A Will Ferrell Comedy Classic Is Rebounding On Streaming

As strange as it may sound, Old School might just be one of the most important studio movies of the 2000s. The irreverent, raucous R-rated romp that finds a jilted attorney inadvertently launching a fraternity with two of his close buddies set the critical, commercial and conceptual template for the rest of the decade’s Hollywood comedy.

Old School earned $87 million at the box office and drew solid-if-unspectacular reviews from critics, but it developed a huge fanbase before enjoying a long second life on home video. To put things into perspective, the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score of 60% is comfortably dwarfed by an 86% audience rating, and that’s with over 250,000 votes being cast.
