		Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) is a rich kid working on his 7th year at college.
		Either the filmmakers behind "Van Wilder" appear to think this type of material is hilarious enough to carry a feature, or Walt Becker was too afraid to try anything new with his second directing gig, and just went with safe gag-reflex jokes to appease the mallrats.

		That's because Van has been getting Wilder and Wilder every year for the past seven, fully immersing himself in the college experience doing everything possible except for meeting his course requirements for graduation.
		Bereft of funds, Van falls back on his God-given talent to raise fast cash and hires himself out to the dorkiest, nerdiest, geekiest frats on campus, and engineers their sponsorships of the coolest parties that Coolidge has ever seen.

		Reynolds stars as Van Wilder, a seventh-year college undergraduate who's coasted through his years at school, just getting good enough grades and putting together enough great parties to get by.

	Gamerz-Edge National Lampoon's: Van Wilder Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In fact, just thinking about substituting another actor in place of his role as Van Wilder is making me cringe because to be honest, I’m fairly certain that this role was written specifically with him in mind.
		Unfortunately for Van, he has been there for the better part of a Decade, and his Father is growing so tired of him wasting his time that he monetarily cuts him off.
		Throughout the movie, Van finally realizes that he needs to graduate and move on with his life, and eventually convinces Reid to fall in love with him.

		Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds), a student shuffling through his seventh year in college, learns that his father won't pay for another semester.
		The Lampooners use the same formula with ''Van Wilder,'' casting the likable Ryan Reynolds, who resembles Chase in looks and comic style, as an irascible character who'd be insufferable if he weren't played by such a charming actor.
		Reynolds is the best thing about ''Van Wilder.'' As a good-natured college slacker who champions underdogs, from nerdy virgins to dumb jocks, he brings the underachiever's sweetness of John Cusack in ''Say Anything'' to the expected toilet humor and frat-house hijinks.

		I thought Van Wilder was going to be similar - and it was, until the lunacy of the plot became too much for me. Already, Van Wilder has a strike against it because the actors are really awful.

	SPLICEDwire \| "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" review (2002) Walt Becker, Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid
		I ask only because "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" has such hilariously droll dialogue and such a witty, charismatic lead in Ryan Reynolds (of TV's "Two Guys and a Girl") that it's just bursting with untapped crafty comic energy that has been redirected toward the lowest of the lowbrow.
		Reynolds emits an aura of smarmy charm in the title role of consummate collegiate slacker Van Wilder who, after seven years as Big Man On Campus and $40,000 in tuition, has been cut off by his fed-up father (played by Tim Matheson in one of the flick's many nods to "Animal House").
		Van recruits a desperate virgin Indian exchange student (Kal Penn) as a personal assistant, and every time he's on screen, sitar music plays on the soundtrack.

	Van Wilder
		In an attempt to cash in on their own previous successes (while silently sweeping their megabombs under the rug), National Lampoon has released another fecally-charged film, which is to be filed under "embarassments" as soon as the DVD receipts start to taper off.
		Van Wilder's best friends are a dope-smoking negro and a dot-head named "Taj Mahal." The dot-head, an up-and-coming "funny foreign type" now being pushed heavily in the genre, seems to be the last brand of non-White the Jews are allowing as an object of ridicule.
		In one scene, Van Wilder and his pals manually masturbate their dog, and use its semen to fill pastries, which are then delivered to the evil White frat-boys.

	National Lampoon's Van Wilder DVD Screener
		Ryan Reynolds is Van Wilder, a seven-year undergraduate who has perfected the art of being a student to a science.
		However when compared to most campus comedies that have followed, “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” is vastly superior mostly because of the charismatic performance Ryan Reynolds brings to his portrayal of the signature character.
		Wilder never uses his popularity to hurt other people and in fact I’d say he does a heck of a good job at elevating their self-esteem.

	TheMovieBoy Review: National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)
		"National Lampoon's Van Wilder," a bid for the title of the next "Animal House" of the new millennium, is certainly not one of the worst entries in the ongoing saga of lewd comedies, but it also lacks the originality and amount of laughs required to distinguish itself from the lot.
		Perhaps one of the biggest pitfalls of "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" is that it is coming out only two weeks after the very similar, much funnier "Sorority Boys," which it sorely pales next to.
		While Van Wilder makes for a likable enough lead character, and is played with mucho charisma by Ryan Reynolds (1999's "Dick"), the story he is stuck in remains unfocused and pedestrian.

	A Fistful of Reviews - Van Wilder (2002)
		You see, the film is about a young man named Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) who has been in college for seven years and has not yet graduated.
		The jokes in "Van Wilder" are pretty lame and, sometimes, downright disgusting.
		The new millenium gets "Van Wilder", in which the bad guys are still impotent and too smart, a professor still goes red in the face and yells the good guy's name in a deragatory fashion, but the keggers are carded at the door and the good guy raises money for charity.

	Movie Habit: Review of National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002), **
		When she confronts him, Van must face the fact that the reason he hasn’t graduated isn’t because he’s had so much fun in college, but because he’s scared to grow up.
		Reynolds’ talent and charisma shine in the role, and whether Van Wilder is a success or not, one can only hope that his performance will open up as many doors for him in Hollywood as were opened for less talented Freddie Prinze, Jr.-type stars.
		Van Wilder shows a glimpse of originality and heart in the midst of the numerous predictable and tiresome jokes it delivers.

		Life could not be better for the trio, that is until Van is cut off by his father who refuses to pay for his education as seven years of college has yet to result in a degree.
		The budding friendship draws Van the wrath of Gwen's uptight, conservative, and shallow boyfriend Richard (Daniel Cosgrove), as he wants Van to disappear as fast as he entered the picture.
		Sure it is very predictable as we have seen this all before, the girl with the loser boyfriend, the oversexed best friend, the stoner, the clueless faculty, and an abundance of gross jokes many of which involve bodily functions and fluids.
