This Time It's All About Sticking Together.

For me American Pie was one of the best teenage comedies I had seen since 'Porkys' so I when I heard that a sequel was being made I was quite pleased. I did not see it in the cinema but saw it at a mates house when we rented it out from the local video store, in all honesty we were not expecting a lot, there are only so many times you can use the same ideas, jokes and cliches however we were all very pleased with what we saw.
The jokes could have been better and the idea of the film was unbelievable - how could you earn enough for that house on painting jobs alone? But for us that didn't matter to a great extent, we still laughed at what we saw on screen and how the charecters had developed, but especially Finch, he is now a confident man who is not afraid to go out and do something if he wants it enough.
I think the other thing that struck us was something that Jim spoke of in the film but did not strike us until a good 2 months later. It was the scene where Jim, Finch, Kev and Oz were sitting around at the table of Stifflers party, they discuss, 'so are we the cool guys who come from uni and come to parties? or are we the sad uni guys who have come to crash a party because there is nothing else to do' - I don't know if these are the exact words but if you have seen it you know what I mean. When me and my mate were out in a pub a few months later that is how we felt, that somehow we had been replaced by underage drinkers in less than a year.
I think that despite its outside impressions the film does say a lot, I think that to a certain extent most teenagers of the age of the charecters can relate to this and recognise parts of it in there own lives.
If you like this movie, I also recommend: American Wedding, American Pie, Scary Movie 1, 2 & 3, Cruel Intentions, Road Trip and Old School. |
