Some of the best one-liners ever

Rating: 9/10 (19 March 2007)

The funny thing about Israeli theaters is that they're quite problematic when it comes to Will Ferrell. Since most of the population here is Jewish, a Christmas fare like Elf skipped our theaters; our men prefer Soccer over Football so Kicking & Screaming went straight to DVD as well, and we don't have colleges (we have universities instead; which we usually attend after serving 3 years in the army) so you imagine where I saw Old School. Thank god we at least have Blockbuster to help us catch up on that ever so delighting Ferrell flare.
Back to topic, this 1970's set film about the intrigue and innuendo set in the chauvinist world of Anchormen is a completer riot every true comedy lover owes himself. I guess I loved it most because it brings up important themes in a humoristic manner, and because it deals with my profession (journalism). But then again, you can't ignore those hilarious one-liners ("I'm Ron Burgundy?"; "I love carpet"), and the mega-celeb fight scene with Tim Robbins, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, Luke Wilson and Judd Apattow.
