Hits

• Genuinely funny moments all through the movie though they are sexually oriented and are quite crude. Countless such fun moments. Super fun
• Ryan Reynolds, the dude is perfect for this role with his attitude. Tara Reid is cutesy. Kal Penn as Taj is another genuinely funny guy with his Indian accent and desperation in getting laid. The bonding between Van, Taj and their other buddies is very good. 
• The movie is sort of a precursor to 'Munnabhai MBBS' in the way, the hero is a very popular do-gooder with a chilled out attitude at college. 

VERDICT

Van Wilder really makes you feel happy about life. Full throttled fun that makes you forget your worries

Hits

• Ashton Kutcher is the only reason to even half-sit through the movie. The casual style and his neat looks are always a plus. He elicits the few laughs that the movie throws up. 

Misses

• The jokes are lame. 
• We actually wait for the movie to get over

VERDICT

A lame movie that was supposed to be a comedy. Forget it.
