What Ferris Bueller would have been like in college, 2008-05-13
Van Wilder is a movie about everything people love about college, the reasons most reminisced. It's about debauchery, alcohol, parties, and sex-crazed young adults. Tailored to a younger male audience, it's full of gross-out humor, genetalia jokes, and crude putdowns. br / br /Ryan Reynolds must have been jumping up and down for this role. It is unequivocally made for his nonchalant, cool-guy comedic delivery. br / br /Van (Reynolds) has been at Coolidge college for 7 years. He knows everyone. He knows everything. He is basically the most popular kid on the entire campus. Essentially, he's what Ferris Bueller would have been in college - a complete slacker with potential for greatness. br / br /When Van's father finds out he's been paying for Van to go to school for seven years, the tuition payments are cut. When faced with his lack of funding, Van, with the help of his personal assistant Taj (Kal Penn) - an Indian exchange student who desperately wants to have wild college experiences and memories - begin to throw parties in exchange for hard cash. br / br /Meanwhile, Gwen (Tara Reid before she had all that busted plastic surgery and her before her skin began melting) is an aspiring journalist who is assigned a story on Van Wilder. Neither she nor her pre-med boyfriend Richard are happy about it, and despite the fact that she slowly falls for Van, the incumbent is not going to just give in to the guy who has started to pay for tuition by becoming a party planner. br / br /Possibly the grossest and cruel payback scheme in history is devised, Van follows Gwen's lead when it comes to motivation and graduation, Taj gets his experience, and just about everyone - even a well-endowed bulldog - enjoys a happy ending. It's a hilarious movie, and if you can look past the poor attempts at a forced romantic sidebar, then you're sure to enjoy the depravity.

It has it's moments..., 2007-08-28
Of which I FF to. But as a movie? The show doesn't hold much interest. A movie like "Asian and Indian guy goes to White Castle" (I don't recall their names but if you've seen it you'll know) gives you a cohesive journey to enjoy. Van Wilder tries to update "Animal House" but fails by putting too much upon one character to hold it up.

High bitrate AVC encode --- Marginal picture quality, 2007-08-25
First of all, I loved the movie. The audio is spectacular, the video marginal. They used an AVC encode that is always over 30Mbps which should yield a top-tier image. Unfortunately the result is less than spectacular. br / br /Buy it if you like the movie. Skip it if you already have the DVD.

Hilarious, 2007-02-11
A must see. Anyone who's seen Animal House will see the similarity this movie's lead has to "Otter." In fact, Tim Matheson plays a mellowed "Otter" of sorts. It's great for the adult fan of comedies who isn't offended by four-letter words.
