Dreadfully Boring
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
View MoreIt's no Ryan Reynolds of course, but it's just a teen fun movie. People are reviewing this like it's supposed to be something other than that. I didn't laugh out loud, but for me watching a comedy isn't always about rolling in the floor laughing. It's just feel good.
View MoreThis highly redundant sequel involves Taj stuck in that tired old plot where he has to lead some misfits into victory against a superteam of unbeatable snobs. Meanwhile he also falls in love with our main villain's girlfriend. Gee, I wonder how all this will end. Kal Penn tries his best and comes of as pretty sympathetic, but these lines he gets are just, ugh. How many double entendres can you cram into an hour and a half? The first time it's pretty funny, the thirtieth time not so much. The writing just consists of working in the word "hard" with every opportunity that comes along. The most amusing scene comes somewhere in the middle, and that's just because it's ripped of from the first one. Are there really any redeeming qualities to this movie? Well, I'll give it a go. The lead snob lays it on really thick, which makes it somewhat enjoyable when he gets his comeuppance. That's pretty much why I kept watching, to see what would happen to him. Also, Holly Davidson is pretty hot. That's pretty much it. It's not enough to hold together a movie, sadly.
View MoreAnd it was only 3 squid me ol' muckers Pretty bad flick on all counts, Kal Penn holds it together as best the man can, he forges out a couple of funnies but the supporting cast who try hard must have been kinda cheap to hire...the dude with the Big Wang doesn't make much sense, the Irish guy does look a lot like his older bro from titanic, I wouldn't put the nerd in a starburst advert but I thought the English tart had balls spouting such filth...what would her mother say? Kind of looks like they made it in a couple of weeks so I appreciate the effort and I think it was worth 97 minutes of my life on planet earth...I didn't watch the extra features I'm sorry to say and I was kinda bummed the way the every 'hastings' scene had the cheapest possible activity, sword fight, paintball, dog show, bus ride, drinking competition....yet there was no stunts and only 4 breasts involved plus Taj's golf cart was super slow..........hey ho!On the plus side they don't need Van or even Taj to bust out a whole host of Van Wilder Chronicles. Funny and cheap that why national lampoons are a rock and i predict will survive the credit crunch.
View MoreI love Kal Penn especially if he does comedy. This Lampoons isn't as funny as the first Van Wilder but it is a good movie. I like the Van Wilder movies because they have the humor of American Pie without being too gross. Kal Penn is probably one of the most underrated Indian/Hindu actors currently. He is totally a funny guy but can also do drama roles as well like The Namesake. I love the English Bull dog with the enormous balls. There is some cute girls in this as well. The story line of this one is entertaining. I hate the Fox & Hounds Guy who plays Mr. Big Shot. Very predictable plot. I like that this movie has a nice ending. Taj's parent's are hilarious. I love the mother, she's too funny. This film is not a rip roaring comedy or the greatest film ever but it's good for entertainment and worth a watch if you like Kal Penn. Also, if you like this movie Harold and Kumar is even better. I can't wait till the new one comes out!
