Old School

In the quiet stretch of a college‑town suburb, Mitch Martin returns to a life that feels suddenly out of sync. A sharp‑witted attorney who has just untangled himself from a chaotic relationship with Heidi, he is hunting a fresh start that promises the stability his career demands. Yet the very house he hopes to call his sanctuary sits on the brink of becoming something far less conventional, perched between respectable neighborhoods and the fever‑ish pulse of the nearby university.

Just as he begins to imagine a calm routine, the door swings open for two longtime companions. Frank, a charismatic former frat star whose reputation for reckless fun still precedes him, slides into the picture with his trademark bravado. Alongside him, Beanie arrives – the tech‑savvy, fast‑talking friend whose ideas often spiral into grand, if misguided, schemes. Their presence quickly turns Mitch’s modest home into an unofficial haven for spontaneous gatherings, a place where laughter roars louder than the late‑night lectures echoing from campus.

The atmosphere crackles with a blend of irreverent humor and underlying tension, as the trio’s carefree antics begin to clash with the university’s strict codes and the watchful eye of the campus’s most formidable administrator, Dean Pritchard. The dean’s rigid adherence to order provides a perfect foil for the friends’ increasingly unrestrained lifestyle, setting the stage for a comedic tug‑of‑war that threatens to upend Mitch’s attempt at normalcy.

Against this backdrop of late‑night music, impromptu speeches, and the ever‑present hum of youthful ambition, the film balances the allure of reckless freedom with the pull of responsibility. Mitch finds himself navigating a world where professional decorum and the lure of unbridled fun collide, promising a series of hilarious misadventures that test the limits of friendship, ambition, and the very notion of “starting over.”
