Saw this the other day. Way better than expected. Pretty much made for people who drink in excess and find their memories to be fragmented the next day. The greatest thing about the movie was how the night before was something these guys were never gonna get back, which is why a prequel would completely kill it. It just wouldn't be able to leave up to the credits. Besides, you learn quite a bit about what happens.
Some of the jokes shot for the lowest common denominator (e.g. the Asian guy and the old guy at the hospital) but others were great. Zack Galifinakis stold the show as he brought probably the most bizarre and original brand of comedy to the table. Cooper and Helms were also great in their own rights. Overall, pretty funny.
I saw this Sunday. Although I defintely didn' dislike it or anything like that, I was far from impressed. To think that this has already grossed over $265 Million WW, is literally shocking.
I think the movie was well done, well acted, and well put together, but nothing really that different from countless others like it, over the years. Budgted at $35 Million, this seems like a big risk, especially with the complete lack of star power (I only recognized Heather Graham and Iron Mike). Why everyone is so enamored with this flick is totally beyond me.
Yeah, I laughed, yeah, I thought it was engaging, and yeah, I was quite shocked by some of the stills during the credits, but when you think back about it, is it something you'd want to see again? I wouldn't.
Oh well, congrats to the producers here...they scored 1 of the biggest movie successes of all time. as this will go on to gross over $300 Million on a $35 Million budget. Nothing wrong with a little 10 times your investment.
It was funny...I laughed many times. For a comedy, I thought it was pretty good.
My point is that this movie is going to gross over $300 Million WW! That's crazy for this sort of movie. I'm shocked it's so popular and critically, so well reviewed, cause it's really justa simple little, zany Vegas romp, raunchy comedy.

Part of it was just good timing. Nobody, including the studios, expected it to do as well as it did considering it was opening against Will Ferrell and Land of the Lost. But since that movie got such bad reviews and the ads for the Hangover just looked so much better, everything worked out well in the end.
Plus Old School is insanely popular amongst college students, probably even more than 40 Year Old Virgin and Superbad. Todd Phillips' name would also certainly go a long way.

Definitely the target market, and let's be fair, most people can relate to this.

Absolutely. The number of people who still yell: "You're my boy, Blue".
This was a decent film. I mean, I can see why it has been so popular. The premise was a little too "Very Bad Things" for me, minus the dark element.
It entertained me, and prompted a few big laughs - the Chinese gangster being my highlight.
Ultimately, this is a money vehicle that has/will give many people a great night, so power to all involved.
