If you smiled more than about once when you read that, you will probably enjoy Van Wilder. It is quite funny, there is a disgusting joke every six seconds and you don't have to use your brain very much. There is also a memorable scene involving eclairs that is almost as disgusting as the naked wrestling in Borat.

Unfortunately this does not qualify the film as good, because it is flawed in its underlying premise. The Van Wilder character is made out to be quite cool. But really he is an attention-craving overfunded moral void who goes out with a vile girl who looks mostly like a withered twig. I bet if you knew him in real life and read a story saying that Bateman murdered him you would think it was a) just waiting to happen and b) funny. Because the sad fact is that Van Wilder bears a spooky resemblance to George W Bush during his "party" years. Look at the picture if you doubt me. It is not amusing, it is a bit frightening. Next they will be doing a film about Harold Shipman with arse gags in it and people will laugh.
