Terribly Tasteless but Hilariously Funny
Dec 05, 2005
dingo865 - imdb.com
This movie is exactly what you expect from the genre: mindless fluff with adolescent jokes, nudity, and lots of gross-out stuff. It is, however, unapologetic about it, and invests a lot to carry things to the extreme, which is what... Full review

I am not a fan of gross out humor, but there was something about this movie that cracked me up. I absolutely LOVE Ryan Reynolds. I think he is a gifted comedian, and this was a great forum for him... Full review

Now that I am into my thirties I find most movies cliché and uninteresting, especially the action genre, SWAT, Face Off, Swordfish, XXX, Shaft, do I need to continue. Yet people for some reason actually pay money to see these... Full review

This was one heck of an hilarious movie. I can watch it over and over. Reynolds did a spectacular job in the movie, but I must say that without the character Taj the movie wouldn't have been as funny.This is... Full review
Don't believe the critics (this is a great movie)

Matt Sontum - imdb.com
This is a great movie, don't believe the critics on this one. If you get this on DVD you can safely fast-forward through the two over-the-top gross out scenes that virtually assured this movie would get terrible reviews. The rest... Full review
What this movie has and other movies lack are characters you admire and care about. The movie never succumbs to sentimentality, thankfully, and it keeps a high level of cheerfulness and humor through the entire running time. This is a... Full review

All in all, the film is pretty hilarious, but the Special Features disc is highly impressive. From Comedy Central, "Reel Comedy" is a silly 20/20-style spoof that believes Van Wilder is a real guy. The plot is terribly thin. ... Full Review

Funnier than the entire film is when someone makes mention of Tara Reid's....he says dirty things with a foreign accent, Curtis "Booger" Armstrong in a meaningless role, and Erik Estrada for no good reason.....Picture quality is fine;....and all of those jokes sprang from the glibly amusing lead performance by Ryan Reynolds.....Write That Down offers a bunch of "highlights" from the screenplay..... ...

The movie is sick, revolting, and boring; its yet another example of a film that tries to win scares with kinetic editing and cutting edge visual effects. NATIONAL LAMPOONS VAN WILDER National Lampoon attempts a comeback with this reprehensible comedy, filled with the typical gross-out gags and ethnic stereotypes. ... Full Review
