synopsis
A trio of twenty something buddies tries to recapture the outrageous, irrepressible fun of their college years by starting their own off-campus frat house. Mitch, Frank and Beanie have all reached a crossroads in their lives. They can choose to be responsible adults, with wives, families and steady jobs--or they can postpone adulthood in favor of the reckless abandon of frat house living with all the fun and none of the education. No contest.

Back in February, this thirtysomething Animal House did better at the box office than it really deserved. The comic idea was far superior to its execution. Still, Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson and especially Will Ferrell do wonders with their underwritten roles as former college buds -- two now married -- who use a rental house near campus to revert to their frat-boy days, including brewskis, topless wrestling contests and streaking (another indecent-exposure op for Ferrell -- what's with this…
