ROTTEN TOMATOES: Who Wants ANOTHER Slice of "American Pie"?

Who Wants ANOTHER Slice of "American Pie"?

by Gareth J. Von Kallenbach | July 12, 2006

It's a bizarre way for a movie studio to show its appreciation for a mega-successful trilogy, but here we go again... Remember that direct-to-video "Band Camp" sequel? Did you like it? Well, either way, get ready for "American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile."

Filming has begun on "American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile," an all-new, uproarious chapter in the hugely successful "American Pie" comedy franchise about outrageous antics and heartwarming fun. A DVD Original™ from Rogue Pictures and Universal Studios Home Entertainment (USHE), the film commenced principal photography on June 5, 2006 in Toronto, Canada. Building upon Rogue Pictures’ and USHE’s tremendous success with the DVD Original™ "American Pie Presents: Band Camp" – which sold over two million DVD and VHS units – this fifth installment of the Pie franchise is the studio’s latest effort to create cutting-edge content for DVD audiences that creates further velocity for properties with an unmistakable resonance among film fans.

Starring Christopher McDonald ("Happy Gilmore"), John White ("How To Deal"), Ross Thomas ("The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold"), Jake Siegel (his feature film debut), Steve Talley ("Peaceful Warrior") and Jessy Schram ("Veronica Mars"), "American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile" is directed by Joe Nussbaum ("Sleepover"), written by Erik Lindsay and produced by W. Keith Border and Joel Soisson of Neo Art & Logic, Inc. ("The Prophecy," "Dracula 2000" and "Trekkies" franchises, and soon-to-be-released "Pulse"). The film is based on characters created by Adam Herz and executive produced by Craig Perry and Warren Zide, who produced "American Pie 1" and "2," as well as "American Wedding."

The "American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile" creative team also includes director of photography Eric Haase ("Southern Belles"), production designer Gordon Barnes ("Gilmore Girls") editor Danny Saphire ("American Pie Presents: Band Camp"), and costume designer Mary Partridge ("Inside The Osmonds"). The film was cast by Monika Mikkelsen and Stephanie Gorin.

In this latest story from one of the most successful and outrageous comedy franchises ever, Erik Stifler has a lot to live up to as he can’t be the first Stifler to graduate high school… a virgin! The newest Stifler escapade delivers outrageous humor, heartwarming fun and laugh-out-loud antics.

Did anyone else recognize any of the names mentioned in the press release? No? Okay, that's what I thought.

not very well known and not very experinced cast,horrible crew this might turn out to be even worse than band camp, well ok band camp was an alright film (for a direct to video movie) but it just didn't have the same thing that the first 3 american pie films did and direct to video movies are always shit anyway so why make them.
(i agree with the guy up there who said that there wasan't any pie left)

The first one was good, the second one was alright, the third one kinda sucked. When I found out that they were making a 4th straight to DVD, all I could think is what is this world coming to. Straight to DVD sequel pieces of crap like that are proof that they don't care how good it is they are just trying to make money off it. Terrible

I didn't even watch Band Camp cuz it went straight to video. This sounds like it's gonna be like American Psycho 2: All American Girl. Hehe, both have American in the title.

Does anyone else see a depressing "Police Academy" trend developing here? That just means they're only one step away from a Steve Guttenberg cameo or worse....SUPPORTING ROLE!!

It's so easy to keep churning these movies out because they're just the same cookie-cutter format. My friends and I, for a laugh, tuned in to "Band Camp" on TBS and I swear we could practically predict 75% of the movie before it even happened. Take a gross guy, put him in an awkward situation where he's out of his element, give him extremely hot chicks to woo and a nerd to annoy. Now, the nerd is generally in love with another nerd and soon, to keep the nerd quiet about something he's done, he begins to help said nerd get nerd girl. He'll eventually need the nerd for something towards the end. Meanwhile, to get hot girl he'll have to come around and play along with the awkward situation and grow to like it. Insert token racial stereotyped characters' subplots here.

Oh yeah, it also have to have Eugene Levy doing his seemingly-patented bug-eyed look on the cover. That also is a staple. Put the DVD cases of American Wedding and American Pie: Band Camp together so his faces are right next to each other. They're strikingly identical.

Also, it says it sold over 2 million DVD and VHS copies....is that like 1,999,999 DVD's and the 1 VHS for someone? I thought VHS was becoming obsolete!

What kind of BS masters degree in Smartology do you get to write the fluffy crap copy for a press release? What class do you take to learn how to TRY to convince shmucks to buy crap using packeted nonsense like "heartwarming" and "cutting edge content"?
Hulk smash these industry drones.
