flaky and sweet

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2001)

Allow me to review Mena Suvari's second "American" 99 movie. While not as dramatic, well written, acted, or even thought out as Beauty, Pie has an endearing charm that I cannot deny. An obvious throwback to the days of Sixteen candles and Pretty in Pink, Pie does things that Hughes would never take. and do you know why he wouldn't take them. because they are crude and disgusting. Sort of funny, but really crude and disgusting. There are better movies in the genre out there (there's something about Mary immediately springs to mind), but if your home on a Saturday afternoon with cable, give it a go. You'll be glad/disgusted you did.
