Really bad

I usually love these kind of movies. I liked Van Wilder. I even liked The Rise of Taj, but this one is terrible.

Van loves Kaitlin but you know they will not end up together since Van is a party animal who finally falls for Tara Reid. So the Kaitlin/Van affair leaves the viewer feeling bad about them.

Pet peeve: GETTING SPORTS FACTS WRONG IN MOVIES !!!

The football game was ridiculous. Coolidge is losing 17-0. They come back to take a 20-17 lead, yet we see THE OTHER TEAM kickoff to Coolidge after Coolidge had scored! They would not kick off since they didn't score. The endzone celebration of rolling the ball and knocking down the pins cannot be done in college football. It is a penalty! IS IT THAT HARD TO AT LEAST GET THE SPORTS RIGHT???

Then they should not put a sports scene into a movie. At least do some minor research to make it somewhat believable.
