National Lampoon's Van Wilder
Don't graduate. Celebrate.
Directed by Walt Becker
Produced by Tapestry Films, Myriad Pictures
A lighthearted college comedy built on frat-party excess and crude humor, anchored by a romance subplot and the warmth of friendship.
Van Wilder has been attending college for far too many years and is scared to graduate, but Van’s father eventually realizes what is going on. When he stops paying his son's tuition fees, Van must come up with the money if he wants to stay in college, so he and his friends come up with a great fund-raising idea – throwing parties. However, when the college magazine finds out and reporter Gwen is sent to do a story on Van Wilder, things get a little complicated.
