not enough to make this movie worth it. the extra spoofing inside the actors studio is pretty funny though, assuming you know the show. i actually laughed out loud a few times, so imho it was more enjoyable than the movie.

the nudity mentioned on the menu isn't exactly like van wilder. it just shows a few clips in a small box from the movie.

The first half of most comedies is the best part, the trick is keeping up the pace in the second half. Though the second half of the film wasn't near as good as the first it didn't suck. (Same thing w/ Super Troopers - great first half, okay second half.) It would have helped if the trailers didn't ruin the gymnastics scene involving Vince Vaughn. That was a classic scene that would have been even stronger if the whole country hadn't scene it in the trailer months before-hand.

I am intrigued by the commentary track myself. Can't wait to listen to it when I finally get around to picking it up.

I found the movie hilarious.
As for the DVD, the picture is excellent and for a mainly dialogue-driven movie the DTS sound comes across very nicely.
There's some pretty funny extras, too.
Overall, for $14.99 it was an excellent purchase.

Blue Rocked!

Loved it!

Old School

I liked it too. Mostly because there wasn't really any "gross out" comedy. It was just funny.

That's why I like Super Troopers as well.

My wife and I were both crying from laughing so hard during a couple of different scenes during this movie. I got it as part of my last CH membership, so definitely a good blind buy for under $7.00.

This was a blind buy for me this weekend. It was okay. I probably should have rented it because 1 viewing would have been sufficient.

The first half of the movie was absolutely frickin' hilarious! After that it seemed liked it turned into a rehash of Animal House which, while it isn't a bad thing, I think Will Ferrell could have come up with something better.

I thought it was funny, but I was still somewhat disappointed. It was almost a blind buy for me until I decided to rent it first...definitely glad I rented it first. I really didn't like the Will Ferrell and his wife part of the storyline - could have used Will for a lot funnier stuff.

Yeah, I thought this one was pretty good

Old School Review

I didn't like it as much as Todd Phillips' other movie "Road Trip." I'm not buying it.

Agreed. I love Road Trip and that's the main reason I bought the DVD. I will hang onto it because it was funny, but not great by any means.

Here's another review to throw into the mix:

I thought it had some funny lines, but I don't think I'm going to buy it.
