Cash S National Lampoon's Van Wilder is the first college sex comedy type film I've seen, and while I'm not ready to say they're not my thing, if they're all the same quality as this I might. The best part of this movie, is the whole reason I watched it. Ryan Reynolds. I'm a big Ryan Reynolds fan. He's probably tied with The Rock as my favorite celebrity. It's very interesting to see a young Ryan Reynolds bringing his charm since the beginning. The movie does have quite a few jokes that made me laugh, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with some moments in here. While I did laugh at some jokes, that are also a whole bunch of jokes that didn't land. They have a lot of gross out gags, one in particular with a dog, and while at first I'd chuckle a little, the next second I wouldn't be into it. They have some forced drama and romance that didn't really work. This definitely isn't unwatchable, and some clever jokes along with Ryan Reynolds charisma even make parts of it pretty fun, but it's far from a good movie, and it could've been better.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Qasim R Don't waste your time by watching this. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Jeffrey G Simply awful. Must have been written by a sixth grader. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Marc Z This movie is funny and bawdy and has many of the traits of a National Lampoon's comedy. The problem is that is has not really held up as well of some of the other films in the stable of National Lampoon's films-like Animal House. Ryan Reynolds is funny as the obnoxious, seven (7) year college student that became the basis of several subsequent films. The are many sight gags, which call for immediate gratification. There are a lot of them, and they almost make the basis for the film. There are also many familiar faces from prior films, like Tim Matheson and Paul Gleason. There are also many future stars, like Kai Penn and Simon Helberg. Tara Reid is actually very appealing as the School reporter trying to insulate herself from Wilder's charms while getting a big news story. A fun watch, but not the best. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Red T It was honestly surprisingly ok. The acting was passable despite forgettable characters and a subpar snob villain. The secret is Ryan Reynolds who actually is not bad at all and has a surprising degree of charm and charisma he brings to this and elevates this to passable from bad. The cinematography is ok overall despite some basic camerawork and some memorable party locations its all off set by dumb jokes half the time that are filled with gross out humor and toilet jokes that are way too over the top and dragged out to be funny. Everything else from music, editing and pacing is just ok. There are a couple moments that Ryan Reynolds got a slight smile out of me because of the charm, its a shame he wasn't given something more clever to work with here. If your a fan of Ryan Reynolds I'd say give this a try. Otherwise skip it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
