You'll never think of bulldogs, pastries, protein shakes or tutors in the same way again...National Lampoon's Van Wilder stars Ryan Reynolds as a 7th year student who has no plans to graduate. Life is good for Van; he's got a coed in every closet and a party to go to every night. His slick reputation even catches the eye of sexy Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid), and on campus reporter determined to expose the naked truth behind his wild exterior. When Gwen enters his life and his father stops paying his tuition, could Van's days as the king of Coolidge College be over? Find out for yourself in this outrageous laughfest that you've sure to go "nuts" over!
"...sheer likability and very impressive gag-to-giggle ratio..." John Patterson, LA Weekly
"...very funny collegiate gross-out comedy goes a long way toward restoring the luster of the National Lampoon film franchise..." Steve Simels, TV Guide
Editor's Note
Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) is a college stud who is in no rush to finish his coursework and graduate. In fact, after six years of partying his way through Coolidge College, his parents have decided to stop paying his tuition, but Van Wilder isn't worried--he just needs to find a way to pay it himself and keep the fun coming. His fundraising ideas include a topless tutorial service and other raunchy schemes, which only help add to Van's "Big Man on Campus" status.A romance develops between Van and Gwen (Tara Reid), who is writing an investigative piece on Van for the school newspaper. Through his exploits, Van eventually begins to turn over a new leaf, and finally grow up. But not before there are plenty of opportunities for the kind of gross-out humor that teen flicks like THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY and AMERICAN PIE have made so popular in recent years. The main set piece here involves dog semen injected into eclairs. While this is not exactly highbrow fare, teen audiences who are not too squeamish will enjoy this bawdy college romp.

"...Perfectly enjoyable..." 10/01/2002 p.129Reel.com 7 of 10
National Lampoon's Van Wilder is idiotic as they come, but it's also a redemption of sorts for the all-but-extinct magazine. That's because it's the first Lampoon-endorsed comedy in two decades that's actually funny. We're not talking rapier-like-wit funny, but crass, lewd, and crude funny. Screenwriters Brent Goldberg and David Wagner borrow freely from the "jiggler giggler" T&A comedies of the early '80s and the Farrelly brothers' excretion-dispersing farces of the '90s. However, other than a few dramatic lulls in the third act, director Walt Becker keeps the tone raunchy and loony enough to keep the laughs coming...Co-star Kal Penn steals the show as Van's assistant, Taj. - Tor Thorsen
