Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) is an outgoing, friendly, and extremely popular student who has been at Coolidge College for seven years. For the past six years, he has made no effort to graduate, instead spending his time organizing parties and fundraisers, doing charity work, helping other students, and posing for figure drawing classes. But after seven years, with no return on his investment, Van's father (Tim Matheson) decides it is time to cut his losses and stops paying Van's tuition.

Watching "National Lampoon's Van Wilder," I grew nostalgic for the lost innocence of a movie like "American Pie," in which human semen found itself in a pie. In "NatLampVW," dog semen is baked in a pastry. Is it only a matter of time until the heroes of teenage grossout comedies are injecting turtle semen directly through their stomach walls? "National Lampoon's Van Wilder," a pale shadow of "National Lampoon's Animal House," tells the story of Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds), who has been the Biggest Man on Campus for seven glorious undergraduate years. He doesn't want to graduate, and why should he, since he has clout, fame, babes and the adulation of the entire campus (except, of course, for the professor whose parking space he swipes, and the vile fraternity boy who is his sworn enemy). Van Wilder is essentially a nice guy, which is a big risk for a movie like this to take; he raises funds for the swimming team, tries to restrain suicidal students and throws legendary keg parties.

With the runaway success of Deadpool at the box office, the movieâ??s star and producer Ryan Reynolds has finally peaked - his ribald character might say â??climaxedâ? - as a bankable movie star. The 39-year-old Canadian has been familiar to audiences since starring on the 1998 sitcom, Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place, but his previous attempts at the superhero brass ring failed famously, in part because they lacked any real daring.

To Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds), a college doesn't get you ready for life, it is life. So when his father puts a stop to his cash flow, it looks like the party...

Directed by Walt Becker. With Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid, Tim Matheson, Kal Penn. The most popular kid on campus meets a beautiful journalist who makes him realize that maybe he's afraid to graduate.
