I cant say enough great things about Van Wilder. The movie is
hysterical, and most people didn't even hear about it when it
was in the theaters. I recall seeing one newspaper ad, and shrugging
it off since I wasn't a fan of "Two Guys and a Girl",
and Tara Reid is not my favorite actress. But hands-down, Van
Wilder made me laugh harder than any other last year. Definitely
loads of "bathroom humor," some of the funniest lines
ever, and great characters!
What I am wondering, is when some of the cast members are going
to do something else exciting. The best performance in my opinion
is by Kal
Penn (far right), who plays Taj Mahal Badalandabad, Van's
assistant. If this guy doesn't leave you in stitches, you need
to get your pulse checked! Kal is also from Montclair, New Jersey,
which is the last place I would have guessed!
Ryan
Reynolds also shines in the starring role. I can't picture
anyone else bringing such life to this character, and I'm anxious
to see him in another film. Tara Reid, much like her character
in the American Pie series, looks good, but that's about it. Her
acting is so bad it's almost painful. Thankfully there's enough
laughs here to make it not matter.
