‘Van Wilder’ gets wilder

Van Wilder is your typical college student. He’s spent six years of his time and six year’s worth of his dad’s money on an education that’s yielded no degree and no end in sight.

At the beginning of his seventh year, his father decides it’s time to cut him off.

National Lampoon’s Van Wilder chronicles Van Wilder’s attempt to hang on to his college years at his own expense. He participates in one get-rich-quick scheme after another.

It’s hilarious and off the wall. Any movie with “National Lampoon” in the title has some big shoes to fill, and Van Wilder manages to pull it off.

In the tradition of National Lampoon’s Vacation films, Van Wilder pulls out all the stops in its attempt to get laughs.

There are plenty of gross-out jokes for the 10-year old in everyone.

The most grotesque gag involves pleasuring a bulldog in order to get revenge on members of the Delta Iota Kappa fraternity (D.I.K for short). Bon Apetit.

The movie also has a stable plot line with a blossoming love story.

Tara Reid plays a college newspaper reporter assigned to write multiple profiles on Van Wilder, played by actor Ryan Reynolds.

Thanks to his good deeds and good-natured persona, everyone wants to read more about him.

Against her original intentions, Reid’s character ends up falling in love with the moron.

National Lampoon’s Van Wilder isn’t going to win any Golden Globe Awards, and it really doesn’t matter.

If you’re in the mood to laugh at stupid pranks, potty humor and off-color remarks, see this film.
