Editorial Review:
In a futile but ambitiously decadent attempt to revive the loony legacy of National Lampoon comedies, Van Wilder will make you laugh out loud, or vomit, or both. It's that kind of movie, in which the title character (played by sitcom survivor Ryan Reynolds) is the resident slacker of Coolidge College for seven years and running. Enjoying his party-animal supremacy and reluctant to fulfill his potential, he's got an idolizing assistant from India (Kal Penn, the movie's ethnic stereotype, desperate virgin, and comedic highlight), and a journalism major (Tara Reid) assigned to uncover the secret of Van's controlled anarchy. Unfortunately, the movie's more Down to You than Animal House, opting for familiar teen romance over campus shenanigans, despite an abundance of flatulence, diarrhea, sicko sex jokes, gratuitous nudity, and one gag (involving a bulldog) that's disgusting by any standard. Keg-fueled frat-rats will surely elevate Van Wilder to semiclassic status; all others are urged to proceed with caution. --Jeff Shannon

I recieved this product in excellent condition, and well within the alloted time frame. Thank you for your great job.
Rating:  - What Ferris Bueller would have been like in college
Van Wilder is a movie about everything people love about college, the reasons most reminisced. It's about debauchery, alcohol, parties, and sex-crazed young adults. Tailored to a younger male audience, it's full of gross-out humor, genetalia jokes, and crude putdowns.
Ryan Reynolds must have been jumping up and down for this role. It is unequivocally made for his nonchalant, cool-guy comedic delivery.

Rating:  - It has it's moments...
Of which I FF to. But as a movie? The show doesn't hold much interest. A movie like "Asian and Indian guy goes to White Castle" (I don't recall their names but if you've seen it you'll know) gives you a cohesive journey to enjoy. Van Wilder tries to update "Animal House" but fails by putting too much upon one character to hold it up.
Rating: - High bitrate AVC encode ---> Marginal picture quality
First of all, I loved the movie. The audio is spectacular, the video marginal. They used an AVC encode that is always over 30Mbps which should yield a top-tier image. Unfortunately the result is less than spectacular.
Buy it if you like the movie. Skip it if you already have the DVD.
Rating: - Hilarious
A must see. Anyone who's seen Animal House will see the similarity this movie's lead has to "Otter." In fact, Tim Matheson plays a mellowed "Otter" of sorts. It's great for the adult fan of comedies who isn't offended by four-letter words.
