    The whole plot is a shambles. And yet none of this matters much when you're laughing as hard as this film makes you laugh.

    A good laugh is almost never a bad thing and almost every frame of Old School is grade A goofball fun.

    The movie is never more than the sum of its scattershot jokes; it's sloppily put together, with scenes seemingly cut mid-dialogue.

    One of my favourite movies of the decade! It made me laugh, which is no mean feat. I've only ever heard good things from people I know who've seen it. A must see!… Expand

    This movie is flat out stupid. Had some really dumb parts in the film and some that were very funny. Characters are totally worthless and the acting was quite pitiful. Decent enough for a comedy.… Expand

    I don't get it. A few funny moments and a lot of pap.
