awful pie - 3.5 / 10 This movie may have been ground breaking back in 1999 but Superbad took this formula and made it better in every perceivable way. More memorable and better characters instead of a virage of stereotypes. Alright what could have been done better. Really everything but let's start!
The film score was awful, mostly this awful college rock music and hearing the audio sand paper that is Bare Naked Ladies band, they make Nickleback another Canadian import sound like Mozart. We've got some of the most forgetful main characters to ever be filmed which only a handful of actors from this movie who had careers after. Shannon Elizabeth, though she's no 10/10 but she's prettier than the girls I went to school with, she's in it. There was also the woman from Orange Is The New Black and the girl from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
With the casting of the movie they seemed all over the place, not just acting capability but ages! The main character was the definition of bland, The jock stereotype seemed like he was in his 30s when this movie was being filmed and they got him making out with the "choir girl" who looked late teens, early 20s, if he was any older he could have been cast as her father. Stifflers mom was not a milf, sorry, she was a GMILF which is the step above at best and trust me, this is not a complement, that's pity. She looked in her late 40s. It would have taken more than a glass or three of single malt for me to consider her good looking. I'm sure he cries and washes himself down there with a special type of soap for downstairs every now and then.
There's some serious potential to make this movie funnier than it was as I may have chuckled two or three times. It wasn't edgy enough, or the cast just couldn't deliver the jokes as well as others would have been able to. The pie scene is legendary, possibly the TV with the static channel and of course the glass of beer, aside from that I probably won't remember much of this movie. It's just a bunch of "high school" kids complaining that they haven't "scored" yet. Whoop dee doo! They all found their elaborate ways to do so. One stereotype convinces his girlfriend, another does the "nice guy" approach and for some reason it works, than our main character realizing he can't get or be with anyone else and doesn't want to be a loser goes for this awkward girl who I'm sure the director told her to pretend to be on that certain spectrum. However she had the last laugh as she used him as much as he used her. Truly Shakespear of the modern age!
It seemed everyone was trying to make Shawnn William Scott the next big thing and just like Justin Long in the mid 2000s, it never happened thankfully to either as he's just terrible, even when I clicked this movie to talk about my horrible experience watching it HOO HOO HOO... THERE HE IS!
The most unrealistic, never in a million years scene you'd hear from the pathological liar at school telling you in the back of the bus or on Windows Live about the exchange student came over and the webcam was involved.
Would I watch this again? Nope, is it a classic? Maybe back then. I mean there are serious fans of the Blair Witch Project and Fight Club which the main character in fight club is just as forgetful and whines just as much.
