Throughout cinema, some movies exist to document a crucial, universally quotable line. From “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!” to the more recent “That Hansel’s so hot right now,” many pictures lend themselves to a particular line of script.
Falling in line with this tradition, “Old School” proves Oscar-worthy, offering up its script and sense of humor to socialites and film connoisseurs everywhere.
“You’re my boy, Blue!” may be the line to go down in film history as linking words to cinematic wonder, but this stands unjustified. That line will suffice to let friends know that you’ve seen the movie, but it does not represent the character of the film’s writing.
“Old School” delights in simple phrases; interjecting a detached “I love you, Dad,” in mid-conversation or describing a friend as “successful and disease-free,” one truly celebrates the brilliance of such speech.
Don’t limit these lines; celebrate every word.
“Good talk, I’ll see you out there.”
