American Pie Presents: A 'Revenge of the Nerds' Rip Off
Filed under: Comedy », Deals », DIY/Filmmaking », Remakes and Sequels »
Since I lost track of these weak, straight-to-DVD American Pie sequels at some point after the fourth installment, I'm kind of going at this with a blind eye. Apparently, a direct sequel to last year's American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile is already in the works (making it the sixth Pie-related film to hit the streets), with pre-production taking place in Toronto as we speak. American Pie Presents: Beta House will feature the same four dudes (John White, Ross Thomas, Jake Siegel and Steve Talley) from Naked Mile, only this time they're all grown up and heading to college. Beta House? College? Hmm, I smell a frat-related teen sex comedy heading our way.
In fact, that's exactly what happens. Pic centers on Erik Stifler and his cousin Dwight Stifler (who, I imagine, are both cousins of the original Steve Stifler). Upon entering college, Erik (apart from his name ending in a 'K,' sadly, the two of us have nothing in common) joins the Beta House, lands a girlfriend and goes to war against the evil GEK house who -- you guessed it -- are out to destroy the weaker frats with their money, brains and guys named Bret. Right now, casting is underway for Erik's main squeeze Ashley. Moviehole describes her as being "super cute, confident, together, instantly comfortable in the new collegiate surroundings, she is a catch." Basically, she's every girl that wouldn't date you in college. Andrew Walker will direct, with Joel Soisson and Keith Birder producing. No word on whether Eugene Levy will once again make his "purely for the money" cameo. Anyone out there actually watch The Naked Mile? Is it any good? Are these American Pie Presents flicks worth a spot on my Netflix queue?
Even MORE American Pie! Oh, Joy.

Dammit people! If you would just stop spending money
on American Pie
releases, they would stop coming. Apparently you don't understand this, because you went and dropped millions (and
millions and millions) of dollars on the straight-to-DVD release,
thus giving life to a franchise that, by rights, should have died long ago. So, you have only yourselves to blame for
this: American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile. Yeah
yeah -- it's a little late for apologies now, don't you think?This installment will focus on yet another Stifler, Adam, who somehow became a high school senior without anyone noticing he existed. Ah, but he's just a cousin, so don't worry. Really, he's been there all along. Anyway, Adam is having some trouble living up to the Stifler name, because he's a good kid, who actually "respects his girlfriend's desire to wait to have sex." Jeez, what a loser, huh? Luckily, he and some friends get to leave the ball and chain behind for a weekend when they visit some Stiflers (don't be shocked if you don't recognize any of them) at college, and party like rock stars. Oh, and run around naked. Rest assured there will be foreign exchange students and boobs around every corner.
What's even more depressing about this is that the movie's being directed by Joe Nussbaum. You remember him -- he's the guy who Erik told you about the other day with the dream life: wrote and directed George Lucas in Love, got the attention of his idol, and just sold a script to Warner Brothers. I suppose he's got to eat but, man, does it have to be Pie?
