It's going to be weak. I didn't see that many real organizations in it, so I won't waste my time to see it.

I can't agree with you more.

He said since the Chevy Chase days......which would mean Vacation.....which was about 12 years ago. Animal House was made in '78.

Vacation came out in 83. The European Vacation movie came out in 85. But neither of those movies set a precedent for collegiate life like Animal House did. They were more than just half-ass movies about road trips but the antagonists weren't as evil.

Maybe, but the initial comment about Van Wilder being the best National Lampoon movie since the Chevy Chase movies was directed at NL movies in general, not movies about collegiate life, nor about the best NL movie ever. It has nothing to do with Animal House and everything to do with the simple opinion that Van Wilder was the funniest NL movie since the Chevy Chase movies.
And the last "Vacation" movie was "Vegas Vacation" in 1997.

It was alright, but not great. A far cry from the original "Vacation," "European Vacation" and "Christmas Vacation."

And I think that was the whole point of Elephant Walk commenting that Van Wilder was one of the few NL movies worth watching since the (good) Vacation movies.

Van Wilder is amazing. So is Animal House. Not such a fan of the vacation movies, but the the original Vacation and European Vacation were pretty damn good. Vegas was okay.
I might download the new Van Wilder but I'm not paying money to see it.

22 years, woops. He never said anything about collegiate life. He said Van Wilder was the funniest National Lampoon movie since Vacation.

I know. I was trying to stay as relevant as possible to the original movie mentioned...
Which, by the way, looks like a lot like Drumline. If anyone has seen Stomp the Yard already, correct me for what I'm about to say, but the movie seems like it has a final showdown between the protagonist's group and a snottier, flashier group where the protagonist's group wins. I mean, the movie looks really good, up until the BET celebrity appearances. It's like the Mighty Ducks movies with the cameos from NHL players. Entertaining, but kind of sugary.
