How can someone not love Ryan Reynolds?  He is just awesomity awesome awesome.  I love im best when he's slightly snarky and sarcastic.  It's his best trait.  So back to the movie.  It's the usual crazy slightly ridiculous National Lampoon movie, but Ryan Reynolds makes it.  I can deal with the ridiculousness if I can watch him be him.

Best Bits: 

Van Wilder: Are you stalking me? Because that would be super. .
