American Pie-was it supposed to be funny???!!?

The Gopher

After hearing so many good things about it i watched it last night on TV3.What a load of steaming piss!I thought this was supposed to be puerile sick laugh a minute kind of stuff.You see i like that kind of thing.I love the likes of Naked Gun,Scary Movie etc.I was under the impression that it was one of those"gross out"comedies as the americans call them.But sadly it wasnt.For a start nothing at all happened in the first 20 minutes.Then came a very poorly done joke.It wasnt actually made that clear until your one was about to drink the beer that the lad had spunked in it.Maybe it was funnier in the uncut video but it just didnt add up here.The only parts where i laughed out loud were with your mans dad with the porno[the only truly funny character in the film,he was hilarious i have to admit].But as for that hockey player and the blonde one-it took up most of the film and the script was as unfuny and gay as an episode of Dawsons Creek.WTF???!!?What was that whole angle all about?Its supposed to be a comedy and yet most of the film focuses on those 2 really being in love or whatever.Please!Spare us the bull!And the bit with the foreign girl naked in your mans bedroom-it was welcome,but one bit didnt make sense.She was getting him to feel her up,she was naked,he was stripping-and he didnt ride her!!!?!It didnt explain clearly exactly why he didnt.She wasnt to upset that he exploded before he should have-so why didnt he do her????Something was mentioned about that her minders were watching and sent her home,but yet again it was a little unclear.In conclusion id give this crap 4 out of 10-2 points for nudity and 2 for your mans dad.Other than that it was the most overrated ton of ****e since the exorcist.

ahh the Exorcist, now there`s a comedy .

I agree AP is crap, but not as bad as the sequel.

The uncut version is a bit better. Like the bit where he's holding the pie to his dick, in the uncut version he's lying on the worktop giving it his all. Did I say better? Oops, maybe just a lot more of a gross out movie.

Caesar_Bojangle

watch the uncut version, american pie 2 is ten times better.

You had to be blind to miss your man spunking in the beer.
& when nadia was naked Jim came twice, the first time he begged her to come back, the second time she left because she was annoyed. did you actually watch it??
Scary movie was Horseshít, The other wayans movies are better,

Films like this have a rating. People who arent old enough to understand, shouldnt really be watching.

What bit didnt add up? Did you not see the bit where he was getting head and he told her he was about to shoot his load, and she got up and he picked up the cup and finished the job? What was not clear about that?

Giblet already answered this bit for you.

Not really. He was supposed to set up the broadcast and send it to Stiflers e-mail address and your man Kevins but he messed it up and sent it to everybody in the area, so her host family saw the whole thing on the net and they sent her home.
It's not hard to follow the film.

GreenHell

Saw it for the first time last night, nothing special really.

Did you actually watch it last night or was this the video version?Unless i went to sleep for 2 seconds what i remember happening was that your man blew his load twice,but she didnt really mind too badly.Then it cut to the adbreak and you presume he did her,and next thing it comes back and hes at school where every1 is making fun of him for shooting twice in a short period.I know well that the foreign girls family sent her home,that bit was clear.But as i say it was never shown,as far as i remember anyway,why exactly he didnt ride her.
Anyway,as said before the film was ****e.

hacktavist

Lol, how old are you?

Dr. Loon

I'm afraid I agree. Age doesn't matter, it was a shíte film in reality. Mildly entertaining.
How old are you hacktavist that you enjoyed such arsé?? 5?

OMG has someone just posted on public boards that they were confused by, or didnt understand the plot of, American Pie !!!

buwaahahahahahahahahaah

Ahm, you'll understand when you're older, kid! Like, when you get to leave "the no-f%cking corner"!
God, this funny...

Venom

It was a crap movie with 2 or 3 midly amusing scenes in it.

SYL

American Pie 2 is better, Road Trip is even better than that. But for the ultimate teen-perv movie, ye should check out the original Porkys movie. now THAT is funny.

Venom

Cant comment on AP2 but road trip was not what I would call a good movie.Again it was very funny in parts but pure dross overall.

Porkey's and the various sequals were very good tho but then again they were the first of there kind so to speak where American Pie and Road Trip are just more of the same.

Dumb and Dumber and Something about Mary are wickedly funny movies and the best in the modern zany comedy peg hole.

The Gopher

Good point Kali-i suppose that trying to make sense of plotholes in a film with an in general crap plot is a bit futile.Considering that the whole film was in general crap maybe i shouldnt be suprised that the writers decided to save paper here and there by not actually properly finishing scenes.
And Dustaz,Nore,haktivist and anybody else who thinks that this film actually made any sense can fu*k off back to their own exclusive screenings where they apparently see full,sense making versions of the film.Because the TV3 viewers certainly didnt.

Look Gopher, seriously, the point is...










SHUT UP!

Yeah, Gopher, ye VIRGIN!

aw man that film was halarious .............it was brilliant!.........and then there was this one time at bandcamp ......................................................hahahaha

Mossy Monk

very funny film but as mentioned already, the Porky films are excellent. much better

Makaveli

In fairness all these kind of films are crap.
American Pie (1 and 2)
Scary Movie (1 and 2)
Road Trip
None of them are half as good as people would have you believe. If you dont want to have to think then they are grand but other than that they are bad films.
But they are not hard to follow either, so Gopher I dont really know what you are complaining about.

No, it was meant to be a serious social commentary on the issues that face young people around the turn of the millenium.

Yeah they're not half as bad as people would have you believe either

They're mind numbing films which you go to see with the intention of laughing your arse off for the 90 or whatever minutes.

Obviously some ppl aren't going to like those type of films just like I can't stand James Bond films.
But that doesn't mean that I'm going to start a thread titled "James Bond movies are they meant to be action or dribble?!?!"
:rolleyes:

One mans food is another mans poision I say! :cool:

Jim

ap was good, but not great, not really tat funny, id s****** but not roll over pissin myself.expected much more

DrizztIE

American Pie 1 and 2 rules.... what about Not another teen movie.... that was some piss taken movie and also Scary Movie 1 and 2.

The Gopher

Well,not to start another arguement,but one of my main original points was that this film should have been better than it was.It was officially in a category of films(gross outs as the yanks call them)that are usually very good i.e scary movie road trip etc etc.But the fact was that it was more of a drama than a comedy,with more time spent on the mind numbingly boring serious part about the hockey player and the blonde girl.Sure there were a few LOL bits,but only a very small amount.The theme of the film should have provided more but sadly didnt.with only the odd bit of humour here and there

Karl Hungus

In my opinion...
There hasn't been a good teen movie since Heathers.

BLITZ_Molloy

That film was the best of the current generation of teen movies. the sequel to AP and Porkies were crap - they'd lose their virginity so there wasn't the edge there that was present in the originals.

I frankly just loved all the little jokes in Ap - the way Jim(?) is running home to Natalie hopping over hedges and praying outside his bedroom door.

The dialogue was pretty cool too.

Jim: "So whats it like"
Other guy: "It's.. it's like warm apple pie."
Jim: "McDonnalds or homebake?"

the teen comedy genre has been done to death in the last 5 years though so I don't want any more of them.

AP was excellent at the time.

Kalina

Gopher, don't you think you're being a little too critical?? Nobody ever said American Pie was a movie that would make a lasting impression on you so why don't you just watch it without taking every scene apart and just enjoy it.
And maybe you should keep you eyes and ears open all the way through the movie so then you might actually hear important conversation and see important events in the movie which will help you understand what's going on (or just read Makaveli's post where he explains it all in simple terms so you can understand!!) .
Maybe then the scenes mightn't be so "unclear" to you.
