    Van Wilder runs 1:45. Plot is developed at the very beginning, once an hour into, and for the last 10 minutes, excluding the very last scene. The rest is filled with 7th-year-senior Van doing good deeds all over, but still being cocky enough for the audience not to accept him as their own self. The plot complication comes when Van's father, a wealthy businessman, decides that 7 years is too long for his son to be in college without graduating. How is Van going to get the 40,000 a year to go to school???
    His assistant, Taj Mahal, the exchange student from Banglapore, India, is a bumbling geek who blossoms into a ladies' man. Van's best friend is the tokin' black guy. Seen in many scenes smoking marijuana with some device or another, he is the static character who helps Van through his time of need. Van's love interest is a reporter for the newspaper. She is used to writing real journalism, but does a piece on Van Wilder for a chance at the cover story. The enemy is the reporter's boyfriend, the evil frat boy. A member of Delta Iota Kappa (spell out the letters), he is selfish and has to do everything with a plan. There are all sorts of villian foils for the other characters.
    All in all, Van Wilder is a good movie. The nudity and sex in it are over the top, but what good high-school/college comedy would be complete with out it?..eh...he he....yeah. Anywho, it is definitely worth a watch if you are at a friends and watching it, or if you can't find anything else to make it a Blockbuster night, but I wouldn't go to the store just to get it. All in all, I give it 2.5 seacows with algal growth on their backs and flippers.
    It is rated R for sex, nudity, bad jokes, dog semen and boomin' grannies.
