Old School (2003 Dave’s Pick)

The eleventh episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 2003 features our producer David Rosen’s personal pick, Todd Phillips’ Old School. Directed and co-written by Todd Phillips and starring Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, Jeremy Piven and Ellen Pompeo, Old School was a box-office hit and a defining movie for the “Frat Pack” comedy style.

The contemporary reviews quoted in this episode come from Roger Ebert (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/old-school-2003), Manohla Dargis in the Los Angeles Times (https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-feb-21-et-dargis21-story.html), and Mick LaSalle in the San Francisco Chronicle (https://www.sfgate.com/movies/article/A-full-coarse-load-Old-School-built-on-a-few-2633278.php).
