Van Wilder: Freshman Year (2009)

A great time pass movie. Guaranteed laugh and fun. A must watch movie. I had watched this movie at least 3-4 times all 3 parts are must watch. i am from India so needs to download and watch. i will even.pay a lot for. watching the censored. version of the movie. a movie for youth and teenage. the dogs balls are awesome show again. The new actor they got to play van doesn't do the role justice, the story was boring and lame with only one or two good laughs and the acting was just lame. This was just a way to use the Van Wilder name to make a ton of money off the DVD because it would do terrible with another name. The original was great and trying to bank of a success is just stupid when it comes to this series. Its not the worst sequel i have ever seen or the worst "teen" movie but its up with the worst. It would have been a lot better it was another spin off and not a prequel. The prequel method of movies is one of the worst a series can suffer from. My final thoughts are if your a fan of the original just leave this on the shelfs and don't worry about seeing it, it will be on TV soon enough anyway.

Freshman Year is the third installment of the very funny and very popular Van Wilder and is directed by Harvey Glazer. It is the prequel to the original series, Party Liaison, and stars Jonathan Bennet as Wilder, Kurt Fuller as Dean Reardon and Kristin Cavallari as Kaitlin; Wilder's love interest. The movie revolves around Coolidge College campus.Wilder just having graduated from high school follows the family tradition and attends Coolidge. Upon arrival he discovers that his father's fun loving school is not longer what it used to be. The institution has become militarized by Dean Reardon who seems to hate the Wilder's and makes Van a target.Van's attempt to party seems to go wrong as the institute has become chastised and all manner of earthly pleasures are considered a sin. His first attempt leads him to the Daughters in Christs' Kingdom (D.I.C.K) having misguided by the acronyms. However, Van fights back with a 'God works in mysterious ways' prank.Reardon suspects Van of being behind the prank but cannot prove it. As a result he forces Van to join the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) he commands and orders his 'dogs', Lieutenant Dirk Arnold (Steve Talley) and Corporal Benedict (Nic Nac) to crack Van. Van responds with his own brand of outrageously comedic revenge.For those seeking originality, you will be disappointed. This installment follows the first two in quirky detail. The joke and punch lines is basically a carbon copy of its predecessors. And you may also note the use of high tech gadgets that were unavailable in the first installment, notably the iPhone.Overall, this is great movie to hang out with friends and have a laugh.

Like many others who have submitted reviews on this movie, I also must warn potential viewers that it is terrible!I have seen many movies that try to emulate the hilarious sex scenes such as the American Pie series, yet they go way over the top.Van WiLder three does just that. It is filled with dirty sex scenes that are not even funny, most of it is sick and embarrassing to watch. I found myself shifting in my seat at each dirty scene, and I'm not prudish.. The sex scenes in American pie sent me in hysterics !! This movie however is vulgar and awkward.I however must intervene on the attack of the sequels by all reviewers above. Road Trip was a terrible, terrible movie but the second one (Eurotrip) was absolutely hilarious. I laughed so much I had tears in my eyes. I never ever enjoyed "road trip" but Eurotrip is definitely a must-see!!Rise of taj was good but not great, however i'm disappointed at the predictability of the storyline. I could think of 50,000 better concepts of a van wilder sequel .... pity.So watch van wilder 1. If you loved taj, watch the sequel, but don't watch number three or you'll switch it off after half an hour like I did!Btw- it was still impressive to see the new van actor imitate the same mannerisms as Ryan Reynolds.. I give him credit for that

I can't understand why this movie is rated so low. It is quite funny, we didn't stop laughing.Jonathan Bennett does not have the same charisma as Ryan Reynolds, however, he is excellent in this role. Kurt Fuller, Steve Talley and Nic Nac; oh and of course Colossus (The dog).This is the typical teen type movie that Hollywood has been putting out, it is probably closest to American Pie: Beta House, with some of the same actors.The script is well written and quite funny, the acting is fairly good, about as good as you would expect from a movie of this type. It is truly amazing how decent storyline's and decent acting can do to make a very enjoyable movie.Overall worth the watch.8 out of 10
