Bennett had the very challenging task of following in Ryan Reynolds footsteps in the title role of Van Wilder. He did a fantastic job, combining elements of Reynolds, Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller to pull off his hilarious take on the character. If you liked the original National Lampoons Van Wilder, the team on Freshman year follow through on what they advertise in the Freshman Year trailer and give you more of what you love.
