National Lampoon's Van Wilder - (Unrated Version) Reviews
Disappointing even though, it had it's moments..
I thought this movie was just average, not even. It was quite stupid, and I don't know why people are saying, "The best movie I've ever seen!" I thought this movie was horriable. I gave it 1.5 stars, rounding up to 2 stars.
This movie was about Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) has been at Coolidge College for 7 years, never passing (or just leaving.) Van Wilder is a "party person" who always has a good time. Geeks and others look up to him, he is a very popular kid for others. He even has own assistant for himself. Van Wilder trys to help everyone though. He's the "nicer popular person." And Van Wilder meets this girl named Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid) who is doing an interview on Van. They fall in love, but their not going out. Van's dad finds out that Van has been in College for 7 years, so Van's Dad isn't paying for Van's college funds. Gwen teaches Van to do something with his life, and not stay in college for as long as he is.
I thought this movie was getting way to off topic when Gwen came into this movie. It wasn't focusing on the main idea anymore, it was focusing on their relationship (which they really don't have), instead of him getting money and staying into college, like he really wants to do.
Acting wise no one was special, none of the characters were the best, but if I had to pick someone it would be Tara Reid, followed up by Ryan Reynolds. No special apperances were really made except for Chris Owen.
Over all I would give this movie 1.5 stars, which rounds up to 2 stars. This movie had some of it's moments, but really it wasn't hilarious. The begining was the best. The first like 20 minutes. Nothing was that great, the plot was stupid, I'd give it 2/5 stars. Acting I'd give 2/5. And extras, and other I'd give 1.5/5 stars. So I gave it 2 stars. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but if you're really bored, and there's nothing else to watch, watch it I guess.
It's very average....
At one time National Lampoon's movies were hysterical, now they have funny moments and this is one of those movies. Van has been attending the same college for the past 7 years. Initially it seems that he is doing it just to piss off his father but there could be more to it than that. When his father visits he finds Van throwing the biggest party of the year and that his fellow students look upon Van with awe. Dad puts a stop to all that by refusing to pay Van's way any longer. The rest of the movie deals with Wilder finding ways to stay in school, falling in love, and realizing there is more to himself than he initially thought.
This is of course a formula movie. Unfortunately it isn't exactly a successful one. The story is relatively weak, the humor falls flat on it's face often, the acting is average (Ryan Reynolds character of Van seems very similar to his Berg of Two Guys and a Girl fame) and you really don't care about the characters that much. The movie wasn't bad; it just wasn't all that good. There were some funny moments but they were few and far between. For a good movie everyone should skip this and go to Van's father's (Tim Matheson) early work and see National Lampoon's Animal House. That was great! This was just average.
