Wedding Crashers and Old School is our generation's Caddyshack and Animal House

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2005)

I always used to be jealous of my father because he got to see Animal House and Caddyshack in the theater. That was his generation. He loved them. He wouldn't let me watch them. They were inappropriate movies. They swore and sometimes showed naked chicks. He called me Flounder when I screwed up. He would trade weird lines with his golf buddies. I hated it. As I got older and the only movies that were coming out were marginal comedies like Happy Gilmore and Austin Powers, I began to think that the great adult comedies had died thanks to the PG-13 rating.
Then one day a movie called Old School came out and my faith began to return. Here was a movie that was written for me, not for the jack-off 9th grader. It had bad language and boobs. And it was hilarious. Its plot was good enough, but it had three actors that were completely on top of their slack/frat game. And I felt that I was close, extremely close.
I declare that a golden age has returned. The crown jewel of which is the movie "Wedding Crashers." The quotable and entertaining adult comedy has returned and it is stomping out worthless corporate TV show retread movies and CGI garbage in its wake.
Enjoy these times fellow movie watchers. A day like this comes but once a generation.
