Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

During his seventh year at "Coolidge" college, handsome Ryan Reynolds (as Van Wilder) gets his tuition cut off by father Tim Matheson (as Van Wilder Sr.), an embarrassed "Animal House" (1978) alumni. When Mr. Matheson finds his son wearing a women's negligee at an underwear swap party, he fears Reynolds might be gay; obviously, Matheson doesn't catch on very fast anymore. However, Mr. Reynolds is enterprising young man; he uses his supposedly large genitalia to stay in school...Arousing blonde reporter Tara Reid (as Gwen Pearson) does a story on Reynolds. He turns from promiscuous and partying to thinking Ms. Reid might be that "special someone." For some reason, Reid's premature ejaculating boyfriend Daniel Cosgrove (as Richard Bagg) maintains a hold on Reid. For what it's worth, Mr. Cosgrove actually performs his role well. "Van Wilder" delivers lots of fart and balls humor, some beer and breasts, a few gay jokes... all climaxing in a huge dump.** Van Wilder (4/4/02) Walt Becker ~ Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid, Daniel Cosgrove, Tim Matheson

Comedy is not a genre of film that I usually watch so it is very rare for me to find one that is actually memorable, this one however surpassed all of my expectation's. The writing is solid and the movie is not full of corny one liners like a lot of so called comedies what it is full of is situational humor and really memorable characters. Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid have great chemistry and work well together in the film, Kal Pen is also brilliant as the horny yet very intelligent foreign exchange student. In the tradition of American Pie and the other National Lampoon films Van Wilder is the perfect comedy to usher comedy into the new century.

Van Wilder (2002, Dir. Walt Becker) Gwen Pearson (Reid) is a beautiful journalist, who is assigned the job of interviewing the most popular guy on campus, Van Wilder (Reynolds). Van should have graduated long ago, but stays on to create the best time for anyone who requests it. When Gwen finally encounters Van, she makes him realise that he might be afraid to graduate.Amusing comedy film which helped kick-off Reynolds' comedy career. Some jokes do fall flat at times, but there are enough from both Reynolds and a very funny Kal Penn to keep you laughing from start to finish.We are truly up the Ganga river without a bamboo oar. - Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Kal Penn)

Is this the most thought provoking picture? No. Does it burst with wit and philosophical musings? No. Is it awesome for its use of dick jokes and trashy humor? Hellz ya. I love this movie because its always on Comedy Central and it has those two or three moments every time that just make me laugh. Also, this was before the Tara Reid disaster, so she looks decent. The cast isn't exactly top-notch but to be honest, this movie doesn't' need an impressive cast, all it needs is a bunch of people who can make a good fart joke and a dog with prosthetic testicles. The story has obviously been told before but an updated collection of gags and sophomoric humor keep this movie ahead of the pack. Bottom line, if you're just looking to watch a movie with some buddies at 1 am after a hard nights drinking, you can't go wrong with this one. And if you're just looking to find out what Tara Reid looked like before the s*$t hit the fan, this movie is for you.
