Despite mixed reviews and its raunchy humor not landing well with all audiences, “National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” is notable for its performance at the box office relative to its budget. It serves as an early showcase for Ryan Reynolds’ comedic talents, though it relies heavily on adult humor and slapstick comedy that may not be to everyone’s taste.
