Friend and fellow movie-editor, Alex Hanawalt found one of the greatest entries in comedic journalism of all time- you guessed it- the reviews for Van Wilder 2.
Holy shit. Every reviewer is trying to find the best words to describe just how unbearable the movie is- it's amazing! I'm going to post my favorites, but it's really only a small sampling of what you can find at RottenTomatoes.com
"As the nerd sidekick to campus wildman Ryan Reynolds in the original film, Penn projected a geeky charm, but he's not equipped to play the lead in a well-constructed movie, let alone salvage this stunningly mediocre chain of skits." - Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Rather than pushing the envelope, the movie draws pictures of boobies on the envelope and tries to pass that off as comedy." - Eric D. Snider, Ericdsnider.com
"The film's incompetence is not limited to the writing, acting and directing. There are jarring jump cuts and continuity errors, and a laugh-out-loud eyeline mishap during a supposedly intimate conversation. One keeps expecting a boom mike to peek out." - Michael Ordoña, Los Angeles Times
"At one point I tried to force myself to fall asleep, just so I wouldn't have to sit through any more of it." - Joshua Tyler, CinemaBlend.com
BRILLIANT.
