The funniest movie of the year may have already been released, and it is only February. Even with all of the publicity that has been around this movie not only delivers, it goes above and beyond with non-stop laughter. Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn play 30-year-old men who refuse to give up on all of the fun they had when they were younger.
When threatened with eviction from their party house, they decide to start their own fraternity so they can stay on campus. Their fraternity isn’t like any other of its kind-they accept anyone who is interested, no matter how old they are.Wilson and Ferrell are both going through marriage problems and Vince Vaughn is married with a kid, but their relationship problems are the least of their worries.
Vince Vaughn’s sarcastic brand of comedy, which is reminiscent of his roles such as in “Swingers” and “Made,” is perfect for his role in this movie. Will Ferrell, also known as “Frank the Tank,” proves he made the right decision when he left Saturday Night Live to pursue his movie career. The lesser-known Luke Wilson plays a more serious role that blends in perfectly with all of the other characters.
Other stars, such as Juliette Lewis, Craig Kilborn, Andy Dick and Snoop Dogg, have smaller roles in the movie.
This movie seems to be geared toward college students, and will go down as one of the funniest college movies made in recent years. Fans of Ferrell and Vaughn will not be disappointed by this movie. If fraternities were as fun as this one, every guy on campus would be begging to join.
