Synopsis: Mitch, Frank and Beanie are disillusioned with their personal lives begining when Mitch's nymphomanic girlfriend, Heidi, cheats on him, then former party animal Frank gets married, but unwilling to let go of his wild life, and Beanie is a family man seeking to reclaim his wild and crazy youth. Beanie suggests that they form their own fraternity in Mitch's new house on a college campus to re-live their glory days by bringing together a variety of misfit college students, losers, middle-aged and elderly retirees as their new friends and later try to avoid being evicted by the new Dean of Students, Pritchard, whom still holds a personal grudge against all three of them.

for your wedding.

This model?

No, this exact one.

I'm sorry.

I'm embarrassed.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I hope you like it.

I love it.

Thank you.

This place is unbelievable.

- You like it?

- How could you still be depressed?

This is the probably the best thing

that's ever happened to us.

- Us?

- Yeah, us.

Do not get selfish on me here, okay?

Now stay with me.

You put a bar in over there, right?

Couple La-Z-Boys to fill it out, a smarter

couch. You could put a hot tub anywhere.

Max, can you earmuff it for me?

We're gonna get so much ass here,

it's gonna be sick.

I'm talking crazy, boy-band ass.

That sounds like a lot of fun, but

I need a little time to get

my life back together.

We need to throw a big

kick-ass party to start things off.

Absolutely.

Break it in a little, meet the neighbors.

Come on, Mitch.

You know what I'm talking about.

Break it in.

The real estate guy was really

adamant about not having...

I don't think you realize what

a huge opportunity this is for you.

Girls love a guy who's in your

particular situation.

What situation?

Mitch, you're on the rebound.

You're like an injured fawn

nursed back to health,

who's finally gonna be rereleased

into the wilderness.

[glass breaking]

Sorry.

[baby crying]

Please be careful.

- I'm sorry. You okay?

- Don't say sorry to me, say it to the baby.

- You upset him.

- Sorry, baby.

It's okay. It happens.

We should go tropical with this thing.

Like sand from wall to wall. I know a great

sand guy, we'll get it at price.

Sand in here?

Or foam, whatever.

Something in here.

- You understand what I'm talking about?

- Absolutely.

I'm good either way.

Just need to run it by Marissa.

I'm messing with you guys!

It's a joke!

[baby cries]

It's not funny.

And now the baby is upset.

[loud music]

[engine revs]

[music continues]

[shouts:
] Hey!

Hey!

Hey, honey!

I brought you an iced tea!

No, thanks. I got a fresh beer.

Can you turn that off for a second?

[music stops]

[engine sputters]

Wow. That's really loud.

Yeah. Thanks.

I took the restrictor plate off,

give the Red Dragon a little more juice.

But let's keep that on the down low.

She's not exactly street legal.

Hey, Mike!

Right.

- So, what's up?

- Nothing much.

I was hoping we might get to those

thank you notes tomorrow night.

Honey, I got Mitch's thing tomorrow night.

Oh, that's right.

I totally forgot.

But I can skip it.

Oh! No.

Don't be silly.

I mean, I wouldn't want you changing

your whole life just for me.

I'll give Lara a call

and we'll plan a girls' night.

- lt'll be fun.

- Thanks.

You're the best.

Just as long as you promise to take it easy,

you know.

- What do you mean?

- You know exactly what I mean.

You've come a long way since Frank the

Tank, and we don't want him coming back.

Honey, Frank the Tank

is not coming back, okay?

That part of me is over.

It's water under the bridge.

I promise.

[crowd cheering]

Nice, right?

This is incredible.

How did you do this?

With all the people here,

and the speakers.

I thought we were having

a small get-together.

It's one of many

small get-togethers.

That's why you got the house, brother.

You're having fun?

- I'm having a great time.

- Good.

What else have you got planned?

A student band or something?

Yeah, that's it.

I got a student alt rock band

coming on stage next.

I own six Speaker Cities.

I'm worth $3.5 million,

that the government knows about.

I got more electronics up there

than a damn KlSS concert.

You think I'd roll out that kind of red carpet

for a f***in' marching band?

Just make sure you can see the stage.

Excuse me. Pardon me.

I just want to get through this door,

if you don't mind.

Thank you.

This is the guy I was talking about.

This is his house.

- What's up, man?

- No, that's my friend, Mitch.

My friend Mitch, he owns the house.

Anyway, come hit this right here.

You need to hit this.

No, I appreciate it, but I told my wife

I wouldn't drink tonight.

Besides, I've got a big day tomorrow.

But you guys have a great time.

A big day? Doing what?

Well, actually,

pretty nice little Saturday.

We're going to Home Depot.

Buy some wallpaper,

maybe get some flooring.

Stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath

and Beyond, I don't know.

I don't know if we'll have enough time.

You know what? Give me that thing.

I'll do one.

He gonna do one!

He gonna do one!

That's a talented man right there.

- That's what I'm talking about.

- Fill it up again!

God, that's good.

It's so good!

Once it hits your lips,

it's so good.

Thank you very much, guys. This will be

happening at this house all year.

So just get ready,

don't burn yourselves out tonight.

I wanna thank you very much for coming to

the official Mitch Martin Freedom Festival.

For those who don't know

who Mitch Martin is,

he's the very successful,

very disease-free gentleman

standing by the mini-bar.

Now, courtesy of Speaker City,

which is slashing prices on everything

from beepers to DVD players,

give a warm Harrison University

welcome to my pal

and your favorite,

Mister Snoop Dogg.

[crowd cheering]

# Yeah

# You know what

# I'm thinking of a master plan

# Cuz ain't nothing but sweat

Inside my hand

# So I dig into my pockets

All my money is spent

[crowd cheering]

Frank! Frank!

You know it!

# A pen and a paper

A stereo, a tape

[rapping, indistinct]

You're that guy.

What?

Mitch-a-Palooza, from the poster.

Yeah, that's me.

This party is great.

Nice work.

My friends put it on for me.

They're kind of rereleasing me

out into the wild.

What are you talking about?

Nothing. Sorry.

# Got to have some thangs

So what you need is some game

- # Say what

- # To get your paper, man

- # Say what, say what, yeah

- # Oh, baby

- # In a world of paper

- # Check me out, y'all

# Did somebody say make money money

Make money money money

# Make money money

Make money money money

# Say make money money

Make money money money

[crowd repeats]

We're going streaking!

[microphone squeals]

[screams, disgusted groans]

I'm sorry.

We're going streaking through the quad

and into the gymnasium.

Come on, everybody!

Come on, Snoop!

Snoop-a-loop!

Snoop!

No, it's cool. I'm cool.

Bring your green hat. Let's go.

Come on, everybody, we're going!

Here we go!

Man, man.

Man, put the music back on.

Let's get

the party back cracking up in here.

[crowd cheers]

Whoo! Come on!

We're streaking.

Come on!

Come on, every...

We're... come on!

Whoo! Whoo!

We're streaking.

We're streaking!

Whooo!

Come on!

Oh, tell her!

Marissa, I totally forgot.

I know it's a little belated, but we got you

the perfect wedding present!

Come on, you guys, I told you,

you don't have to get me anything.

Our friend Ashley had this guy come over
