It seems a decade cant go by without National Lampoons trotting out another round of college chicanery for us to compare to Animal House.

National Lampoon Van Wilder Torrent Movie About A

This decades entrant is Van Wilder, a movie about a college student who just loves the place so much he doesnt want to leave.

Its a mediocre film when you add up all of its funny and original moments, but the overall charm of Wilder himself--played by Ryan Reynolds (of Two Guys and a Girl fame)--is enough to save it from being just another sloppy teen gross-fest.

Reynolds gives the kind of performance that Chevy Chase delivered in Caddyshack: cool, collected and well-timed.

He seems to be channelling Chase--and Jim Carrey--throughout the film, but not so much that it gets annoying.

Van Wilder is entertaining in the way that Police Academy is, as a sort of snotty distraction from more complicated fare.

Now its arrived on DVD, in a two-disc set from Artisan that is all extraed-up.

Fans of the ever-expanding gross-out genre will find a lot here to please them.

Theres cross-dressing, tons of bodily fluid jokes, cheesy and unnecessary (but oh-so-necessary for the genre) nudity, and lots of sex-related banter.

There are the standard fart jokes, boob jokes, wang jokes, and drug jokes.

There are stereotypes galore: the horny foreign student, the tough, unattainable woman whos put to change Vans ways (Tara Reid), the loyal best friend (Teck Holmes), and the evil frat boy.

Youwillnevergotothisparty.Itdoesntexist.

Of these, the horny foreign student named Taj Mahal Badalandabad, played by Kal Penn, is the most lovable, despite his stereotype.

He approaches the role with such vigor and frankness that you cannot help cheering him on in his carnal exploits.

This guy effectively captures everything that is vile and loathsome about males, and serves as the perfect foil to Van Wilders charms.

The scenes of him attempting to love up Tara Reid are some of the funniest in the film.

Its inevitable from the first moment we see her that Gwen Pearson (Reid), hard-as-nails school newspaper reporter, helps him do that.

Its also inevitable that the frat boy gets whats coming to him, in scene after scene of embarrassing action, and that Taj gets whats coming to him.

Notevenbeergogglesmakesthisright.

Wilder is predicatable and unoriginal, but who cares Watch it for the stunts.

Watch it for everything you watched Animal House, Porkys and Meatballs for.

The Video The cinematography in a movie like Van Wilder is almost always secondary, so we arent treated to much visually.

The film is straightforward and technically sound, but it wont rock your senses.

Still, it gets a decent transfer, so youll be able to see dog testes and vomit as clear as they were presented in the theatre.
