Rating: Summary: Greatest movie of our generation. Review: All right, maybe not, but a top-notch movie nonetheless. I watch this movie with my fraternity brothers on a daily basis. Any male between the ages of 16 and 24 must own this movie.The interview with Taj is the funniest scene in any movie in decades. Write that down.
Rating: Summary: One Van Wilder Isn't Enough'Write That Down' Review: At first sight I thought this was just another one'maybe it is'like American Pie, Slackers, Road Trip ect... I loved Van Wilder. It's defiantly different and unique. Ryan Reynolds is simply amazing. I don't think I've seen any other of his movies, except for the small part in Dick. Without Kal Penn, as Taj, Van Wilder would've been nothing. Foreign exchange students always make all the difference. Daniel Cosgrove as Richard, who also plays Bill on Guiding Light impressed me by being in this movie, with this amazing cast. I don't usually like Tara Reid, this time she was worth watching. She was the only 'regular-normal' person of them all. Mind you, it's just in acting, and only in Van Wilder. I watched Van Wilder 3 times, one after the other. I just couldn't get enough. So the bonuses came in handy. There was a whole other DVD full of additional stuff, deleted scenes, interviews, and all kinds of VW specials. The menu it's self was defiantly different. As my brother said, 'Once you see the VW menu you, you know the movie is good.' And another bonus, the soundtrack rocks, get it.
Rating: Summary: It's very average.... Review: At one time National Lampoon's movies were hysterical, now they have funny moments and this is one of those movies. Van has been attending the same college for the past 7 years. Initially it seems that he is doing it just to piss off his father but there could be more to it than that. When his father visits he finds Van throwing the biggest party of the year and that his fellow students look upon Van with awe. Dad puts a stop to all that by refusing to pay Van's way any longer. The rest of the movie deals with Wilder finding ways to stay in school, falling in love, and realizing there is more to himself than he initially thought. This is of course a formula movie. Unfortunately it isn't exactly a successful one. The story is relatively weak, the humor falls flat on it's face often, the acting is average (Ryan Reynolds character of Van seems very similar to his Berg of Two Guys and a Girl fame) and you really don't care about the characters that much. The movie wasn't bad; it just wasn't all that good. There were some funny moments but they were few and far between. For a good movie everyone should skip this and go to Van's father's (Tim Matheson) early work and see National Lampoon's Animal House. That was great! This was just average.

Rating: Summary: Van Wilder....unrated and underrated Review: I found out about this movie from a friend, i never saw previews or anything for it, im glad i did find out from a friend though because this is a great hillarious movie. This movie compares to thoughs such as the american pies and roadtrip yet had new material and it's own originality to keep it fun and hillarious. You defintely will not be dissapointed. I reccomend it to all.
Rating: Summary: Tres Bien Review: I found this a super funny laid-back comedy. the film makers didnt try much to make this a super-duper out of this world movie, but it turned out very kool, indeed. i think its a great light comedy which i can watch whenever, with my friends or by myself :)
Rating: Summary: Hillarious Review: I know you have heard about the dog scene, and probably will see the movie or avoid it because of that, but forget about it, that was one scene in the movie. The movie in a whole is hillarious and has characters that you either hate or love. This has to be one of the best college movie in years and the best National Lampoons has done in a long time. They created an interesting and very charasmatic character called Van Wilder. A man who has been in college for most of a decade achieving legendary status, but no degree. He handles school like a politician, active in most facets, sports, art, social events, and renowned for his parties. But for some reason is afraid to graduate. His character is what really drived the movie. He is funny without being mean, intruguing without being far fetched, and interesting to watch. The humor is all over the place, puns, word plays, situational, crude, as well as deadpan. But most importantly it creates a character that you not only laugh at and with, but actually care about. I wish he had gone to the colleges I have been to. so as stated before, forget about the dog scene, and just watch the movie, you won't regret it.

Rating: Summary: Funny movie-except Tara Reid Review: I really enjoyed this movie-thought it was funny, entertaining, etc. The cast was talented with exception to Tara Reid. I know a lot of people think she's hot and all-but her acting sucks. She was supposed to play a smart, journalism major in the film, but she can't help but come across as a dumb blonde like she does in all her films. The film would have been stronger-and would have earned a n extra point from me if they cast someone else for the role. I think the director probably thought the script was strong enough, and because the movie is supposed to be silly that it wouldn't matter who played Gwen (Reid's role). However, putting my hatred for her aside, I do recommend this film for a good laugh.
Rating: Summary: Perfect College Movie of All Time!!!!!!! Review: I saw this movie, "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" the Spring semester of my Senior year in college. I can't think of a more perfect, funny movie to celebrate my graduation with. The movie was absolutely hilarious, it had original jokes, great talent and beautiful women (I LOVE YOU TARA REID!!) The guy who played Van, Ryan Reynolds, has great comic timing and was extremely funny playing the lead role. I also thought his assistant Taj, stole the show on numerous occasions. My favorite scene is the one where Taj interviews for the job as Van's assistant. The supporting cast in this movie was genious also (the principal from breakfast club, the guy who played Booger on Revenge of the Nerds, the guy who played the Sherminator in the American Pie movies). There was many original jokes in the movie also (ie. Van throws a party in the Hillel :-) The unrated edition should be absolutely nuts and this is the number one DVD i want to own. Any fan of comedy and/or college comedies in particular should buy this DVD as soon as it comes out. You won't be sorry.
