About Van Wilder: Freshman Year
It is freshman year at Coolidge College and Van Wilder is ready to party. To his dismay, all the girls have taken a vow of chastity and the dean rules the school. Van embarks on a crusade to land the campus hottie, Kaitlin, and liberate his school from sexual oppression and party dysfunction.
Directed by Harvey Glazer, Van Wilder: Freshman Year leans on a strong ensemble — Jonathan Bennett, Kristin Cavallari, Kurt Fuller — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2009.
