More on Old School 2
Filed under: Comedy, RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Remakes and Sequels
Perhaps I'm very much in the minority here, but I wasn't crazy about Old School. Apart from a few scenes, the film just didn't do it for me. Needless to say, director Todd Phillips feels there's definitely enough funny to warrant a sequel and up until this point, all we knew was that a script was being written.
However, according to Skewed and Reviewed, they recently sat down with Phillips and managed to grab a little more info on the upcoming sequel. Apparently, the title will be Old School Dos and, while Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn are currently not signed on to reprise their roles, the script will focus more on Ferrell's "Frank the Tank" character and, especially, why his wife is so concerned with her husband's alter ego. Though all three actors are due for a significant pay raise, I can't imagine they will pass up the chance to return for another go-round. Should the film actually happen, this will mark Phillips' first attempt to create a sequel from the assortment of iffy comedies he's given us over the past six years.

Miss the appeal of Old School. It seemed like a watered down movie that didn't go anywhere. Sort of a wannabe 80s R-rated comedy without the wit.

Old School was an ok movie but it just isnt the kind of film that would be made into a sequel. It wasnt met well by critics and they didnt really leave it open at the end of the first as to say there is an oppurtunity for a second. It counfuses me but if handled well could be a decent comedy.

Not everyone gets every comedy. Take Freddy Got Fingered for instance. It was pure comedic genius, but many people hated it because they have higher sensibilities. And I, for one, didn't even smile during Date Movie, but a lot of people loved it.
Comedies are extremely subjective. But you can rest assured that Old School is a classic that will live with the likes of Ghostbusters and Animal House. Just wait 20 years and see what movies are playing on Thanksgiving day.
