Three men relive their carefree college years by killing off as many brain cells as possible in this over-the-top
comedy.
Mitch (
Luke Wilson) returns home from a less-than-pleasant business trip one evening to discover his wife,
Heidi (
Juliette Lewis), involved in a
ménage à trois with two blindfolded strangers. Feeling less than welcome at home after this,
Mitch rents a house near the campus of a nearby college; two of
Mitch's old college buddies,
Beanie (
Vince Vaughn) and
Frank (
Will Ferrell), stop by to cheer him up. They soon become regular guests at
Mitch's place, despite the fact that
Frank only recently wed
Marissa (
Perrey Reeves), while
Beanie and his wife,
Lara (
Leah Remini), are busy with two kids.
Beanie decides to throw a housewarming party for
Mitch, and since
Beanie sells audio equipment for a living, he's able to trick out the big bash with a massive PA system and an appearance by
Snoop Dogg.
Mitch soon finds he's the not-entirely-willing proprietor of the school's leading party spot, which raises the ire of
Pritchard (
Jeremy Piven), a dean at the college who was the target of
Mitch,
Frank, and
Beanie's abuse when they were all students.
Pritchard arranges to have
Mitch's neighborhood zoned into a student housing district, but
Beanie and
Frank respond by forming a fraternity and making
Mitch's home their headquarters.
Mitch, however, is not enthusiastic about the idea, especially as he's trying to impress
Nicole (
Ellen Pompeo), a beautiful divorcee who is less than enchanted with
Frank and
Beanie's "party hearty" lifestyle.
Old School director
Todd Phillips knows more than a bit about the seamy side of fraternity life as director of the infamous unreleased
documentary Frat House.
