From previous posts, you may know that I dislike it when people
bleed a franchise for everything it's worth, and the American Pie franchise has
seen it's fair of bleeding. Namely Band Camp, Naked Mile, Beta House and Book of Love (Shame on you Eugene Levy,
even though he apparently did the DVD ones on the cheap).
So excuse me if I was a little blasé when it came to American Reunion,
or the 65 other slight variations on that title. It looked generally more
of the same as the first 3 (and maybe the DVD ones, I haven't seen anything bar
the first), same characters, same setting etc, could work, may not... It was
also billed as the 4th in the series, excommunicating the straight to DVD
stuff. Ha!
But it looked worth watching, purely for an element
of nostalgia, and the wife wanted to see it too so bingo, we're off.
Some of it felt tired (hmm I wonder if Jim'll end up in an awkward
situation... oh yeah, there he goes) and to be fair the film was exactly what you'd
expect, almost frame for frame. Some of it felt... wrong (no spoilers). However
that isn't necessarily an entire negative, as it was easy and familiar to
watch and enjoyable throughout. But please don't make any more.
Oh and why was Oz not mentioned in the 3rd film at all, not even a breath, he vaguely mentions it here but still...
Oh and there were tits, of course there were tits it's american
pie. Oh and Jason Biggs cock (or stunt plastic variation). No pie though... but well worth seeing.
