Reece Pendleton Chicago Reader This is shocking only for its tepidness; except for some raunchy language, it's ready-made for basic cable. Jul 28, 2009 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Penn sports little of the squirrelly charm evidenced by the original Van Wilder star, Ryan Reynolds.

Rosana B Adoro Kal Penn, apesar da grande maioria das vezes, suas comédias serem chatas, pastelão e entediantes, aqui, felizmente, foge um pouco a comédia pastelão cliché, com uma abordagem minimamente diferencial, o que o torna menos entediante e mais gostozinho de assistir, infinitamente superior ao anterior que era totalmente esquecível, levemente menos sexual e mais inclusivo… Abobalhada, com alguns bons momentos divertidos sem vergonha alheia, já vi muito piores… Regular... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Tyler C A brilliant masterpiece of Cinima! I have no idea how this snuck under the envelope at the 2006 Academy Awards! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Jessie R Yuck! This was very disturbing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member It's boring and the comedy is terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member didn't need a sequel especially with no Van Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/21 Full Review Audience Member Dumb not funny movie not like the original.
