Third Van Wilder Flick Goes Straight to DVD

Ryan Reynolds cut a nice comic figure in the original Van Wilder, elevating the movie despite the presence of Tara Reid. Then Kal Penn took the anarchic collegiate party-planning overseas in Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj, about Wilder’s protégé-turned-playa. Now there’s the announcement of the not-particularly-clamored-for completion of the trilogy, in the form of Van Wilder: Freshman Year, which hits DVD and Blu-ray on March 17 and promises to be “packed with panty raids, wild parties and shocking behavior,” according to the press release. For those wondering, the curiously-eyebrowed Jonathan Bennett (Mean Girls) takes over as “Van the Man,” Kristin Cavallari is the requisite eye candy, and Steve Talley, Kurt Fuller and Linden Ashby costar as Van’s partners in mayhem.
