The "National Lampoon" franchise is resurrected for another politically incorrect collegiate romp with this R-rated gross-out
sex comedy.
National Lampoon's Van Wilder revolves around the exploits of its title character (
Ryan Reynolds), a seventh-year senior who's made it his goal in life to help each and every Coolidge College undergrad succeed in life -- or at least in bed.
Van's charmed life seems to have an expiration date, however; his father (
Tim Matheson) has cut off his presumably vast allowance. Financial insecurity doesn't phase the big man on campus, and he soon starts up a lucrative cottage industry as a planner of high-priced campus blowouts. When an enterprising reporter from the college paper gets wind of
Van's liberal interpretation of the school's code of conduct, it seems his gig is up -- unless, of course, he can charm the hard-edged
Gwen (
Tara Reid) into accepting his uniquely skewed world view. In addition to
Matheson,
Van Wilder features cameos from a number of '80s
teen movie stalwarts, including
Edie McClurg,
Paul Gleason, and
Erik Estrada.
