American Pie 5: Una fiesta de pelotas

While most of us secretly want more American Pie films in the off chance we get another classic as in the first three, we all know its not going to happen. What we will get is poor films out to make money (epitimised by Levy's cameo appearance) with the 'American Pie' attached to the title.

The general plot is not so bad, though a bit familiar. The movie revolves around Erik Stiffler (the legend that is Steve Stiffler's lame cousin). He's a virgin just about to finish high-school (sound familiar?) and he has a virgin girlfriend who is not ready to have sex (bells should be ringing). I wont go into it anymore but i'll sum it up by saying he gets into a moral dilemma and learns something in the end.There's also a part for the 'little people' but I wont go into that. The first four films restrained from overdoing the nudity, but no such attempts were made here. If you like that sort of thing then your in luck, however personally I feel it cheapens the movie.

Eugene Levy did not do his career any favours by appearing in this. He did not really contribute to the film at all other than remind us all how much worse this movie compared to its predecessors. The overall acting is not so bad either, though the movie hardly demands high standards. None of the characters are funny in any way. Even Eric Stiffler, who may have had some potential, was completely misused in the majority of the movie.

If you're dyeing for more American Pie you are not going to find it here. Is it better than Band camp you ask? I'm not so sure. There are parts that might seem funny to others but personally they bored me to death. I would recommend watching one of the first three instalments of the series instead of watching this dire effort for a movie.

Very poor entry in the Pie series. "Band Camp" didn't compare to the original trilogy but it still had some of that American Pie charm plus a semi-interesting story. It also had some funny gags and some funny lines. All that is missing from this fifth entry. "Naked Mile" had no really funny or memorable moments. No story. And a terribly bland, forgettable cast. While the original Pie films felt like a smart homage to the sex romps of the 80s (Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds, etc), this one just felt like a retread of the lame straight-to-video sex comedies of the early 90s (Ski School 2, Meatballs 4, etc). No real imagination went into making this movie. It was purely made to quickly cash in on the DVD success of "Band Camp". Of course many people will watch this just for the naked mile scene in which several naked female breasts are shown bouncing around. That's about the only watchable scene in this whole film. Sadly, by that merit alone most people will see this film as fitting for a recommendation. Trust me, it's not worth it.

Erik Stifler (John White) is still a virgin since his girlfriend Tracy (Jessy Schram) wants to wait. He can't live up to the legacy of cousins. After a night of misadventure, Tracy gives him a guilt-free pass for the weekend. He and his friends go to party with cousin Dwight Stifler (Steve Talley) at college where he tries the local tradition of the Naked Mile, a naked run across the campus. Tracy gets scared and has second thoughts. And there's the sexy college girl Brandy (Candace Kroslak).

This is an even more raunchy movie than the main franchise. The guys are a bunch of boring actors with no particular charisma. Their biggest sin is their lack of comedic skills. There is a general lack of funny jokes. They try a lot of gross out jokes and naked comedy but the guys can't pull any of it off. I do love the angry midget frat. At least that's a little different and actually funny.

Before I saw this movie I expected to see the story about another popular adolescent who is the leader of the group and is admired by everyone... but it was more than what I thought. It's about a boy like you or your best friend or neighbor: Erik Stifler.

Erik is forced by his friends to do what all Stifler's men do: being a winner and getting laid. His girlfriend acts like a total bi*ch and refuses to have sex with him so then she gives him a pass to do whatever he wants for a weekend at a "Naked Mile". This movie isn't funny at all, more romance.

The characters are pretty likable but its not as great as the first three American Pie movies. This one simply doesn't have that same spark as the others.

As a rewatch 03/03/24' this film is a serviceable watch but knowing not as good as the original. The comedy isn't that strong but somewhat funnier than Band Camp. The midget frat guys were some of the highlights.

1. Sorority girls like high school guys 2. Girls are willing to show their tits on command 3. Eugene Levy has a lot of depth as an actor 4. Lingerie/underwear parties are very common 5. You can drink where ever you want on a college campus 6. People find it hilarious when you walk around a party erect and even drinking games take place because of it—you become the life of the party 7. The continuing development of the pool table to lose your virginity shows the lack of talent by the writers 8. Girls love virgins and inexperienced guys 9. When guys climax they kill grandparents

Overall, this movie has some entertaining qualities, and if you are a male, you will enjoy the massive amounts of frontal nudity.
