Summary: Yes, this movie is stupid ...
Review: ... but those who expect oscar performances from a National Lampoon movie are stupider (if thats a word). This movie is hilarious (although a little gross at times)! This movie has a very important message, simple yet profound, and also highly forgotten ..."Don't take life too seriously or you'll never get out alive"

Summary: Revenge of the Nerds Quality College Humor
Review: This movie was a scream - I loved every minute and laughed out loud more times than I can remember. My only problem is the many "high-school" type scenes that kept nagging at me (locker-rooms? high-school hallways and lockers? etc). A couple other scenes border on some of the most disgusting stuff I have ever seen in a movie, but they were still gut-busting nonetheless. Van Wilder is great comedy for all those who enjoy the value of meaningless slapstick humor - very worthy of National Lampoon's.

Summary: Best teen comedy ever!
Review: At first this movie looked like the same old American Pie theme flick. Although that sure did change in the first 15 minutes, the comedy is so unique with Ryan Reynolds playing the part of Van Wilder so well. There are some gross scenes that will have you crying with laughter...literally. This movie has by far the best revenge ideas ever portrayed in recent films. Hats off to National Lampoon.

Summary: Animal House -- NOT
Review: This film provides a hackneyed plot that I presume is supposed to be a vehicle for some really gnarly gross-out humour (of the Something About Mary variety). While I smiled a bit at a couple of the gags, mostly the movie was really slow and lame. For instance a key scene involves Van Wilder trying to talk a guy out of suicide while not wearing any pants. I mean that's not a joke, it's just stupid. It might be funny if you are drunk enough, but this is about 20 steps below American Pie (think American Pie II) and is not worth the price of a rental, much less purchasing.
Comparing this to the original Animal House is like comparing Mozart to Britney Spears. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: Hysterical
Review: You'll never be able to eat an eclaire or canoli again! Its one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. College humor, but not quite the "Animal House" of this generation. It is worth the money to rent or buy, I recommend this movie. The DVD has some great features... The un-rated vision is the only way to go.

Summary: National Lampoons Has Made Another Comedy Classic
Review: Reminiscent of a Caddy Shack era Chevy Chase, the lead character, Wan Wilder, brings out the hilarity in this moving with a great supporting cast of characters such as sick boy and Taj. I have seen this movie six times now and the hilarity just doesnt diminish. This is a great pick.

Summary: Not For The Squeamish or Prudish !!!
Review: This comedy is disgusting, vile, filthy, and yes, it almost made me lose my breakfast, lunch and dinner ! It involves fun, frolicking, and fluids...no other college campus comedy has made me laugh this hard in years ! Ryan Reynolds' campy and humorous role is dead on hilarious; at times his mannerisms and way of speaking almost cry out Jim Carrey (though he looks nothing like Carrey). That's the beauty of this film...it makes viewers react either with appalling revulsion and disgust or with gutbusting laughter... both in my case ! The plot and premise are short, simple,and superficial (this is not Cannes Film Festival or Academy Awards material by a long shot). It's about a college student who loves the partying and socializing college life who has been living it up for the past 7 years...That is until his pops is tired of footing his educational bill and cuts all funding. Now, he and his campus buddies/associates must figure a way to keep his educational partying lifestyle afloat...Tara Reid's character figures in as a college newspaper journalist who must get the scoop on what it is that makes the enigmatic Van Wilder so popular with the student body but not with a certain anal retentive fraternity and teaching staff ! And, yes , "does boy get girl ?" also comes into play...watch the dvd for the answer! Van Wilder is filled with various college student stereotypes which only adds to the rich humorous mix !...

Summary: Holy ... is this Bad!
Review: Having read reviews ranging from very positive to very negative, I decided to find out for myself. All I can say is "Stay Away!" Tara Reid seemed like a walking corpse through this flick, and the characters were weak, the jokes not funny, and the story non-existant. A poor excuse of an American Pie rip-off. The only bright spot in the film is Ryan Renolds as Van, but even he got tired quickly.

Summary: great movie..but i want to buy his hat..or one like it
Review: This was a great movie...i've seen it six or seven times now. But my real interest is to purchase the VW hat that Van is wearing in the movie. Is there someone who can help me with product information related to this movie?

Summary: Awesome Movie!!!
Review: I agree with everyone up here who said 5 stars! This movie made me laugh from beginning to end. It did almost make me sick once, so don't eat while watching... but even the sick part was sooooo funny! I was rolling on the floor laughing... Its true, if you loved american pie, and road trip... you will love this too. I think those people down there that said 1 or 2 stars, and were disappointed about it not being another animal house, must have actually been in college when animal house came out. So to them, nothing beats it. Yes, I did see animal house, and I loved that one too. So, no matter how old you are, if you enjoy a movie that is hillarious and a little nasty, watch this one, you'll be laughing so hard that you will have tears! Trust me!
