"It wanders aimlessly from scene to scene. It has no idea where it's going or where it's been."

Blake French
1/4
"Once upon a time, anything associated with the name "National Lampoon" generated as many chuckles as a can of nitrous oxide. Now the effect is more like a laxative."
Kansas City Star

1.5/4
"...I will admit to having chuckled at an Erik Estrada cameo..."

2/4
"
National Lampoon's Van Wilder
may aim to be the next
Animal House
, but it more closely resembles this year's version of
Tomcats
."

2.5/4
"Like
Slackers
,
Super Troopers
and last year's
Wet Hot American Summer
,
Van Wilder
is nostalgic for the gross-out yarns of yesteryear."

"Not exaggerated enough to be a parody of gross-out flicks, college flicks, or even flicks in general. It merely indulges in the worst elements of all of them."

"Even Vegas Vacation was wise enough to distance itself from the humorists responsible for such comedy landmarks as Loaded Weapon 1, Senior Trip and Golf Punks."

"Another week, another gross-out college comedy--ugh."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"While grosser is often better,
Van Wilder
devises some truly nasty images and then wallows in them to ludicrous extremes that drain out all the humor"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
1/10
"While I realize the film isn't aspiring to be anything more than a dumb and/or raucous comedy, there's good/smart dumb and lame/stupid dumb. This effort clearly falls into the latter category."

6/10
"If you're looking for yet another mindless college flick with a number of laughs and a captivating lead, you can certainly do much worse than this movie"
JoBlo's Movie Emporium

0/4
"Full of gross-out humor that is definitely disgusting but not at all that humorous."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
1/4
"This is the kind of movie that Bluto, Otter, and the Delta House boys would have trashed a theater for showing."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1.5/5
"I know it's harder to write good jokes than it is rotten ones, but based on what's displayed here, it doesn't seem like the effort was even made."
