Movie synopsis
The legacy of perpetual college party-man Van Wilder lives on in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VAN WILDER 2: THE RISE OF TAJ, as his former apprentice Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Kal Penn) takes the torch to jolly old England, where he is continuing his education at stuffy Camford University. At first things look bleak for Taj, despite his gleaming newfound confidence and hip makeover from his days at Coolidge College, as he is rejected by the prestigious fraternity, Fox and Hounds, and ends up boarding with a group of misfits. Driven to live up to his former mentor's good name and also to make his father proud, Taj sets out to prove his big-man-on-campus potential by unabashedly leading his outcast housemates in an attempt to defeat the wealthy elite of Camford in a range of competitions for the coveted Hastings Cup.Like its predecessor, the film is chockful of vulgar humor and sophomoric antics. Although Taj is the only character to appear from the first VAN WILDER (with the exception of Wilder's pet bulldog), many of the plot points are predictably similar. Occasionally peeking through the excessive sexual references, outrageous gags, and cringe-worthy debauchery is a laugh-out-loud film that encourages the underdog and thumbs its nose at the establishment. Much like the grandfather of all college films, ANIMAL HOUSE (1978), VAN WILDER 2: THE RISE OF TAJ examines the lighter side of higher education, pointing out that its not only about earning a diploma but also about discovering one's potential--and not forgetting to have fun along the way.

It's No Van Wilder ...

"Van Wilder" was one of the best films to come out of the National Lampoon studios since "Animal House" ... and that's saying something. When NL announced a direct-to-DVD sequel to "Van Wilder," audiences knew it would probably be the same caliber of the studio's other DTD videos.

In this respect, "Rise of Taj" does not disappoint. The film has its funnier moments, but on the whole doesn't deliver the laughs of its predecessor. The fact that Kal Penn chose to make the film at all is a miracle, seeing as he is a rising star with more credits to his name.

"Rise of Taj" is good for a lazy Sunday afternoon and not much more; it's definitely not worth watching more than once.

Hilarious

Hilarious movie. Kal Penn is a laugh out loud character in this movie. Balzak plays a part in the comedy too. Absolutely recommend this movie, along with the predecessor Van Wilder 1.

van wilder the rise of taj

i wasnt expecting too much watching this movie because of the absence of Ryan Reynolds. but to my surprise it was great. it had the same humor and pranks as did the first one. one thing i noticed though is that Kal Penn "taj" lost his accent. now i know its fake in real life but it should have stuck in the movie

Review For: Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (DVD, 2009, Dual Side; Rated Version)

The title does little to help with recall of content but the interesting thing is that after viewing I put it into the watch again drawer. Some things my super critic wife would never watch again but this is not one of them. It is not a "ho hum" movie. It has a relative character for everyone.

LOVE THE MOVIE

I love the movie. It was funny and it shows how VAn Walder help him make a stand for himself even through he left the school in America to follow his father footsteps. Also his father is funny too.

Good Movie
