Old School Movie Review

Old School may not be a Judd Apatow produced movie, but it certainly is hilarious and one of my favorite movies of all time.  The film stars Will Ferrell, Lucas Wilson, and Vince Vaughn.  Old School Movie PosterThey clock in at the average age of around 35, which is a little bit too old to be joining a fraternity.  Good thing they aren’t joining one, but creating one.  Luke Wilson comes home one night to find his wife cheating on him, hosting an orgy.  This plus a couple other factors influence the men to start a fraternity.  They host house parties, drink until they’re belligerent, and go streaking.  The best part though, is that the grown men have their own pledges.  They mess with the pledges in hilarious ways that I cant even put into words in this blog.  If you are someone in a fraternity, you will especially find this movie hilarious.  Surprisingly you will be able to relate.

Freaks and Geeks Behind the Scenes

Freaks and Geeks was a TV series made by Paul Feig and produced by Judd Apatow.  It aired on NBC from 1999-2000.  Unlike other works that Judd Apatow produced, Freaks and Geeks was a television show as oppose to a movie.  The series actually gained a lot of popularity before it was canceled before its second season.  They simply did not have a good platform to play it on.  The Series started James Franco, Samm Levine, Seth Rogan, Jason Segel, John Francis Daley, and Linda Cardellini.  Freeks and Geeks was one of those comedy series you could watch with the family.

Fans were very upset to find it getting canceled.  It truly was a success and a failure.  Judd claims that he had a crazy idea for a character in season 2 we wish we could’ve seen.  Judd claims the show was ahead of its time.  It should’ve been on HBO, according to Judd.  Here are some behind the scene clips of Freaks and Geeks.

Superbad Best Moments

The video quality may not be the best, but the content is golden.  Judd Apatow’s Superbad hit from 2007 is a classic comedy.  Many movies after it have tried to copy the funny, goofy, absurd style but have failed.  Superbad had the perfect balance of comedy, goofiness, and story scheme.  Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are too funny in this movie.  Enjoy this clip of Judd Apatow’s Superbad best moments.

 

Superbad Movie Review

Judd Apatows, Superbad, released August 17th, 2007, is a movie about 2 best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera).  Equally unpopular, the 2 teens were inseparable in high school, facing the challenge of going to separate colleges.  With only a few weeks left in senior year, they realize they only have a few more weeks to have sex in high school, which to them is a huge deal.  Seth and Evan are so desperate, they fall for almost every single girl in the school.  Their conversation skills with girls are so bad, that sometimes they will give them the time, even if they are not asked.  Awkward.  A third main character in the film, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), also known as “McLovin” for his attempt at making a fake ID with the name McLovin, is so unpopular, that he makes Seth and Evan look cool.  Every weekend the crew hears girls complaining about getting drunk and sleeping with the wrong guy by mistake.  The crews modest ambition is, be that mistake.  They get invited to a party by one of the popular girls, Jules (Emma Stone) who exclaims that the party isn’t BYOB, but BYOAEE (Bring Your Own And Everybody Elses).  This is what sets the crew on the hunt to get alcohol underage.  Bringing alcohol to an underage party will instantly make them cooler.  To make the long story short, the gang has a crazy night filled with mistakes, laughter, bad decisions, and booze.  The hilarious film does a great job as a satire towards the high school days.  Writing this review makes me want to re watch the film, as it would take me back to the high school days were alcohol, girls, and parties are all new.
