Wasn't actually funny...


Everything about this movie was so flat, the direction, the lighting, the acting, the sound. I don't see how anyone on earth could find this funny. Its basically like watching a few average guys messing around, its hardly the kind of stuff you expect to find in a movie that's supposedly written by professionals.
I mean, I just can't believe how unfunny this movie was. Why on earth does it have a 7??

reply

It has a 7... because most users find it funny... regardless of your precious opinion princess :-)

I totally agree with you...Since this came out people have been telling me how great this movie was and how hilarious it is..Me and my wife watched it this weekend and I was VERY DISAPOINTED...A couple of laughs here and there but overall I would say mediocre at best...4 out of 10

That's actually pronounced analgesic, not anal-gesic. Sir, the pills go in your mouth.

Same experience here. I have never been a Will Ferrell or Vince Vaughn fan, but talking about Ferrell I often here people call this one of his best movies and on boards of his more recent movies they reminisce of Old School. So I watched it and it was just as flat as anything else he does.

Is this movie made for people that yet have to go to college and have seen about 5 comedies in their life?

reply

I don't why people have to attack other people for liking movies just because they don't like that movie. I love this film and I love Ferrel, and Vaughn I think their great and they are. Its okay if you don't like them or get them.

I've never seen this movie and I don't think I'll bother with it judging by the "top 10 comedies" list on this forum, which is full of the crappiest form of hollywood comedy from the last 10 years.

Ya the lighting was effing terrible. Definitely brought it down from an 8 to a 3 for me. And god who was the sound editor? Awful stuff.

I totally agree with you,... was pretty disappointed....
I like movies of all the 3 actors( Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn) but this totally failed to amuse.

You are crazy. This is the funniest movie of all time

Because your a humorless prick who doesnt know great acting, timing, cast chemistry. You probably thought the Iraq invasion was a comedy you blank vague tuba.

What the hell is wrong with people these days? I don't particularly like Will Ferell as I find his humor to be the same in every movie, but if you didn't find this movie hilarious you are just a true mess.

If you didn't laugh during this movie you seriously need to re evaluate life or something, because you probably don't find a whole lot of anything funny.

Take a week off work or get laid or something, honestly.

Well said, couldn't agree more. This movie is a rare gem.
