Trivia:
Director Todd Philips thought of this movie as a comedy version of Fight Club (1999), and as such there are several references to Fight Club in the movie. References include (but aren't limited to) the basement wrestling match, the photocopying of club propaganda at work, the men appearing worn at work, the restaurant scene, the behavior of the men during the initiation phase and Vince Vaughn's outfit during the initiation scene is to mimic Tyler Durden.

Goofs:
Factual errors: In the scene where the gymnastics are taking place, when Vince Vaughn is doing the rings, you can see in the background it says "Harrison University - STATE CHAMPS". Because this is a college university, state champions would not be a possible achievement.

A rarity these days: a comedy with a decent number of laughs.
Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn are thirty-something guys with ordinary lives who decide to start their own fraternity so they can re-experience their college days. Of course, all they really want is a good time; although some of their group are genuine students, some have obviously been out of school for a LONG time!
Good and raunchy without being overtly outrageous, this comedy actually made me laugh. It really, really did. Although reminiscent of "National Lampoon's Animal House" to a degree, it doesn't feel like a ripoff but a pleasant homage. High marks for the amiable comic cast, especially the always funny Will Ferrell.
A good sophomore effort for Todd Phillips, whose first fiction film was "Road Trip." One of the stars of that film, Seann William "Stifler" Scott, has a cameo here. And late night talk show host Craig Kilborn is very appropriately cast as a smug, smarmy womanizer.
Better than other comedies I've seen lately. I gave it seven out of ten.
