Following in a long tradition of college comedies that stretches back, believe it or not, beyond the memory of pretty much anyone living, comes this movie which has a pretty good concept but doesn't exploit the comedic or filmic possibilities enough to make it a good film. My friend and I saw this movie at the drive-in theater in Sacramento, CA, and we were in a proper state of mind for a film of this type, so it did sustain our interest fairly well. There were one or two really funny scenes, mostly thanks to Ferrell.
Artie Lang -- were you really in this movie? I think you had, like, one line.
There were a lot of people in this movie -- Vince Vaughn, Juliette Lewis, Craig Kilborn -- who I could really say "what are you doing in this movie?" I know what Artie Lang and Jeremy Piven are doing in this movie, they have nothing else to do!
To be fair, Piven is a genre pro, having appeared to somewhat equal effect in a similar movie, "P.C.U.", in which David Spade played the role he plays in "Old School".
Better luck next time, guys, but thanks for the memories. fans of this genre will have to wait for next time for a really good movie.....
