A woman who wants to bring a murderer to justice faces more danger than she expected in this independent thriller. Charisma (Danielle Franke) has never been able to come to terms with the disappearance of her sister years ago, who is believed to have fallen victim to a serial killer while camping in the woodlands of Montana. Determined to find some answers, Charisma and her best friend Allison (Kristina Hughes) decide to travel to the place her sister was seen in hopes of uncovering some clues to her whereabouts. But paranoid and panicky Allison isn't much help, and their nerves aren't eased much when they're told about a strange religious cult in the area at a general store and are given a hard time by locals at the town's diner. As Charisma and Allison make their way back to the cabin they're rented, they're followed by Jack (Peter Bruce), who was one of the only people at the restaurant to be helpful to them. Jack seemed to be familiar with the story of the fugitive serial killer, and Charisma thinks he might either be the murderer or know how to find him; should she confront the danger in hopes of learning the killer's identity, or follow Allison's suggestion that the should get out while they still can? ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Three men relive their carefree college years by killing off as many brain cells as possible in this over-the-top comedy. Mitch (Luke Wilson) returns home from a less-than-pleasant business trip one evening to discover his wife, Heidi (Juliette Lewis), involved in a ménage à trois with two blindfolded strangers. Feeling less than welcome at home after this, Mitch rents a house near the campus of a nearby college; two of Mitch's old college buddies, Beanie (Vince Vaughn) and Frank (Will Ferrell), stop by to cheer him up. They soon become regular guests at Mitch's place, despite the fact that Frank only recently wed Marissa (Perrey Reeves), while Beanie and his wife, Lara (Leah Remini), are busy with two kids. Beanie decides to throw a housewarming party for Mitch, and since Beanie sells audio equipment for a living, he's able to trick out the big bash with a massive PA system and an appearance by Snoop Dogg. Mitch soon finds he's the not-entirely-willing proprietor of the school's leading party spot, which raises the ire of Pritchard (Jeremy Piven), a dean at the college who was the target of Mitch, Frank, and Beanie's abuse when they were all students. Pritchard arranges to have Mitch's neighborhood zoned into a student housing district, but Beanie and Frank respond by forming a fraternity and making Mitch's home their headquarters. Mitch, however, is not enthusiastic about the idea, especially as he's trying to impress Nicole (Ellen Pompeo), a beautiful divorcee who is less than enchanted with Frank and Beanie's "party hearty" lifestyle. Old School director Todd Phillips knows more than a bit about the seamy side of fraternity life as director of the infamous unreleased documentary Frat House. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
