TC Candler's Review

No Stars

F

Trash...

Guys, girls, beer, accidental sperm consumption, feces in face, stereotypes galore, bad acting, inconsequential directing, lame script... one good week at the box office... video rentals for frat boys without dates!

I am getting tired of these all too frequent gross out teen comedies that fail to evoke even a single belly laugh. The biggest joke in this film is Tara Reid, who renews her age old rivalry with Liv Tyler to see which one can claim the title 'worst actress of all time'... I seem to change my mind each time one of them releases a movie!

This is a vile film with no redeeming value whatsoever.

Richard Propes' Comment

One thing you will learn on Independent Critics is that TC and I disagree considerably when it comes to these stupid little teen comedies. I enjoyed "Orange County," he loathes it. I found this silly little flick kind of charming, he loathes it. Get my point? Tara Reid is her usual awful self here, but there's something about Ryan Reynolds that makes me smile (no, not the fact he's sleeping with Alanis Morisette). This film also has Charlie Talbert, who starred in my all-time favorite teen flick, "Angus." "Van Wilder" is your usual National Lampoon flick, but it works more than most of their recent films. I admit that the whole bulldog jerk-off was a bit much, but at least it was unique! Is this a brilliant film? Of course not. It aims low, and hits its target.
