Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Moviemanic22 In 2012 I was searching for a good comedy movie to purchase that starred a hot woman, and I have to admit this was slightly below my standards. However I was happy with the female lead 'Kristin Cavelleri' But in comparison to Ryan Reynold's original, it was better. I could not understand what was was so novel about the 2002 movie that people made a big deal out of it. There was hardly any adult humour and it just focused on a love story. 'Freshman year' the third in the series ventures more in slapstick and sex comedy. his I have no issues with but throughout the movie I couldn't help but notice there was a 'police academy' feeling present. Even the first scene was very reminiscent of Mahoney's classic bj scene. If you're expecting a plot, you will be disappointed. There is a love story and it enters half the way in to the movie. Prior to that we are entertained by Jonathan 'big eyebrows' Bennett who entertains us with his crude and dirty gimmicks. There isn't much to explain this movie's relevance as a prequel because I don't think anybody would care. Kristin Cavelleri is nice eye candy. She gives good support and I fail to understand why she couldn't bag more film roles, because she has clearly displays acting ability apart from good looks. Ken Fuller is again as his usual best. Supporting cast are okay. In general worth seeing if you enjoy mindless comedy gags.

narlinz I have watched so many crappy movies these past 2 years, but this one takes the cake. I've never written a movie review in my life, but this was so bad- I feel it's my duty to tell the world. Freshman Year is a bastardization of the original Van Wilder Movie and I have to say... Freshman Year truly is the WORST MOVIE EVER! I'm not saying Jonathan Bennett is the worst actor ever, I'm sure he'd fit perfectly in Revenge Of The Nerds, but not a Van Wilder- there is nothing "cool" about this him... AT ALL! His lines were stale and forced with no fineness or charisma. He sounds like a geek explaining a math formula- Everything he says, it's like he's "pawning a noob" you or whatever you call it. He wouldn't get beat up if he went to my college, he would be ignored. HE'S COMPLETELY ANNOYING! And the rest of the movie followed suit. So there you have it. Hands down, WORST MOVIE EVER! Anyone that says otherwise works for National Lampoon.

Jackpollins From Ryan Reynolds to Kal Penn and now to a lesser known actor named Jonathon Bennett, these three have now all had their turn starring in a Van Wilder film. Ryan Reynolds was amazing, Kal Penn was pretty funny, and now Jonathon Bennett is pretty hysterical. The only difference between this and the first Van Wilder film is in the first one Van has been in college for 7 years, here he hasn't even been in college for 1 year. Bennett manages to pull it off, at least that's my opinion, but here's the plot. Van's family have all been legends at Coolidge College, and now Van is put to the test to do the same. But he has to put up with evil Dean Charles Reardon (Kurt Fuller, most likely you've already seen him in something but don't know his name by heart), and his evil assistant Dirk (Steve Talley, a poor man's Joey Kern). Van also wants to win the heart of Dirk's beautiful girlfriend, Kaitlin (Kristin Cavallari, if you've never heard of her, you're on the same boat as me). The film is essentially a collection of funny pranks, and Charles trying to get Van expelled. This isn't the first fall on your face hysterical Van Wilder with Ryan Reynolds, but Bennett does his job well, and the film manages to stay consistently funny. A very funny comedy definitely worth checking out.

matt_billings2001 Hey guys, I noticed that the movie had a pretty low rating, and really it's not that bad.If you're like me you loved the first movie and were extremely disappointed with the Rise of Tajh, which honestly was one of the worst unfunny pieces of crap i've seen in a long time.This movie actually really reminded me of the original, it might not have had the same budget or the same cast, but it was still really funny, and entertaining.I'm just gonna so go out and rent it, it's a solid watch, I watched it last night and i'm going to go buy it today. So give the movie a chance.
