Prepare yourself for utter hilarity with two great comedies on a single DVD! This double feature includes the soon-to-be comedy classics National Lampoon's Van Wilder, starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid, and Made, starring Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn!National Lampoon's Van Wilder: 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 co-ed in every closet and a party to go to every night. His slick reputation even catches the eye of sexy Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid), an on-campus reporter determined to expose the naked truth behind his wild exterior. When Gwen enters his life and his father stops paying for his tuition, could Van's days as the king of Coolidge College be over? Find out for yourself in this outrageous laugh-fest that you're sure to go "nuts" over! Made: Swingers co-stars Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team up with rap superstar Sean Combs and the legendary Peter Falk (Columbo) in this wickedly hilarious tale of two hapless guys trying their best to go bad...with criminally comic results. Bobby (Favreau) is a would-be boxer who just wants to settle down with his stripper girlfriend (Famke Janssen). Hi lifelong pal Ricky (Vaughn) is a smalltime hustler who dreams of being a mafia hotshot. So when mob box Max (Peter Falk) offers the two buddies temporary work as out-of-town "muscle," the two friends head for New York - where Ricky's delusions of gangster grandeur plunge them both into the Big Apple's seductive underworld of stretch limos, fast women and pricey nightclubs. But when Ricky's bumbling attempts to look like a "made" man ignite a dangerous confrontation with a rival gang lord, it becomes apparent that for these two not-so-goodfellas, crime definitely doesn't pay...and it could end up costing them big time!
"[Made] Tremendously funny dialogue and a killer comic rapport between the two stars." Andrew Johnson, US Weekly
"[Van] ...sheer likability and very impressive gag-to-giggle ratio..." John Patterson, LA Weekly
"[Made] ...[Favreau and Vaughn] play off each other so well that they recall fond memories of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau." Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
"[Van] ...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: 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. MADE: Following their success five years before with SWINGERS, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team up again in MADE, a comedy about two very different down-on-their-luck L.A. friends who get caught up in a dangerous deal in New York City. Favreau stars as Bobby, a hardworking, very serious construction worker who dreams of becoming a boxer and settling down with his stripper girlfriend (Famke Janssen) and her young daughter. Vaughn plays Ricky, an obnoxious ne'er-do-well who thinks that pulling off a big job for boss Max (Peter Falk) will be their ticket to the big time. The duo is sent off to New York to take part in a deal they know nothing about; while Bobby waits calmly for them to be discreetly contacted, Ricky never shuts his mouth, barking orders at random people, flashing his green and his wry smile all over town, annoying the heck out of everyone he meets, especially Ruiz (Sean "P-Diddy" Combs), who is their connection. The film is beautifully shot by master cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who also filmed Wong Kar-Wai's stunning IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE.
