You have to wonder why the filmmakers (Mort Nathan directs) transferred “Van Wilder” across the Atlantic. There are just a lot more rules to moviemaking. The America-born, England-raised actress is a beauty who passes through “Van Wilder” as gracefully as one can be expected to while delivering “swordsman” jokes. I happen to be 57yrs of age, but still young at heart. This is the sort of film that thinks calling a beer a “libation” is a form of wit.Ĭohan may be the movie’s lone success. National Lampoon's Van Wilder in my opinion a very funny movie, however there will be many whom are of my age group (40-60) whom may disagree with me because it is a younger generation that I believe the movie was meant for. Taj goes head to head with his rival (Daniel Percival) and steals his girl (Lauren Cohan).īut the plot (which recalls a less inspired “Old School”) is, of course, merely a forum for an endless parade of puns on the male anatomy, shots of women’s chests and parodies of the oddly prudish elites of the college. Taj predictably enough inspires his household, turning them into the Cock and Bulls fraternity and challenging the snobbish, racist members of Fox and Hounds.
