Time has not been kind to the American Pie franchise.. The first one was excellent, the second one was not bad but lost alot of the first ones luster.. And then the 3rd and the frequent straight to home video versions which milked the franchise for all it was worth..
When the movie and redband trailer were announced I was generally excitied to see it.. But then I heard reviews of it and it made me less interested in seeing it.. I was still intrigued about seeing so I watched the DVD and I realized that much like my tastes have evolved this franchise hasn't..
Unfortunately they recycled alot of the material from previous films right down to the whole being upset at Stiffler and then finding a soft spot and accepting him again for who he is.. It just became one big cliche that we've seen already.. Is there nostalgia in this film, of course.. But to those that have since grown up from 1999 it is a reminder that juvenille humor is best left to the juvenilles...
