The Rise of Taj is relatively pointless in the scheme of things, but refreshing in what it (mostly) doesn't resort to for laughs.Full Review

Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety "Van Wilder."Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Penn, who probably didn't need this shoddy placeholder after the cult success of "Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle's," acquits himself with a gentle charisma that makes the crudity go down easy. Granted, it's still s---, but with a sweeter odor than usual.Full Review

National Lampoon's Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj harnesses smut and silliness to an oddly innocent tale of true love.Full Review

If you liked "Van Wilder," which starred Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid, be warned: The only person returning from the cast is the boring Indian kid Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Kal Penn).Full Review
