Having learned the ways of women from his legendary mentor, Taj Badalandabad (Kal Penn) sets out to study abroad (or two) at England's prestigious Camford University. But he and his bottom-heavy bulldog, Balzac, are quickly rebuffed by the elitist members of Camford's top fraternity. So with the help of a few new friends?and a bold new attitude?Taj plans to teach the school snobs a lesson they'll never forget! Amazon.com: The National Lampoon brand has always had very little to do with the movies it has graced. Even the not-so-bad Chevy Chase Vacation entries didn't really need the imprimatur of the famous satire magazine that had its heyday about 30 years ago: They pretty much became a brand in and of themselves. The same goes for the Van Wilder movies, which we probably haven't seen the last of. Even though Ryan Reynolds, who originated the title character in 2002 doesn't appear, his lowbrow, good-natured goofball spirit remains. The star this time is the eminently likeable Kal Penn, who made a big splash in 2004's Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and was Van Wilder's dorky sidekick Taj Mahal Badalandabad in the first movie. Here he displays more of his mentor's glib confidence, maturing into a sex-crazed, fun-loving grad student roaming the hallowed halls of England's (fake) Camford University. The comic situations he encounters there are simply a pretext for the typical sex, flatulence, beer-drinking, and class-division jokes you'd expect. Most of them come off well, thanks to Penn's comic aplomb, rubbery versatility and the rivalry he induces between the geeky misfit gang he ends up leading, and the snooty, upper-class Fox and Hound fraternity that clearly has to be given its lowbrow do. The battle for the pretty girl (Lauren Cohan, in truly good sport mode) who happens to be the property of super-twit Pipp Everett, the Earl of Grey, ends in predictable fashion, as does the rise of Taj's minions as bearers of the torch for the next Van Wilder, whether Van Wilder appears in it or not. --Ted Fry Beyond Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj More National Lampoon Movies More from Kal Penn Van Wilder's Guide to Graduating College in 8 Years or More: Everything You Need to Know About Books, Beer and Babes Stills from Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Kal Penn on 'House'...say it ain't so! I actually own the first Van Wilder on dvd and it has some laugh out loud moments,this movie,however never produced any laughs. Even the commercials for the movie didn't look that funny...plus it only had Kal Penn and I am not a fan,so I passed. It showed up on my directv guide and I still found something better to watch (like,Dewey Cox in Walk hard,which is actually funny) but,when I couldn't find anything better to watch I gave this a try and I wish I didn't. It's one of those movies ... Read More Rating: - Average Comedy Van Wilder- The Rise of Taj If you watched to first Van Wilder then you know that Taj was Van Wilder's assistant. Van was one of the coolest people on campus and taught Taj everything he knew. This time Taj tackles his own journey in the United Kingdom. Upon arriving in the United Kingdom he looks to join one of the most prestigious fraternity. He is told that there was a "typographical error" and is told to go to The Barn. The Barn is where all the rejects are. Taj sees potential in these freaks ... Read More Rating: - Not Nearly as Good as first Van Wilder I'd skip this version .It tries but its only average to less average fun movie. It is shame. Rating: - Taj "makeover" Taj has become the next Van Wilder. He is now able to inspire the least popular group of ppl. Through Van Wilder's past influence, he's able to portray a Taj with confidence.. watch it, u wouldn't regret it. I would love to watch over and over again... Rating: - Equal to the first, it is not. I enjoyed this movie as a comedy, however, it did not measure up to the original Van Wilder. I think they would have had a much better response to this movie if they had not used the name Van Wilder in it. It is worth a little chuckle here and there. see more Browse for similar items by category: Comedy - Genres - DVD - Video - General By Theme - Comedy - Genres - DVD - Video - Party Films By Theme - Comedy - Genres - DVD - Video - Sex Comedies Comedy - Genres - DVD - Video - School Days Comedy - Genres - DVD - Video - Teen
