I expected to hate this & was surprised to find it was very funny. very well made & some excellent set pieces. The rather disgusting but very funny scene of the rich kids eating the dog cum cakes. the fact that the rich boyfriend could'nt have sex for longer than 10 seconds. the film is generally a large amount of national lampoons animal house and some good character. Van Wilder is excellently played, not too hard & not too far. All the main actors work very hard especially van's 2 room mates who develop very well during the course of the movie. It's nice to see the back story of how Van helps the nerds & the swim team & various other parts of the school.
I didn't really care too much for the girlfriend, and the pledges were very irritating . I've always hated the entire concept of the Greek system in American schooling, it totally stamps on the concept of the underdog and those who dare to be different. Van and his friends and the geeks are the true stars of this film, especially the Asian guy and the black dude.
at the end of the day this is a well made and very funny movie with an interesting message and a good outcome. it may not be totally feel good factor stuff but it's well worth a look if you haven't seen it.
