Don’t you ever wish you could go back to college? Todd Phillips’ Old School allows Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson to do just that. When the friends decide to open a fraternity at Wilson’s character’s house, the Dean of the college, played by Jeremy Piven, becomes determined to shut them down. We can only hope for a chance to see “Frank the Tank” in action again.
