I was invited to a pre-screening of 'Old School'...so here is my short review.

The beginning of the film is well done. It is funny, well paced and Vaughn, Wilson and Ferrell are excellent. Half way through I was very impressed and I was starting to think that this was going to be as successful as Road Trip (a film I did enjoy).

The last half of the film is very disappointing. It appears that the film blew its load during the first half and has nothing left. I think I found one part of the last half funny. Too much time is spent trying to salvage a mediocre story rather than keeping the comic pacing it had going in the first half.

Final Grade: B -
