American Pie Presents Book of Love - Better Than Average

Advantages: Better Than the Average American Pie, Good Sountrack, Good Story
Disadvantages: A lot of Nudity....Average American Pie

...you’re not familiar with the American Pie franchise, it is basically a teen comedy that began back in 1999 and has now stretched out into an additional 6 films, having 7 films in the last 10 years. They are typically famous for their high nudity content and careless attitude dramatising and highly exaggerating teenage life in American. Therefore a warning, if you don’t like seeing a lot of female nudity and even partial male nudity, you definitely ...
...a big fan of the American Pie films, nor do I think many people are but still chose to watch them because like it or not, it’s funny and entertaining if you are open minded and don’t mind seeing that sort of thing. I will try to be as PG as possible when describing and reviewing this film, but from what I have already told you, I think I’ve sumed up the whole films contents, so be warned. Summary The story starts off introducing the main characters ...

...stunts to become a star, Bruno has noticed something that may help his career move forward - all the big stars like Tom Cruise, Kevin Spacey and John Travolta seem to be straight (ho ho), so setting out to become 'de-homosexualised' to make his fortune nd so maybe the solution to his problems, care/off all manner of Tinsletown crackpots and psychics offering their services to achieve just that, including a fundamentalist gay hating Christian pastor... ...

The wedding of the year 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding'

Advantages: Fun, nice story
Disadvantages: Predictable

I first watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding a few years ago and although it hasn't become one of my favourite films, I do still watch it from time to time. The film first came out in 2002 so has been around for quite a while now. The story of the film is based around a character called Toula Portokalos (Christina Eleusiniotis).
