How many ways can you say "dumb"?

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2003)

Author's Note: I saw this movie at the behest of a friend who thinks I haven't seen anything good. "Cameron Frye, this one's for you!"
While comedies are not my forte (I do not believe in the purpose of devoting a whole movie to that purpose), this movie only solidifies my hate of the modern Hollywood machine. I'm certain if John Hughes ever watched this he'd be thinking, "You know, I was competing against the same crap 20 years ago."
American Pie's biggest blunder is that it relies too much on insulting the intelligence of the audience in exchange for breaking ground. This is what made such movies as Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Breakfast Club superior. What makes such things as Monty Python and Dr. Strangelove so ENORMOUSLY superior is that they don't think the audience is stupid enough to walk into their movie to begin with.
The ultimate victim is the so-called "heroes" themselves because they are cardboard prop-ups of the typical American high school teenage. What are they thinking about besides sex? Not only is this unrealistic, but it insults every other stereotype throw into the mix. I am certain that if MTV executives got ahold of this movie they wouldn't change anything about it.
Overall, there you have it folks. An insulting, degrading, and outrageously stupid movie. With so many better flicks out there (try CLERKS instead) it is a wonder why you should waste your time with this. Stick with Fast Times instead. 0 out of 5 stars.
