The TVI Take

Todd Phillips's 2003 Will Ferrell / Vince Vaughn / Luke Wilson vehicle whose central conceit, adult men starting a fraternity to recapture their twenties, is the cover for sustained inquiry into early-marriage disappointment. Frank the Tank's 'we're going streaking' sequence is the film's structural argument compressed into one moment: that adult dignity is sometimes the wrong currency to spend.
