August 27, 2010fb733768972Wow! This movie is so bad, that if I had the chance to I would go back and wish I had never even seen it at all. Van Wilder 2, not having seen the first, is a complete disgrace, with absolutely no heart or any actual comedy to laugh at!

September 20, 2007The question comes to mind: How do you make a Van Wilder movie without Van Wilder? The answer, after watching the end result, is you don't.

April 23, 2007It was an okay attempt on Kal Penn's part to do a comedy and make it shine on his own. SEE IT AS A "FREEBIE" OR ON T.V.

March 28, 2010Could never ever top Van Wilder 1, but was better than I thought it would be. Kal Penn proved he could hold a movie by himself. You can't top Ryan Reynolds though, sorry. Was some dirty, English fun.

Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety Van Wilder. Full Review

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Taj plays like a very bad combination of Revenge of the Nerds and Harry Potter. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Britain and India face off in National Lampoon's Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, a strained attempt to transplant the American campus comedy to more uptight shores. Full Review

Jason Anderson, Globe and Mail
Van Wilder 2's sense of numbing familiarity is not enhanced by director Mort Nathan's apparent unfamiliarity with the entire filmmaking process. Full Review

Dude, where are my laughs?

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
It's hard to fathom why this didn't go straight to video, or maybe even YouTube. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Crikey, it's enough to give even stupid comedy a bad name. Full Review

Dennis Harvey, Variety
The four-years-in-the-making, badly recycled (not to mention awful) sequel might stain the honor of the Lampoon label if it hadn't already produced several even worse films. Full Review
