Directed by Todd Phillips

Starring David Cross, Billy Bob Thornton, Luis Guzman, Michael Clarke Duncan, Jacinda Barrett, Sarah Silverman, Horatio Sanz, Jon Heder

Old School director Todd Phillips takes the reins for an updated remake of the 1960 comedy, this time starring Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder as Roger, a lovelorn meter reader who enrolls in a confidence-building class in order to win the love of his dream girl, and Billy Bob Thornton as Dr. P, the scheming, egomaniacal teacher who has designs of his own for the attractive young female. The rivalry soon spins out of control, as pranks and insults fly fast and furiously in a battle to determine the ultimate "guy's guy." ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

I only rented this film because it looked like one of those stupid joke movies like "Old School" or "Talledaga Nights" that my husband enjoys ... so I figured I'd be killing two birds with one stone: placating my husband's taste in films and getting in a short nap about midway through the movie. Well, I was pleasantly surprised here. Don't get me wrong, this will n " [More]

"Overall, this movie is at least worthy of a rental or matinee. There are several laugh out loud moments, but the film is fairly predictable and the racial stereotypes were a bit much. Worst of all, not enough David Cross! " [More]
