The Hangover's funny older brother

Last night I watched one of the funniest films we own on DVD.
"OLD SCHOOL" is a 2003 film by comedy auteur TODD PHILLIPS, made three years before "THE HANGOVER."
Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrell star as three men in their 30s who launch a fraternity to maintain ownership of a house on campus.
Jeremy Piven plays the villain of the film -- the college dean constantly scheming to shut down the fraternity.
"Old School" does sound like a reworking of "ANIMAL HOUSE," and there are certain similarities.
The main difference is the comic situations created when you place family men into a partying college environment.
Ferrell is big difference, too. He specializes in a type of stupid/sweet persona -- used to great effect in "Old School."
Like "The Hangover," it will keep you in stitches.
