Watch National Lampoon's Van Wilder

Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) makes his career-defining appearance in this raucous college life extravaganza. Van is a popular and near-superhuman figure at his university. This is due to his ability to throw the most epic parties, and matriculate as a procrastinating, philandering, seven-year celebrity on campus. Most fellow students believe he is only a pong-playing party machine. Inside, Van Wilder is aware of his own need for more. Along with most of the Twenty-First Century's most iconic frat moments, Van helps to guide fellow college buds to a life of fun, and absolutely unintended moments of...shudder, responsibility.

A hard-hitting and strikingly beautiful journalist (Tara Reid) becomes interested in Van Wilder's world of parties and influence. She gives him much more than a pretty face to become aware of. As Van Wilder discovers himself, he enhances his circle of friends and provides off-color hilarity that will last for generations. Van also helps to launch the career of certain other National Lampoon characters like the loveable franchise favorites, Harold, Kumar and Taj.
