American Pie is in fact a trilogy. It shows a steady cast going from puberty to marriage. From high school to day jobs. After those movie successes, the American Pie franchise has been milked dry over the course of a decade. Every possible stupid scenario in teens lives has been exploited and forced on to the movie market with the successful AMERICAN PIE label. Although these movies share absolutely NOTHING with the original trilogy. Okay, Eugene Levy 'acted' in some of them, for reasons unknown apparently. But still, these movies are all money and time wasting spin-offs, not even worth the movie poster they were printed on.

Honestly, think about it. There are so many superb directors with brilliant movie ideas who actually have to go through crowdfunding to get their projects financed and their movies made. Thus I wonder what incompetent nincompoop would freely give money to a director for yet another American Pie movie? Seriously. How do these pitches actually take place? Is there really a loser out there with an idea, running to a studio and actually getting lots of money for this stuff? What do they present at such a movie deal pitch? A script? Some nude college girls?? I will never understand the movie business.

Yes, a Top Gun remake (or sequel?) was scheduled for summer 2020. Apparently this did not stop the producers to quickly push their own mock version of Top Gun to the market. Market? What market? All Top Gun veterans from the 1980's wouldn't come close to this cinematic crap let alone watch it and the Millennials don't know what the heck this is. So who is this movie intended for? Beats me.

Also, Eric Roberts seemed to follow in Nick Cage's footsteps by accepting virtually every script that winds up in his mailbox. No matter how bad it is. Seems neither two have a reputation anymore to uphold.

The producers were also snotty and bold enough to keep "Top Gun" in the release title, which is surprising. So if you love amateur acting, plot holes, anachronisms, goofs, errors, visual mistakes and clueless directing, then you came to the right picture. Everyone with a bit of cinematic taste should avoid this though as it will cause eye cancer, bleeding from both ears and uncontrollable vomiting.
