| Modamag.comBrian OrndorfAn invigorating reminder that comedies can just be comedies and still attain excellence. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA dismally unfunny, crass and rambling farce that flunks out on every conceivable level. |
| Baltimore SunJay BoyarThe whole plot is a shambles. And yet none of this matters much when you're laughing as hard as this film makes you laugh. |
| The Film YapNick RogersA movie that might make your face hurt with laughter and has its heart in a high-enough place while its mind is in the gutter. |
| Journal News (Westchester, NY)Marshall FineYou won't be proud of yourself for giggling at this stuff -- but you won't be able to help it, either. |

| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionMelinda EnnisAlthough a graduate of the Animal House school of tasteless, sophomoric humor, Old School gets docked many points due to its sloppy script and lame direction. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Flawed, cliché, contrived, and poorly developed... |
| Movie MomNell MinowYes, it is morally bankrupt and completely politically incorrect. But what can I say, I laughed. |
| Film ThreatKevin CarrWill Ferrell is a fearless comedian, and he commits completely to his insanity in the film, and that makes it work. |
