Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj

Coolidge College alum Taj Mahal Badalandabad (Penn) goes to England’s Camford University to pursue graduate work and the dream of becoming the Sultan of Snatch. But when the oldest fraternal guild pranks him with reneged membership, Taj rallies the other rejects into nerdful vengeance. National Lampoon recycles countless collegiate comedies for this spin-off sequel, replacing Ryan Reynolds’s titular party boy with the far more charming Penn, but otherwise just putting a Brit accent on the same ball-sac humor.
