National Lampoon's Van Wilder (1 Viewer)

[David Illingworth II]

No, I haven't seen the movie, but it can be pretty disappointing to watch a frat boy comedy and not have any nudity in it. Some movies deliver the goods (Not Another Teen Movie), some don't (Tomcats). Others only give you a little bit (Sorority Boys), whereas some will have a really great scene (American Pies, Road Trip: Unrated).
I think if you're going to make a movie like this, and you skimp on the T&A, then you're not delivering one of the things most of the audience is expecting.
Surely you can let me know how the movie delivers on this without spoiling anything.
And I still say Sorority Boys was funny. C'mon, you didn't like what's-his-name? Y'know the big guy from Rocket Man?

The film has two scenes dealing with female nudity:

Harland Williams has done much better... like Half-baked.

 

[David Illingworth II]

Thanks for the scoop, Matt. And, it's funny, but I'm like the only person I know who doesn't like Half-Baked. Harland Williams was good in it, but unfortunately he wasn't in it much. But, there's plenty of him in Sorority Boys

Yes, and he was the only decent thing about the movie next to Melissa Sagemiller, Bree Turner, and that guy from Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane.

Sounds like the kind of movie i'd like.
Even if it's bad,there's no way in hell it's worse than Wishmaster 3.BLEH!
"My,what nice... menus you have."

 

[Scott Temple]

Thanks for the review Matt. I even went to Hastings yesterday in hopes that they might have it out early, but no luck. I'll be going back on Tuesday though. BTW, those menus sound nice.

This DVD is just $15.99 at Best Buy on Tuesday - plus you get a free Weekend At Bernie's DVD with it. I might just have to pick it up, even though I haven't seen the movie.

 

[Jason Whyte]

Hmm, think I may get this one. I will admit that the design of the DVD looks impressive. Let's hope they do something similar if they ever make a good titty teen film.
At the very least, Matt's not reviewing "The Master of Disguise" DVD. Keep up the good work.

Oh Jason, you know me better than that!

I want to take it through the car wash

And get it waxed. I want to wax it. Wax it! You know, and air dry. Air dry that shit, yeah!
I'm sorry.

 

[Jason Whyte]

Okay Matt, stop trolling.

Pre-ordered mine from BestBuy.com (unrated of course). Looking forward to seeing it.

On a side note, I went to a Minor League Baseball game tonight, and it was Van Wilder night, sponsored by a local video store chain. They gave out a couple copies of the DVD (not sure if it was R or unrated).

and it was Van Wilder night

I want a Van Wilder night here in Vegas.

 

[Scott Temple]

Just picked this up today. (The "Unrated" edition, of course.) Very cool! Matt, thanks for the help with finding the easter eggs on the menu screens.

 

[JamesHromadka]

Bought it today when I picked up Pulp Fiction but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
I think this is the first time that I've bought a DVD where the animated menus didn't bother me.

On disc 2 there are some stuff you can highlight and push enter (such as the unrated sign) and does nothing. Is there a point to these or are they there just for fun?

 

[Matthew Chmiel]

Ashley, you might want to go back to page one of this thread and read my easter egg guide.

 

[Matt Stone]

Okay, Chmiel...my copy will be here from Netflix tomorrow, so I can finally comment on it. I'm giddy with anticipation

Artisan Exec #1: "How the HELL are we gonna unload all the Van Wilder DVDs?"
Artisan Exec #2: (Off-handed comment) "Ha. We should have a big pair of bare boobs bouncing all over the menu screens!"
Both execs stare at each other silently for about 23 seconds before they both lunge for the phone.
