National lampoon van wilder fart
Taj encounters all sorts of stuck up Brits and puts them in their places via the popular activities of fencing and badminton.
#NATIONAL LAMPOON VAN WILDER FART MOVIE#
The mere fact that the pimps who prostituted out this movie attempted to infuse a bit of thematic elements is an insult. Despite their goofiness, Animal House and Vacation had a relatable subtext – be it the collegiate outsider or family vacation. These days, the Lampoon movies have titles such as Dorm Daze 2 and Pledge This! that are fittingly more porno-esque than National Lampoon-esque.
Taj is a far cry from heyday of the National Lampoon series. Sure, a part of the real life experience is drinking, sex, and dick and fart jokes, but if real life imitated the movie’s scale, we’d have a civilization that would resemble Idiocracy. Which begs the question, “does imitate life or does life imitate ?” Much like the rest of the “frat boy” humor sub genre, the Rise of Taj seemingly imitates fictitious pre-conceptions of college life. By doing so, it supports an amoral world full of people who operate on a sub-human level. However, the story is merely an excuse to exploit and glorify the supposed debauchery of the college experience.
After graduating from Van Wilder 101, Taj (Kal Penn) heads to Camford University in England (for whatever reason) and joins up with a bunch of misfits to put the frat boys in their place. It’s the kind of trash that makes you weep for the future of humanity. Make no mistake about it, The Rise of Taj is the epitome of cinematic smut, and it’s not even the shamefully enticing kind of smut. To engage in even a negative discussion about National Lampoon’s Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj would be giving the film much more attention than it deserves.
