Wilson, Ferrell and Vaughn do a fine job of being Wilson, Ferrell and Vaughn, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's ludicrous of course, but it works as an assembly of quite funny scenes delivered by a cast who look like they are having fun. Likeable lowbrow shenanigans.

From the moment that Luke Wilson got into the cab at the beginning of this movie I don't believe I ever stopped laughing. Oscar worthy performance by Elisha Cuthbert. The trio of Wilson, Ferrell and Vaughn work magic in this movie. One of my favorites of all time. Oh and Vaughn coaching soccer during the credits is great too. So many fun scenes.

Yup, it may be an imitation of "Animal House", but it's still awesome. One of the very few times I could stomach prolonged periods of exposure to Will Farrell.

The essential "Frat Pack" Film. This is the one that really got the ball rolling for popular comedy films of the 21st century. It's laugh out loud funny, and is filled with memorable scenes, quotes, and hilarious performances by the group of guys that are making the biggest comedy films today. Awesome!

Just an unfunny movie. I laughed at Frank the Tank jogging naked and asking for KFC, but that was about it. When you've seen Will Ferrell naked/in underwear jumping around and acting retarded in one movie, you've seen them all. I honestly don't respect the opinions of anyone who seriously loved this movie - it's the antithesis of a good movie; cliches, formulas, the same generic cast of every unfunny comedy of the last 5 years.

The plot is a good metaphor for the type of people the movie probably attracts. Actually, it's easy to forget what the plot is while you're just watching the actors be silly. Good for a cheap laugh though.

Decent enough comedy that's real highlight is Vince Vaughn as the terribly charming but incredibly bitter husband. His dead pan delivery is superb and he truly makes the film far more enjoyable. Will Farrell is good as well but honestly Luke Wilson isn't all that impressive, although that certainly comes from his character who is undoubtedly normal in comparison to his humourous companions.

Funny and sort of original. Unfortunately it suffered from one of those movies that comes out and a bunch of people say it's the funniest movie they've ever seen until they see the blockbuster comedy of the next year (see: Napoleon Dynamite, Borat, The Hangover). I like it more now since the hype machine has worn off but I still don't think it's anything brilliant besides a few key moments.

Saw this about 10 years ago and didn't like it. Rewatched recently due to it's now solid reputation in case I misunderstood it, however I thought it was worse the second time around. A consistently unfunny comedy, where the character and story arcs are frequently incoherent or unsatisfying and left me frequently asking 'what was the point in that?'. Piven and Ferrell do their best in difficult circumstances, but this is a complete 'swing and a miss' for me.

Call me a party-pooper, but it felt more enraging than funny watching Frank throw away his wife to live like a just-hit-puberty frat boy and Beanie pretty much do the same in spirit. Thank God for more level-headed Mitch (see his rant to Beanie), though in the end he isn't quite enough to make the movie's portrayal of stupidity (which does bring some decent laughs) anything more than a distasteful celebration of it. The third act with the misfits vs. uptight dean plot is slightly redeeming.

I'm always amazed at how high the re-watchability factor of this movie is. It also has quite a lot of people in it who went on to do bigger things. It has effected pop culture in so many ways, "you're my boy blue", "once it touches your lips it's so good!", "earmuffs" and so on.

Although I don't really dig on the celebration of chauvinistic fraternities as idyllic escapes for neutered middle-aged men, this is pretty funny stuff. The tight pacing, effective balance of slapstick and character-based humor, and winning performances from Vaughn and Ferrell make this a standout in the raunchy humor genre.
