October 6, 2009Having never seen a single National Lampoon movie, I was entertained and laughed a lot...the premise of the movie was unbelievable and kinda sad, but it worked in a weird way. Of course the ending would TOTALLY not happen on anyone's campus, but hence the power of hollywood.

When it runs out of ways to be funny, Van Wilder resorts to schmaltz. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Smug and dumb as they come, it's a series of eruptive gross-out sketches tenuously linked by a romance plot. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Laughter for me was such a physical impossibility during National Lampoon's Van Wilder that had I not been pledged to sit through the film, I would have lifted myself up by my bootstraps and fled. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The movie ends with outtakes in which most of the characters forget their lines and just utter 'uhhh,' which is better than most of the writing in the movie. full review
