American Pie : The Naked Mile is the is the fifth American Pie , following American Pie : Band Camp. The movie was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on 19th December 2006. This film was directed by Joe Nussbaum. Running time of the movie is 97 minutes. The unrated version lasts for 102 minutes.
The film is about Steve Stiffler's cousin Erik. For those of you who have not seen an American Pie film ; Stiffler is the 'mad/wild/rude' character in the first three American Pies. So this movie focuses on Stiffler's cousin who is nothing at all like Stiffler , and so he feels under pressure to live up to his 'cousin's' wild ways. The title of the movie is 'naked mile' because the college students have to run a mile naked!
I am a major fan of the first three American Pie films. The storylines are great , the characters I grew fond of and I laughed my head off throughout all three of them. It is a shame that there were more films made after the Wedding one , because in my opinion none of them have the same level of quality as the first three films , and this , I feel gives American Pie a bad name. None of the films since the wedding have lived up to the first three and I feel that they were just made to make more money out of what was great comedy.
I think the main reason why I disliked this film is because of the absence of the original cast members : Jason Biggs and Sean William Scott as well as a few others. I think it was these great actors and characters that made the first three films such hits. They were the ones who made American Pie and I feel because they were the original characters , they are what I associate American Pie with , so when I watched this film without them , it felt empty and as if the creators had tried too hard.
I think that the American Pie movies have become repetitive since the original cast left ; it's always about college and wild parties and that's it. It's a shame that they keep adding more movies to the American Pie collection ,as they aren't that good anymore. I think they should have stopped making them after the Wedding , unless the original cast members were going to be present. Eugene Levi is still present as Jim's dad , but I still don't think it's the same as before. I preferred his character when Jim was present , as he was a lot more funnier as the 'embarrassing dad'.
Some parts of this movie are kind of far fetched. One of the characters is 'doing-his-business' and just as his mum dad and granny come into his room he 'explodes' all over the granny and she dies! I'm not saying this does not happen (I wouldn't know) , but I can't imagine something like this causing the death of a grandparent. What would they put on the 'cause-of-death?' bit on the death certificate ?
This film is ok , but I definitely prefer the first three movies so much more. I would say this movie is more of a 'guy's' movie as there are a lot of 'naked girls' in this movie! This movie contains very strong language and nudity , so I wouldn't recommend it for those under the age of 16.
