Rating: Summary: Groody with the eclairs! gag** Review: This movie was great, and i was laughing most of the time, But let me tell you one thing, it seriously could have done without the Tara Reid. I cant stand her and I think she is vile and too skinny, it would have been better with like an Alyssa Milano, or somebody else. But other than that, Ryan Reynolds is great and halarious! OH and also the little Harmender guy servent...he was funny as all get out! so watch it..its delicous!™
Rating: Summary: More Tara Reid! Review: This movie is one of the funniest teen movies to date. For most guys, just the name "Tara Reid" appearing in a movie ad is enough to get them to the theatre, but once they watch the movie it's great from all aspects. Van Wilder is the idol of the underclassmen (everyone who hasn't been there 7 years) and it really gets funny when the ...Indian student comes into play. It's funny, gross, rude, stupid at times, sexy (Tara Reid again), pointless, and a masterpiece all at the same time. That's pretty much what the moviemakers strive for when making a teen movie because that's what's acceptable to teens and they did a good job this time! If you love teen movies and are in the mood for a new twist, go buy or rent this movie. If you're over 30 or someone who can't take jokes and crude humor, then go rent Jack Frost. It's a good story as well just without the crudeness. ;)
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Review: This movie is great. It will make you laugh a lot.You will love it. The stripper scene at the bar will blow you away.
Rating: Summary: Totally fun college flick! Review: Comedies are my favorite films, and I love this movie, one of the best I've seen in a long time. I've seen several teen-flick comedies, but this one takes the cake, even over "Road Trip" which I thought was a hoot. Perfect timing on all the quips and humor, and this comedy is just plain college fun. Yeah, there's a small message in there about growing up and realizing your potential, but it's woven in pretty well without the sappiness. Small scenes in this movie make me laugh just thinking about them. One of those scenes is when Van is in remorse over his loss of Gwen. A freshman girl walks in asking how he's doing, and he bursts into "I'm all out of love...I'm so lost without you..." and strums a very poor chord on his guitar. It was great and totally unexpected. I love that scene! The writers out did themselves on the script. This is a smart comedy that cleverly weaves the characters and story together. I've seen other comedies that were complete paradies of other movies with no plot but scene after scene of horrible gags and imitations of other movies. Apparently there is a market out there in copy-cat world that is alive and kicking. Since the movie is set in the tradition of National Lampoon, Ryan Reynolds combines some character traits of Chevy Chase, Jim Carrey and Bill Murray to complete his Van Wilder persona, but he still maintains that lovable charm. He is treated as a celebrity in his school, but eveyone loves him because he sincerely cares for them and knows how to have a "pimpin' good time" doing it. This is not a typical "teen underdog becomes popular and gets revenge on his school bullies" story. If you dig deep the real conflict of the story is with Van Wilder himself and his reluctance to graduate and move on into the real world. But that's neither here nor there -- it's more fun to think about him as the Party Liaison or the Raddest ...Dude Alive. Kal Penn holds his own as Van Wilder's assistant Taj. He just adds that much more to the comedy and practically stole the show. Tara Reid porbably did her best role as Gwen in this movie. That's about it. Great movie with lots of laughs. Gotta see it.
Rating: Summary: Van wilder Comic genius Review: All these people saying van wilder is not funny. Clearly they are the type who prefers the intelectual film i.e english patient etc. Stick to them. For someone like me with a terribly base sense of humour(and proud of it by the way ;P ) i found this film utterly hilarious. Sure the story goes a little wavy and maybe we dont get to see all the parties, but if u liked american pie, road trip etc, you will love this. Van Wilder is a 7 yr student at college. The ultimate party man and the guy everyone looks up to/goes to for advice. Finds out he has to start paying for himself to stay in college, so he sets about it with various ingenius schemes, which will all have you laughing your socks off. in between theres a romantic interest in the form of tara feid,who is writing a newspapaer report on van wilder. she also has a [not-so-smart] boyfriend, the rest is self explanatory, boyffriend gets mad at van wilder, tries to sabotage his college life etc etc.hilarious throughtout. If your not a stick in the mud obsessed with storylines, plot and character progression, and just want to sit down and laugh, then this is the film for you!
Rating: Summary: National Lampoon's Van Crapper Review: Van Wilder (an affable Ryan Reynolds) is a seventh-year über-senior who's become all things to all undergrads at Calvin Coolidge College. Unfortunately, mega-moneyed Van Sr. (a dignity-intact Tim Matheson) decides to cut off his son's tuition, feeling the time is way overdue for Van the Man to venture out into the real world. To stay in school, Van becomes a party liaison for eager fraternities willing to pay top dollar to guarantee a good time. Enter Gwen (sparkly-eyed Tara Reid), a determined journalist for the school paper who's been ordered by her editor to dig up the dirt on the legendary Wilder. Incredibly, the weakest part of the film is the earnestly blossoming romance between Wilder and Gwen. What works best are the scatologically inspired gags (a laxative-spiked protein shake) and excessively gross gross-out humor (take a horny dog, a batch of fresh éclairs and... never mind). The film would have been better served playing to its lowbrow strengths throughout, instead of trying to force true love into a movie that isn't likely to become the date flick of choice for discriminating couples.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing even though, it had it's moments.. Review: I thought this movie was just average, not even. It was quite stupid, and I don't know why people are saying, "The best movie I've ever seen!" I thought this movie was horriable. I gave it 1.5 stars, rounding up to 2 stars. This movie was about Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) has been at Coolidge College for 7 years, never passing (or just leaving.) Van Wilder is a "party person" who always has a good time. Geeks and others look up to him, he is a very popular kid for others. He even has own assistant for himself. Van Wilder trys to help everyone though. He's the "nicer popular person." And Van Wilder meets this girl named Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid) who is doing an interview on Van. They fall in love, but their not going out. Van's dad finds out that Van has been in College for 7 years, so Van's Dad isn't paying for Van's college funds. Gwen teaches Van to do something with his life, and not stay in college for as long as he is. I thought this movie was getting way to off topic when Gwen came into this movie. It wasn't focusing on the main idea anymore, it was focusing on their relationship (which they really don't have), instead of him getting money and staying into college, like he really wants to do. Acting wise no one was special, none of the characters were the best, but if I had to pick someone it would be Tara Reid, followed up by Ryan Reynolds. No special apperances were really made except for Chris Owen. Over all I would give this movie 1.5 stars, which rounds up to 2 stars. This movie had some of it's moments, but really it wasn't hilarious. The begining was the best. The first like 20 minutes. Nothing was that great, the plot was stupid, I'd give it 2/5 stars. Acting I'd give 2/5. And extras, and other I'd give 1.5/5 stars. So I gave it 2 stars. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but if you're really bored, and there's nothing else to watch, watch it I guess.
Rating: Summary: Hilarious - The Animal House of a new generation Review: I can't say enough good things about this movie. Sure the acting is a little rough and the story line is awfully trite, but for pure comic enjoyment, you can't go wrong. I bought this movie several months ago and I still watch it very often. There is so much good stuff here that you'll be sure to enjoy it over and over again
Rating: Summary: Shout Out To Van For his take on Air Supply Review: Very entertaining flick which solidified a place in my DVD collection due to the great scene in which a "dulled out" Van whips out his guitar and sings along with Air Supply's "All out of love" (the greatest love song of all time by one of the most underrated bands of the 80's)!... GUILTY PLEASURE Indeed!...
Rating: Summary: Hilarious... Review: This movie is completely funny, and will keep you laughing for ages. I tend to purchase DVD's, watch them once, and put them on the shelf. However, I have already watched this one several times. I usually shy away from comedies (I'm a drama fan), but I'm glad that I watched this one because it is hilarious. Pick up a copy of this DVD and enjoy!
