CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

jdubu-96220 It is what it is. They weren't trying to win an Academy Award with this. Follows much of the same formula, only with Taj as the Van Wilder-like character. It's funny in spots, a bit sophomoric in humor. There's a rich bad guy, and a girlfriend who he doesn't treat well. The rich guy tries to get the title character thrown out of school...and so on. It was better than I expected. Just wish I had seen it earlier, as it's been out for 12 years. Would watch it again, as part of a Van Wilder double feature.

Andrew This movie is basically the EXACT same thing as the first movie but made with a different character. It wasn't too terrible to watch but I wasn't that impressed either. Nowhere near as great as the first one! I'd say it's worth it if you find it in the bargain bin for $5 or less but otherwise I wouldn't waste my money. Also wondering why, at the end of the first movie, Taj hooks up with this beautiful Indian girl but in this movie he has nobody and ends up hooking up with a girl in this one as well.. Not very good continuity if you ask me but I guess Hollywood is running out of ideas for original movies so they just do whatever they can to try and make a buck.. It's a shame really.

Thats_some_scary_stuff_Reviews Not a very good movie.Van Wilder 2:The Rise of Taj is a movie that almost completely relies on gross out laughs and unfortunately doesn't succeed.There are a only 2 or 3 giggle moments.Some people might be tricked into watching because its called Van Wilder. Don't be fulled ladies and gentlemen Van Wilder isn't even in it.Taj(Kal Penn)leaves college to continue his education he goes to a college in england where he wants to teach a rich bitch student(Lauren Cohen)not to be so serious.The actors did a OK job. That is what kept this movie from getting below 3/10. Kal Penn was funny. I didn't even know Lauren Cohen was in this(i know her from supernatural)but it was a nice surprise.This is not a very funny movie and at most times just plain stupid. The actors are the only thing that make this being worthy of even being called a movie. I don't recommend this. But if you want to watch a Van Wilder movie without Van Wilder in it then go ahead. They should have only called it 'The Rise of Taj'.3/10

karansandeep I see there are few very bad reviews on this movie. I think most of these reviews have come from British viewers who did not like mockery of themselves. I understand it is hard sometime to see the mockery of yourself, specially if you the one who mocks others. Well this is 21st century and British are no more ruling the world. Face it man.Rise of the Taj is quite a fair reflection of a confident Indian facing the British with confidence and pride. It is also a reflection of the fact that Britain is still divided into two classes the cynical asshole snobs ( who wouldn't mind of conquer the world again) and the liberal class who accepts everyone one in the British Society with open arms.One bad thing I would like to say about this movie is the ending. The characters of Taj's parents were really not required. They were bit pushy with their comic. The ending could have been also a little sensible.All in all it is a good movie and I recommend people from both Britain and India to see the movie. For British viewers I would only like to say please enjoy the pun and don't draw conclusions.
