In PCU he's a partying student, but in Old School, he's like Dean Wormer. I thought he totally sold it.<br /><br />You should take a look at PCU (Politically Correct University). It's a particularly good Animal House knock-off. And best of all, it's got cameos by George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic.Matthew Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717658634005798102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443179676076724.post-78583853499271231362009-06-18T17:43:52.784-05:002009-06-18T17:43:52.784-05:00Thanks for the kind words.

It just doesn't have much repeat value for me. It has a few too many jarring moments where a joke is used just for the sake of the joke, even if it clashes with the reality that the film has set up. I agree with the philosophy Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant used when writing the original version of THE OFFICE--if a joke detracts from the story you're trying to tell, throw it out.garvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554635572232453299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8443179676076724.post-29923691253559243582009-06-18T09:17:39.142-05:002009-06-18T09:17:39.142-05:00First, the site looks awesome.

...First, the site looks awesome. Nice work there. <br /><br />Second, this is one of my all-time favorite movies for all-out silliness. So many great scenes.
