Critics Consensus:A low-brow comedy, minus the comedy.
Lame, horrid sequel is even worse than the first.

Van Wilder 2002 Full Movie
See All- This is shocking only for its tepidness; except for some raunchy language, it's ready-made for basic cable.
- Penn is capable of so much more.
- National Lampoon recycles countless collegiate comedies for this spin-off sequel.
- Granted, it's still ****, but with a sweeter odor than usual.
- Entertainment Weekly12/6/2006 by Lisa SchwarzbaumEverything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety Van Wilder.
- Taj plays like a very bad combination of Revenge of the Nerds and Harry Potter.
- Britain and India face off in National Lampoon's Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, a strained attempt to transplant the American campus comedy to more uptight shores.
- Van Wilder 2's sense of numbing familiarity is not enhanced by director Mort Nathan's apparent unfamiliarity with the entire filmmaking process.
- Dude, where are my laughs?
- It's hard to fathom why this didn't go straight to video, or maybe even YouTube.
- Crikey, it's enough to give even stupid comedy a bad name.
- The four-years-in-the-making, badly recycled (not to mention awful) sequel might stain the honor of the Lampoon label if it hadn't already produced several even worse films.
- The Rise of Taj is relatively pointless in the scheme of things, but refreshing in what it (mostly) doesn't resort to for laughs.
- Hollywood Reporter12/1/2006 by Michael RechtshaffenPenn, who also takes an executive producer credit here, wanders around halfheartedly attempting to make something amusing out of the limp shock-comedy antics, but it all just goes in one innuendo and out the other.
- San Francisco Chronicle12/1/2006 by Peter HartlaubAs the movie itself is only occasionally entertaining, I invented my own competition: picking scenes from other movies that the Van Wilder 2 screenwriters ripped off because they didn't have any of their own ideas.
- Minneapolis Star Tribune12/1/2006 by Colin CovertAs 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.
- The Rise of Taj never rises to the level of time-killer.
- In this sequel to the 2002 campus comedy, Kal Penn spends much of the running time acting like Wilder I star Ryan Reynolds, which no actor with half a brain should be doing.
- This is the sort of film that thinks calling a beer a 'libation' is a form of wit.
- 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.
