Comedies about guys who are approaching their third decade and realize that their best years are behind them, but refuse to accept it, have been made plenty of times. Old School, however, is original in its own way. Original in the form of a group of guys who decided to break free from social stereotypes and live life on their own terms. Director Todd Phillips has a good hand for comedies like this. Road Trip - teenagers, Starsky & Hutch - a gentle parody of the classic series. Audiences shouldn't look for anything in Old School. People should just get on the boat and trust the captain to show him all the places during the journey along the rivers called "Stereotype and Cliché." Don't worry about the story. As the film appears at the beginning, so it ends. It’s funny, dry, silly, awkward, but never boring. There's always something to see. Well, not always because a naked Will Ferrell running down the street is really... Actually, it belongs in the "embarrassing" column. Luke Wilson's acting is about the same as that of his brother Owen (the same faces). Yet the unassuming Vince Vaughn has been in the spotlight for a while now, and I have to admit that while his acting may not be extraordinary, he possesses a cute comedic charm. He has one of the most charismatic voices in Hollywood. Old School will be fun for all those who do not try to find something in it. And if they do, they'll probably be disappointed. (05.02.2005)

Vince Vaughn me hace reír desde el momento en que lo veo por primera vez, su expresión, su figura imponente y su sonrisa picarona lo colocan entre los mejores comediantes. Sin embargo, Mládí v trapu no se encuentra entre sus mejores comedias, como Vybíjená, Nesvatbovi o Rozchod. El argumento me recordó a Bezva vejška, que fue filmada un poco más tarde, así que no se puede hablar de plagio, pero siento que los creadores no lograron exprimir al máximo a pesar de contar con un trío decente de comediantes junto con el villano Piven. Algunos chistes fueron geniales al estilo de Vybíjená, pero otros, desafortunadamente, resultaron embarazosos. Sin embargo, Vince Vaughn no me decepcionó, pero la próxima vez preferiré ver Vybíjená de nuevo. (05.11.2008)

A juvenile comedy where the creators also squeezed in romantic elements, so it was inevitable to hit those worst, time-worn clichés. The humor often bordered on tasteless, leading to some cringeworthy moments. However... Despite all my criticisms, I found myself chuckling quite often, or at least smiling goofily, because it was actually pretty fun. Simple, straightforward, undemanding, predictable fun, and I'd be a hypocrite if I rated it lower than three stars. / Lesson learned: Never, never, never, never, never try for a surprise return home. At least make a call. (09.05.2022)

Nice comedy, surprisingly Vince Vaughn didn't bother me, who I currently can't stand. Will Ferrell is exactly the kind of idiot one wishes for and he's not annoying, which is his problem nowadays. Story-wise, it's not that original, but it's nice that the romance is more of a side plot. It entertains, but "Youth in Revolt" is not a very impressive film for me. (06.05.2014)

I laughed a couple of times and had some decent fun with it, but there were also some rather awkward jokes that I could have done without. And when I add the quite lousy screenplay to that, I can't even give it a rating of weak three stars. (45%) (29.09.2021)
