National Lampoon's Van Wilder Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
An unabashedly bad movie full of cliches, claptrap, fairly good rock 'n' roll and stomach-turning gross-out gags.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Execrable.
Denver Rocky Mountain News
Robert Denerstein
An uneven mix of National Lampoon-style high jinks (yes, it feels slightly dated) and Farrelly-brothers touches tossed in for gross measure.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
When it runs out of ways to be funny, Van Wilder resorts to schmaltz.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
This is the sort of low-grade dreck that usually goes straight to video --with a lousy script, inept direction, pathetic acting, poorly dubbed dialogue and murky cinematography, complete with visible boom mikes.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It's a tasteless, tacky movie full of cheap T&A.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Bluto Blutarsky, we miss you.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
This a movie wherein Tara Reid plays the 'smart girl' -- that alone has got to be worth the price of a ticket.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
The grossest, most disgusting humor imaginable.
Boston Globe
Loren King
[Reynold's] boyish, sweet-natured comic appeal makes ''Van Wilder'' better than it has a right to be.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
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.
Variety
Scott Foundas
Strangely likable and only about half as puerile as the average MTV reality series.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
... Tara Reid plays a college journalist, but she looks like the six-time winner of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Pageant, so I don't know what she's doing in here ...
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
It has all the obligatory gross-out jokes you'd expect. But for every stupid gag involving half-naked women or uncontrollable bodily functions, there's a clever, laugh-out-loud line that sneaks up on you.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Unofficially, National Lampoon's Van Wilder is Son of Animal House. Officially, it is twice as bestial but half as funny.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
When it comes to collegiate humor, nobody goes lowbrow like our friends at the Lampoon.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
This movie, a certain scene in particular, brought me uncomfortably close to losing my lunch.
