American Pie presenta: Nudi alla meta

I am ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed this movie. It was one of those guilty pleasures that you keep out of sight of your kids, folks, and the respectable social ilk, to be sure, but I found this film to hysterical and enjoyable to watch.

I would suggest, if you haven't seen this film and decide to, see it without any expectations in comparison to the other American Pie films. It stands on its own and really, the only tie in is the Stiffler name. Also prepare yourself for some of the lewdest and crudest behavior I have witnessed on film short of porn. To forewarn you, within minutes of the beginning, a solo sexual embarkment concludes with a young lad ejaculating on his parents and grandmother, and yes, they show "it".

This film reminded me of 80's teen fare such as "Spring Break", albeit raunchier, raunchier on an entirely different level of raunchiness. The conflict between the midgets and our protagonists (?) was absolutely hilarious. The film features more than its share of nude ladies and blatant sexuality, including a Viagra-induced ring toss, for example.

What I've offered you here should be enough for those who steer clear of such humor to make their decision whether or not to see the film. But if you don't mind its naughtiness, it's a fun flick!

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.

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.

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.

The title says it all. I need to really screw my brain to fill the required 10 lines. The actors are completely unknown, the script is not that complex and it's rather bad. The mandatory opposition to the "team cool" is a bunch of evil midgets that somehow are better at American football and getting girls.

Storyline: virgin couple in high school are forced by peer pressure to go have sex with other people. It doesn't work and they get finally reunited. In the meantime a lot of teenage party and a bunch of people running naked for a mile.

Bottom line: uninteresting, badly played, nice girls.
