1stly this entire film is based on a total misconception. British Universities have NO fraternity system what so ever. So the need for interhouse cups & challenges doesn't actually exist. Take 1 character from the original Van Wilder and move him to England. Then put him amongst as many British stereotypes as possible. The British University system actually allows people from all over the country to attend Universities so all accents and classes are represented.
The only actors most Brits are going to know are Taj's parents, One from Eastenders and one from The Kumars and Goodness Gracious Me. This is a very poor representation of Britain and the British University system which is nothing like this. Fencing? A rarely played sport. Most Black Tie University Balls are conducted at the end of a term too. As for the very racist notion that the Upper class don't welcome Asians to our country is total rubbish. Many areas of Britian have huge Asian Communities.
This is a bad film with no basis in reality and very poor stereotypes, few of which actually exist in modern Britain. Oh, and doesn't EVERYONE know Earl of Grey is joke about Earl Grey, the type of Tea?
