Amazon.co.uk Review

Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) has managed to spend a decade loafing at college by deliberately failing his finals each year. When his dad wakes up and pulls his funding, Van turns to his party-organising skills and big-man-on-campus image to pay his way. Complications arise when an aspiring college-rag journo (Tara Reid--the girlfriend of the wimpy one in American Pie) shows an interest, and Van begins to question his bachelor-boy lifestyle.

Though Van Wilder: Party Liaison contains the occasional clever line ("at least Ms Pacman swallows") and a nice self-referential appearance from Tim Matheson--the original college lothario from the archetypal (and still the best) frat-kids movie, Animal House--it's still fundamentally flawed. It's difficult, for one thing, to believe in the appalling central character's great popularity with his peers--the Fonze he ain't. It's also evident that Reynolds has watched one too many Jim Carrey performances, while Reid's role reduces her to being little more than insubstantial eye-candy. The film's makers have been so anxious to get in all the required references (pot-smoking, bodily functions and nudity) that they've forgotten to make it any good. Worse, along the way it takes cheap gratuitous pot shots at the disabled, the ugly, the old and the obese.

Though it purports to be a "party-on" parable, then, its predictably corny denouement and the conventional values it ultimately espouses reek of Republican morality. There are probably worse ways to spend an hour-and-a-half, but it would be hard to call them to mind when watching this execrable, formulaic drivel--do yourself a favour and enjoy American Pie again instead. --Paul Eisinger

5.0 out of 5 stars "If he's here...who's running hell?", 23 Feb 2006
By Sue Lewendon "Film fanatic" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I bought this film for my 16 year old daughter who fell in love with Ryan Reynolds after seeing him in Blade Trinity. (A mighty Phwooooar could also be heard from me!) I have got to say that this film hasn't left the dvd player since it arrived home!

I am slightly offended by another reviewers comments that parents will all find this film too immature. Not all us mums and dads are old farts! I have watched this over and over again, and have even sneaked it out of my daughters dvd player late at night and watched it downstairs on my own, all the while smothering my face with a cushion to muffle my laughter!

The whole film screams of pure comedy genius. Everything about it is just hilarious, including 'that' cake scene! The one liners are heard daily in my house and now also at my daughter's school.

If you enjoyed the American Pies, Road Trip and Say It Isn't So, multiply your enjoyment by about 100% and that's roughly the amount you'll get out of this!

Write That Down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous Movie!!!, 26 Oct 2004
By A Customer
Van Wilder is one of the funniest teen movies out there, a total must see for lovers of Road Trip, and all the American Pie's. If you liked them, you'll love this, it's so funny!!!!!
Amazing one-liners give the most amusing quotes! The dog is amazing, as is Taj, one of the funniest guys ever! I cannot emphasise how funny this movie is, you just have to watch it! Parental units are very unlikely to find this funny by the way, they think it's immature, so keep it for us teenagers!!! ENJOY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Van Wilder: Party Liason. A simple must (write that down), 16 Dec 2003
By A Customer
From the moment I started watching this film I was in stitches and didn't stop until way after it was finished. For sheer entertainment and one liners this has to be the best teenage comedy around. The main characters do the parts justice (Ryan Reynolds is hilarious and Tara Reid is obviously stunning) but special mention has to be given to Taj who has one of the best speeches I have ever heard in a film. The speech is quality and had me going for ages. But that is just one of the many ridiculously funny moments in the film which are too many to list. Anyone who likes college comedy this film is most certainly for you. This film really is quality.
