[.ca] National Lampoon's Van Wilder (Widescreen/Full Screen) ...

Van Dumber:
Let's put it this way: it takes a lot more than farting strippers and a dog with giant testicles to make me laugh. Should we have to watch another wannabe actor try to distinguish himself by doing what looks like a bad Jim Carey impression throughout the movie? What do you call toilet humor without the humor? Will Tara Reid ever act, or will she be stuck in an eye-candy phone booth forever? Is sex talk supposed to be funny just because it's coming out of the mouth of an ethnic guy with an accent? When a movie has nothing else going for it, is throwing in a pair of naked boobs really going to make much difference? These are but some of the questions "Van Wilder" poses. Here's a tip for the guys over at National Lampoon: Animal House = a funny movie about idiots Vacation = a very funny movie about an idiot Van Wilder = an unfunny movie starring, and made by, idiots Moral: Comedies are supposed to be funny.

They sure crammed a lot of bad movie into this one.:
Lack of funny does not mean funny, and this movie is a perfect example. It's called a comedy, but there aren't any jokes. I know that they tried to write jokes, but if they don't make people laugh, they aren't jokes. Here's the plot: the guy from Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place, better known for his performance in Two Guys and a Girl, becomes a party planner to pay for college. Not Tupper Ware parties or Amway Meetings, but crazy wild college parties. And by "crazy wild" I mean not at all funny. (...) In between the sex jokes and the other sex jokes, there's a love story. A love story that I don't care about and neither should you. This movie was terrible and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. I remember when National Lampoon's before a movie was a good thing, not any more.

Hillarious:
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.

Best...Movie...Ever!!!:
Van Wilder is the type of movie that you either love or hate...and I think if you are a teenager or in your young 20's, you will absolutely love this movie. I bought it when it was first released on DVD and didn't watch it until about 2 months after owning it, but when I finally got around to watching it I realized taht I made a huge mistake waiting as long as I did, as this was truly a great movie. The emotion is very apparent as I felt like I got to know the characters and it led me to follow Ryan Reynold's career by buying "The In-Laws" when that came out on DVD as well. I also became an avid "Two Guys and A Girl" watcher after catching him on it, as he is a great actor for these kind of roles. Pretty much everyone I've watched this movie with has gone into the movie thinking "this can't be as good as he's making it out to be" and then after the movie is over, they go out and buy the dvd themselves, so do yourselves a favor and buy this one as well...

A very well-scripted comedy masterpiece...:
This was avery funny movie that I enjoyed thoroughly from start to finish.Some of my favorite moments in this film included the eclair-stuffing scene involving the dog and the Phi Delta Kappa Fraternity,the hockey showdown,and when Gwen mixed up the "bloating formula".
