Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Old School earns its spot. Old School does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Three friends attempt to recapture their glory days by opening up a fraternity near their alma mater. The chemistry Luke Wilson and Will Ferrell bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was released in 2003. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Old School holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Old School. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Luke Wilson sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
