Word around the campfire is that Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson start a rival frat and that's the plot to the new Old School.

If that's true, this movie has to be funny automatically.

Old School is my favorite comedy all time, and I'm sure a number of people here know that, but I just hope they don't over do this and make it a really stupid movie.

With that being said, I hear Will Ferrel is gonna be in a couple of other movies this Summer.

It can end up being overdone, hence it can be stupid. I'm not gonna overhype myself about this movie. I am excited, but I don't expect it to be as funny as the first one.

I completely agree. I will go see it in the movies and if it's decent, I will own it on DVD, but that's how I feel about all comedic sequels, for example Austin Powers 2 and 3, American Pie 2, American Wedding, and Meet the Fockers. I saw them all in the theatre, own them all on DVD, and think they all have their funny parts, some of them have a lot of funny scenes, but they were all overdone and/or played too much off the jokes of the original movies. I hope Old School 2 avoids that trap. I prefer the originals of all of the aforementioned series because they were fresh. The jokes were new and the creators didn't know which parts the public would like best. They then built off a lot of the same jokes in different variations in the sequels because they knew we thought the original jokes were funny. Those new jokes are still funny, but just not original.

Yeah man, plus with all those big name actor/comedians coming in (And they ARE big names now) I'm just worried that they might make overdo it with the jokes, (for example, making each thing seem overly childish, pererted, all of that) instead of being smooth with everything, like they did last time.

I actually agree that I thought American Pie was better than the sequal, for the exact reasons M23 stated, but there were still a lot of funny parts. I just hope the writers of Old School 2 are gonna be as creative as they were in the first one. That would be a dream.

Silliness. The first one was great. It depicted high school life pretty well in a comedic fashion.

I felt the second one was weaker for two reasons. One, the whole repeating joke aspect I already went through. Two, in the first one, every character played a role. In the second one, characters like Jessica, Heather, Vicky, and even Nadia were only in it because the producers made every main character sign on for a second movie when they signed for the first. The girls were pretty useless in the second one. I'm not saying it's not a funny movie. I saw it twice in the theatre and plenty of times on DVD, but I definitely liked the first one better.
