Van Wilder 2?

Seriously now, some movies definitely should NOT have a sequel... And Van Wilder was one of them...

The first movie is so hilariously epic and original, the guy who is the big man on campus and has been there for 7 years but still hasn't gotten a degree. This sequel, The Rise of Taj was a big mistake.

Taj was certainly a funny character in the first movie, he even stood out for being hilarious. But to focus the story on him was an idea gone wrong.

The storyline isn't horribly original except it just seems like a big competition between fraternity houses. You take the one house of loners and the house of the alpha dogs and then you match them up in an "epic" battle and of course who would come out on top?

RottenTomatoes.com gave it a rating of 8% and I would have to agree... Although in my opinion that might be 8% too much.
