Van Wilder

In "Van Wilder" main character, Van Wilder, demonstrates the spitting image of a college failure. Son of a wealthy father, Van Wilder has been a student of Coolidge College for six years. When Van's father realizes when he needs to "cut his losses" he tells Van he is done paying for his college. Van Wilder being a famous partier at Coolidge seems to be hopeless. How would he manage to make payments and graduate college with no cash support? Just when his situation seems dier, Van is approached by a few students of a Fraturnity. The fraturnity is known as the "brains" of the school and they come to Van to expand socially. They offer Van $1,000 dollars to through them a party. Movie writer Brent Goldberg shows the audience how inteligince can make any skill shine. Van Wilder throws the Fratunity a party. The fallowing week the school news paper had uncovered the secret; van wilder had thrown that party. What had seemed to hurt van actually publisized him. Van Wilder is now im business. By throwing parties Van wilder gains enough money to make his way through college and graduate. The story demonstrates how hard work can pull through. Van Wilder could through parties, he used his skill to make his money to pay for his college. Brent Goldberg incorporates humor and suspense flawlessly in "Van Wilder" by setting a realistic and humorous college seen. By partying to much he lost his fathers respect and money, but in the end his partying skills provide him with everything he needs to get things done. The way the Goldberg brings a positive theme into college partying is original and interesting. He shows how perserverince with the motive to do right things leads to success, under what look to be impossible circumstances. Main character Van Wilder finds what it takes to earn a dollar. Throwing parties really took a toll on Van. This is when he got motivation to stop partying and to graduate. This motive is an important theme in "Van Wilder."
