Van Wilder follows the National Lampoon tradition of having a college flick where everybody guzzels beer and has sex. It actually follows Ryan Reynolds as Van Wilder, a "legend" at his college whose father cut him off from getting any money to go to college. It is up to him to have some crazy parties and get some money.
Ryan Reynolds is an entertaining Van Wilder and I thought he was good. Tara Reid is a pretty good Gwen and her character wasn't too bad. The other actors and actresses who play the characters weren't that bad and, actually, there presence were likable.
The only big problem this movie has is it's stupidity. Some of the jokes were just completely not funny and just won't let a laugh break through. The plot isn't that good the way it's brought out. It could be a lot better. The other problem is that it has nothing to do with National Lampoon's. The only "connection" is the guy who played Otter from Animal House plays Van Wilder's father, Vance Wilder. That's not even a connection.
Overall this would've been a good time for Jason Voorhees to kill these horny kids. Rating 5 out of 10.
