Van Wilder, The Rise of Taj

Here is a sum up of this movie in 2 words - NOT FUNNY.

This is a terrible sequel to the great original Van Wilder. Without Van, the movie really has not comic leader and Taj just is not that person. He was perfect as one of Van's sidekicks, but as the lead it gets old quickly.
Lots of pretty women in little clothing and English jokes (since the movie is at an English school where Taj is a teaching assistant abroad)

Boring movie. Not sure if I would even recommend renting it.

That's a damn shame, I love the original, it's harmless fun for quiet night but Van made it! It's stupid having a sequel without him!!

Exactly! Without Van it is just not the same movie. And they tried a few silly references back to him, but it just did not work.

Not an overly funny movie, but amusing. I'd probably classify it as one of those movie you watch when there's nothing on TV. It was certainly nothing like the first movie. I did notice that they threw in a lot of tits just to try and win back the audience.

well it is considered a classic college movie because it launched a lot of careers of some regular actors now, including Reynolds, and I loved it.

The original was great. The sequel, BLAH. Awful. Just a movie that shouldn't have been made into a sequel.

Just watched it, it was a bit over the top but funny.

It was funny to see people say Taj’s last name, vary sneaky of director to use it Very Happy
