National Lampoon's Van Wilder (DVD, 2002, Unrated Version)

Ryan Reynolds plays Van Wilder, who has attended Coolidge College for the past 7 years with no real ambitions towards graduating. During that time he has become Coolidge's go-to man for any social need. He meets Gwenn Pearson (Tara Reid), a journalist who is involved with a medical school bound fratboy prick and things get complicated. Van has a golf cart, a personal assistant, and one helluva wardrobe. Watch Reynolds' delivery of his lines, paying special attention to tonality and pauses, as well as eye contact and facial expressions. Get the unrated edition to see bare breastesses. Warning: if you have issues with semen-slurping frat boys or libidinous elderly school administrators then there are a few scenes you may want to skip.

This is a really funny movie! I had not seen the unrated version before, which was a little too graphic at times, but still fun. Plus, who doesn't like Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid?

CRITICAL CONSENSUS




A derivative gross-out comedy that's short on laughs.




SYNOPSIS


Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds, ABC’s “Two Guys and a Girl”) might be starting his seventh year at Coolidge College, but graduation is the furthest thing from his mind. Armed with a personal assistant and a coterie of admirers, Van has reached the status of living legend on campus, throwing bashes that make geeks popular, raise money for charity and generally “inspire the uninspired.” But when Van’s father refuses to pay any more of his son’s tuition bills, Van must turn to party planning for profit in order to continue living in under-graduate bliss, thereby becoming the subject of an exposé by disapproving school journalist Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid, Josie and the Pussycats, American Pie). What begins as a clash of wills, however, soon leads to unexpected romance as Van and Gwen both realize they have a lot to learn from each other. The only problem: Gwen’s self-obsessed, frat house boyfriend, Richard, who’s determined, at any cost, to put a stop to Van’s rule as campus king. In the tradition of Ferris Beuller’s Day Off and Rushmore, Van Wilder: Party Liaison brings us an intrepid, visionary hero with the brains and the bravado to change school as we know it. Outrageous, irreverent and absolutely charming, this winning campus comedy is all about the burden of facing real life…and the freedom that comes from not taking it too seriously. -- © 2002 Artisan Entertainment



MOVIE MISTAKES


Mistake #1
During the scene when Van and his friends are riding in Van's golf cart, just after Van has sex with the secretary, the guy in the back is seen being licked on the face by the bulldog. When the camera cuts to Van he's not being licked. When the camera cuts to Van's assistant he's being licked again. This happens over and over.

Mistake #2
In the last scene, at Van Wilder's party, Gwen is talking to Van Wilder and her bathing suit strap is on her left shoulder. When the shot changes, it has disappeared from her shoulder and is on her back. She wouldn't have moved it as her hands don't move in the scene.

Mistake #3
During the hockey scene between Van and Gwen, the radio on top of the goal changes angles between shots.

Mistake #4
At the beginning of the movie Van tells the viewers that it is the beginning of spring semester at Coolidge College and it is obvious that the college is somewhere up north near Massachusetts because in the scene where Van is giving the basketball team a pep talk one of the players asks Van if he invited the girls from Mount Holyoke (which is in Massachusetts)to their party. Yet throughout the entire movie everyone is dressed in shorts and tank tops like its summertime outside when in reality January up north near Massachusetts is FREEZING...

Mistake #5
In the scene where Van goes to Gwen's house and meets her parents, Richard introduces Van to the doctors in the room. When he introduces Dr. Beaverman, the shot changes and Richard says "OB/GYN" and his mouth doesn't move.

You've got Ryan Reynolds as Van Wilder and Tara Reid as Gwen. Also has other big name stars. This has something for everyone. Very funny.

This is a very funny movie that all young adults can enjoy. All of the funny antics and money making schemes that Van Wilder pulls is funny and somewhat thought provoking. This is definitely a movie that I recommend to add to your collection. At least it's a funny stay at home eat dinner and drink beer movie.

One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Ryan Reynolds steals the show in this great college comedy.

Ryan Reynolds is a great actor and Tara Reid is wow amazing great movie they should have just ended it there because it was the best van wilder movie not much to dislike only that there should have been more special features

Worth the watch, Ryan Renolds did a great job in the movie, if you're into rated R comedies, you'd love this.

A must to complete my National Lampoon's collection. I love comedy of any sort even the silly comedy!

We always see Ryan Renolds as a witty loveable charactor, this movie plays no different. The jokes are dirtier, funnier, and just about the greatest thing you woulld ever see. It introduces so many elements of college and love.

And ask yourself this question; Can you tell what someone is like by the underwear they wear?

Very fast shipping and quality products. I will definitely shop with this seller again, thank you very much

Funny movie about college life. Immature and juvenile but that is what makes it fun. High school and college kids should like it. The actor/actress selection was well done.

This is a classic comedy. A must see and very funny. Be sure to get the unrated version. I saw this when it first came out in 2002 and still remember how good it was 6 years later.

This a very good movie and i was proud to purchase this from this seller very fast shpping and I think that there should be more people like them on ebay

If you are looking for a movie that is just down right crazy, this is the one for you. There is never a dull moment when it comes to this college parody.

This is the best comedy movie ever made. i love this movie so much.......Ryan Reynolds is the Mannnnn..

I had not seen this movie in a long time. So, I was happy to buy it. It was in great shape, there was a fast shipment, and great price. Thanks alot!

This movie is close to Animal house but has a few different ways about it.As all of the National Lampoon's,its very comical.Anyone that loves a good laugh will get one here.
There is nothing to dislike about this movie.It contains,humor,romance,friends,etc.And the laughs keeps on coming.
Van is very unserious about school,but everything takes a major change when he meets the girl of his dreams,but she has a boyfriend that is a real jerk.The pranks pulled in this movie will keep you laughing for days.You want to watch it again and again.
Its trully worth a buy.

This is a great movie. The storyline was awesome, and the comedy was hella funny. gotta watch it. dont just take my word for it.

This is one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen. Ryan Reynolds is hillarious as Van Wilder. Reynolds is a comedic genius at deleviring one-liners. The supporting cast plays off his humor very well.

Van Wilder shows how one person can get the total college experience. Van Wilder could easily graduate but instead decides to stay at college, and be a hero and idol to everyone on the campus. His new assistant Taj is hilarious. A great movies for anyone 17 and older.

Very good movie, perfect condition, i appreicate the quick delivery as well. Thanks for the great buy.
