Nothing Original in this movie
Added 8/20/2009
I loved Van Wilder. It was such a great movie. This DVD was not worth the time. It was the same story line. Nothing original at all, all the jokes and ideas were a carbon copy of the first.

Campy Comedy

this movie is one of those campy comedies, it's not raunchy, but there are some scenes with a little nudity-but it was very enjoyable.

Kal Penn on 'House'...say it ain't so!
Added 10/20/2008
I actually own the first Van Wilder on dvd and it has some laugh out loud moments,this movie,however never produced any laughs. Even the commercials for the movie didn't look that funny...plus it only had Kal Penn and I am not a fan,so I passed.
It showed up on my directv guide and I still found something better to watch (like,Dewey Cox in Walk hard,which is actually funny) but,when I couldn't find anything better to watch I gave this a try and I wish I didn't. It's one of those movies where you think to yourself...It's going to get better,while you are watching people leaving the theater,but you stay,thinking its going to get better,hoping its going to get better but this movie never does.
Boring and Bland and it makes you want to root against "Kumar" every chance you get. You will learn to hate Kal Penn if you force yourself to watch this garbage. Kal Penn Actually had a hand in producing this. He should be slapping himself.
I really can't stand Kal Penn. I used to watch the Television series 'House' but when I noticed that Penn was on the show,there was no way I would ever watch it again. Is House jumping the shark?

Van Wilder- The Rise of Taj
If you watched to first Van Wilder then you know that Taj was Van Wilder's assistant. Van was one of the coolest people on campus and taught Taj everything he knew. This time Taj tackles his own journey in the United Kingdom. Upon arriving in the United Kingdom he looks to join one of the most prestigious fraternity. He is told that there was a "typographical error" and is told to go to The Barn. The Barn is where all the rejects are. Taj sees potential in these freaks and wants to makes something out of them. He tells them that they can even win the Hastings Cup if they try hard enough. The Hastings Cup is a challenge for all fraternities on campus to compete in. It is a series of academic, athletic, and recreational challenges. Taj and the barn make their own fraternity and join in the games.
The first Van Wilder was much better. Taj was just too uninteresting to make an entire movie about. I'm not saying that this movie doesn't have its funny parts, but for the most part it's just an average movie.
The actors in the movie don't really do a good job of making themselves interesting. The movie itself really lacks any emotion to it. In the original Van Wilder there was a deep moral behind the story. This movie is just an average comedy not worth watch again.
You get music videos, gag reels, deleted scenes, and making of stuff that is all fairly interesting to watch. It's not enough to save this movie from being completely average though. If you really want to check out this movie, I would suggest renting it.
