DVD National Lampoon's Van Wilder (Unrated Version)
In a futile but ambitiously decadent attempt to revive the loony legacy of National Lampoon comedies, Van Wilder will make you laugh out loud, or vomit, or both. It's that kind of movie, in which the title character (played by sitcom survivor Ryan Reynolds) is the resident slacker of Coolidge College for seven years and running. Enjoying his party-animal supremacy and reluctant to fulfill his potential, he's got an idolizing assistant from India (Kal Penn, the movie's ethnic stereotype, desperate virgin, and comedic highlight), and a journalism major (Tara Reid) assigned to uncover the secret of Van's controlled anarchy. Unfortunately, the movie's more Down to You than Animal House, opting for familiar teen romance over campus shenanigans, despite an abundance of flatulence, diarrhea, sicko sex jokes, gratuitous nudity, and one gag (involving a bulldog) that's disgusting by any standard. Keg-fueled frat-rats will surely elevate Van Wilder to semiclassic status; all others are urged to proceed with caution. --Jeff Shannon
Review(s): DVD National Lampoon's Van Wilder (Unrated Version)
Funny movie, in Nat'l Lampoon's top five
With "Animal House" being the frat movie by which all others are compared, I think they did a good job on this one. I think Ryan Reynolds has a likeable quality that comes out in every character he plays. He's a master of line delivery in the tradition of Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. I laughed through the whole thing.
a classic
This movie is a classic. Although some parts were pretty dry, others definitly made up for it. This movie is priceless, and a definate most have for your movie collection.

This was one of the WORST movies I have ever seen -- and I LOVE college movies! The acting was horrible and the plot was dumb and simply a rip-off of other movies. It simply wasn't funny, and the gross-out jokes really pushed the limit -- anybody's limit! The lead actor does a HORRIBLE impression of Chevy Chase during the whole movie -- go rent Fletch if you want to watch a quality movie with that type of character. And, most laughably of all, one of the main characters is Teck, from the Real World on MTV! He's not an actor, he's just a reality tv nobody, so what the heck is he doing in this movie? This movie went straight to video for a reason, so avoid it at all costs!

When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly to save Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claim for academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return to the reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilson along with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of all ages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hanging on a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and just enough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-system ending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and...

Eurotrip views the Old World as a goofy parade of soccer hooligans, horny camera saleswomen, and pawing lechers reeking of cologne. After being dumped by his girlfriend, Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) discovers that the German e-mail correspondent he thought was a guy is actually a hot girl--so naturally he jets off to Europe to find her, joined by his friends Cooper (Jacob Pitts), Jamie (Travis Wester), and Jenny (Michelle Trachtenburg, trying to leap into sexier roles after her adolescent characters in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harriet the Spy). Just as naturally, a cavalcade of national stereotypes, wacky mishaps, and mild homophobia follows, but it's all tossed off with reasonable good cheer (and the fight with the robot mime is pretty funny). Featuring...

Road Trip is a mostly agreeable, by-the-numbers teen flick with a handful of inspired sequences, most of them involving MTV's resident disturbed soul, Tom Green. It concerns a sleepy University of Ithaca student named Josh (Breckin Meyer) who accidentally mails a video of his sexual encounter with an infatuation (Amy Smart) to his longtime girlfriend (Rachel Blanchard), who's seemingly avoiding him while at school in Austin, Texas. Naturally, he recruits some buddies--Seann William Scott as the lech, D.J. Qualls as the hopeless nerd, and Paulo Costanzo as the doper genius--to hit the open highway and intercept the package. Even more naturally, mayhem ensues: A car explodes, a bus is stolen, a nerd is deflowered, French toast is horribly violated, and an elderly man...

Super Troopers (2002), is the rare comedy that has managed to sneak into my burgeoning DVD collection -- I generally prefer drama, action, horror, and sci-fi movies. My initial reason for purchasing this disc was because Brian Cox had a small supporting role, and I'm very pleased with his performance here.
Usually I'd just launch into the plot, but I'd like to introduce you to these funny characters; Farva (Kevin Heffernan), Foster (Paul Soter), Mac (Steve Lemme), Rabbit (Erik Stolhanske), and Ramathorn (Jay Chandrasekhar) are all bumbling Vermont State Troopers at imminent risk of losing their beloved station house to discretionary budget cuts.
Perhaps this group of actors sounds unfamiliar? They're part of the Broken Lizard comedy troupe. They're the same... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Kevin Heffernan DVD Release Date: Released the 06 August 2002 Usually ships in 24 hours

While it suffered a nearly unanimous beating from critics, The Girl Next Door attracted more than a few loyal defenders during its brief box-office lifespan. It pales when compared to its teen-comedy role model (the 1983 classic Risky Business), but you've got to admit that any movie about a teenager whose new next-door neighbor is a 19-year-old former porn star has bona fide cult-movie potential. To its credit, this rather schizoid blend of sleaze and comedy boasts an engaging pair of costars in Emile Hirsch (as the smitten, voyeuristic virgin) and 24's Elisha Cuthbert (as his sexy new house-sitting neighbor). And there are some good laughs in a script that takes unexpected turns when we learn that Cuthbert's character is trying to leave her porn-star past...
