Old School (2003)

 An early effort of the 2000s bro crew, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, each playing their designated role of witty cut-up, over the top physicality, and droll straight man.  Most of the plot is a reboot of Animal House (the fraternity, the schmucks, the dean, the revenge).  But we can't be too hard on the filmmakers whose heart was probably in the right place.

On review, the fun parts were seeing Todd Phillips director cues, which were really developed in The Hangover, a top effort.  Such as the van chase, the supporting characters, and the party scenes.

Good supporting performances by future stars Ellen Pompeo and Jeremy Piven.

A light snack of a movie.
