That Movie has nothing to do with Animal house

Of course it doesn't.

This is from a positive review of the film:

An obvious attempt to bring that immortal Lampoon classic, "Animal House", into the 21st Century, this is the tale, or shall we say, saga, of Van Wilder, big man on Coolidge College campus - albeit for seven years and still 18 credits shy of graduation - with a penchant and talent for parties and party planning, babes, practicing safe sex, parties, wheeling and dealing, parties, and surprisingly, being a philanthropic overall nice guy. His charisma rivals that of his father, played here by that familiar Lampooner Tim Matheson, best known as "Animal House" Delta Rush Chairman, Otter - another smooth, likable, wheeler, dealer and schemer. Wilder is adored and beloved by almost every student on campus, not to mention a few faculty members. His social calendar is such that he requires a personal assistant. Of course, he does have his enemies, the most notable of which are pre-med fraternity boy, Rick, President of the DIK house and economics Professor McDougle.

It was clearly the intention of the time, from it being under the National Lampoon label, to casting Tim Matheson, *wink*wink*.

Anyway, Ryan Reynolds/Tara Reid - didn't watch and glad.
