About
You’ll likely enjoy Old School if you want raunchy fraternity chaos and a nostalgia-heavy comedy; Not for you if you prefer smarter, more serious humor, or you disliked similar throwback comedies like Road Trip or Step Brothers.
Pros: nonstop big laughs; easygoing frat fun; nostalgic comfort | Cons: inconsistent comedy; raunchy humor; can drag at times
