Reviews by Score:
Screen It! (Jim Judy)
Certainly not as bad or painful to sit through as last year's Van Wilder , but still rather flat comedically and certainly dramatically. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Screen It! (Jim Judy)
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn clock in at an average age of 34, which is a little old to be a frat boy. It is not their age but their longevity, however, that I question. In ...read the complete Old School movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Philadelphia Inquirer (Carrie Rickey)
Old School has all the ingredients of an uproarious campus comedy, but it lacks a boisterous short-order cook who could whip up a food fight or three. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Philadelphia Inquirer (Carrie Rickey)
Internet Reviews (Steve Rhodes)
With jokes about fat people, beer guzzling and oral sex classes, the movie is about as fresh as last week's pizza. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Internet Reviews (Steve Rhodes)
Miami Herald (Connie Ogle)
Inept Animal House knockoff. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Miami Herald (Connie Ogle)
Fantastica Daily (Mervius)
Old School is another sloppy and unrewarding comedy. The story stalls out about the time we realize no original thought has gone into the script. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Fantastica Daily (Mervius)
The Movie Insider (Scott Weinberg)
Old School looks like it was written in an hour and filmed in a week. There's nothing more infuriating than watching funny people fail so consistently. You could film the cast of this movie in a library for 90 minutes and I guarantee it'd be funnier ...read the complete Old School movie review at The Movie Insider (Scott Weinberg)
eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)
Old School is testament that even the greatest improvisers in the world should be avoiding directors such as Todd Phillips like the clap. ...read the complete Old School movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Erik Childress)

Review by Mark Dujsik
There's nothing more socially
pathetic than people who just will not grow up.
One of the many major problems with Old
School is that it thinks such a mindset is amiable and worthwhile and
embraces it with a sort of ...read the complete Old School movie review at Mark Reviews Movies (Mark Dujsik)
Jerry Saravia
"Old School" has no real theme or value or any real laughs. Mostly, I watched ninetyminutes of this travesty without cracking so much as a smile. I liked the scene with "Crossfire's" James Carville on the debate team and Juliette Lewis is always a ...read the complete Old School movie review at Jerry Saravia
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (Ken Hanke)
I'll take a tip from Steely Dan -- I'm never going back to this Old School , but it certainly makes me ever so anxious for the director's threatened big-screen version of Starsky and Hutch . ...read the complete Old School movie review at Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (Ken Hanke)

Orlando Weekly (Steve Schneider)
A good excuse to rent Animal House or Rodney Dangerfield's Back to School one more time. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Orlando Weekly (Steve Schneider)
NutzWorld (Blake French)
As reviewers, this is likely our punishment for condemning so many of these films in the past. ...read the complete Old School movie review at NutzWorld (Blake French)
Film Values/Family Values (H. Arthur Taussig)
Bangor Daily News (Maine) (Christopher Smith)
The movie apparently was written under the influence of ephedra - it's thin and occasionally toxic, creating a sort of cinematic wasting, which amounts to nothing on-screen. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Bangor Daily News (Maine) (Christopher Smith)
Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Melinda Ennis)
Although a graduate of the Animal House school of tasteless, sophomoric humor, Old School gets docked many points due to its sloppy script and lame direction. ...read the complete Old School movie review at Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Melinda Ennis)
