Daily Probe Movie Review
by Faith McDonald
Old School
Rating: 0 stars (out of 5)
Hey gang ... are you in the mood for 90 minutes of suck? If so, have I got the
flick for you!
Maybe it's me. I'll be the first to admit that my social schedule has been
crummy since taking this job. Monday night, I could have gone to Broker
Night at The Hungry Crocodile, because Monday is the night all the hotties
from TD Price Waterhouse show up for their pub night. Instead, I was seeing
this stupid movie while Wendy was there getting all the hot/rich guys for
herself. She told me afterward that she gave this one guy a handjob in his
car. That could have been me, you know. (Although I'm 80 percent sure I wouldn't
have given him a handjob ... I have more respect for myself than that.
Maybe ... MAYBE ... if he was really cute, or really well off, but that's it.)
So once again, Wendy gets the good guys. Apparently he's taking her out to
Oliver's for dinner next Monday. It could very well have been me sampling
their exclusive selection of pastas and cheeses from Italy, but I'm not a
whore. And I'm not so slutty good-looking. And I have to see another one of
these stupid movies. Oh, and I have self-respect.
So anyway, Old School is about a bunch of jerks who want to score with young
chicks, because attractive 30-something accounting reps are apparently
beneath them. It stars the cute Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn, as well as
Will Ferrell, who isn't much to look at but probably really brings in the
bank. Wilson's whore of a girlfriend is having gang-bangs while he's out of
town, so he moves into a new place near a university so him and his mid-life
crisis buddies can nail skanks like Elisha Cuthbert. What. Ever.
So, when they almost get kicked out, they form a fraternity so they can be
all testosterone-y and stay in the house. Then they do stupid guy things
like fucking girls young enough to be their daughters (if they had kids when
they were teenagers ... like my friend Becky).
Did I tell you that Wendy has a boyfriend? Well, he's not so much a
boyfriend as a guy who nails her a couple of times a week and then takes
her places like the symphony and stuff. It's not like he loves her or
anything. I mean, how could he? I think when he's looking for love, he'll
head in Faith's direction. After all, I have more to offer him than Wendy
does, like a brain and morals. And I've already got my china pattern picked
out so he doesn't have to worry about it. See, I'm not only a better catch
than Miss Blonde-Double-C-Cup, but I plan ahead. Not like
little-miss-sort-of-2-timing-guy-hog.
Oh, so back to the movie. It's stupid. Wilson is a lawyer, and Vaughn is a
millionaire, yet they chase after these cute, perky little Wendy-like whores
instead of grounded, smart women who are closer to their age and can have
intelligent conversations about important things. I swear, it's movies like
this that ruin it for all of us smart girls. Movies like this and bitches
like Wendy.
The only people who will like this movie are women with no self-respect,
young girls with no self-respect, and guys with financial security that
would rather blow a load than come home to a smart, intelligent woman who
goes to Weight Watchers even though she doesn't need to, all to keep herself
trim because she cares about her appearance and didn't win the genetic
metabolism lottery. You can all go to hell. The rest of us will just stay
home and watch Sex and the City on DVD, thank you very much.
