American Pie presents Beta House (2007)

[Movie 1 / Day 1]


While this 'franchise' has moved a long way away from the original that spawned it all, this is actually quite amusing - as long as you've had enough beer.

It stars NONE of the original cast, apart from the marvelously-eyebrowed Eugene Levy who seems to have popped up in all of the sequels (certainly that I've seen).

It's attempting to be a gross-out comedy, but since it's Grandaddy (and the tens of imitators since), times have changed. No longer are we simultaneously titillated and disgusted by the sight of semen blowing across a room, or the consumption of copious amounts of beer.

However, Beta House remains relatively amusing in places. Plus it has a healthy helping of boobs, which never hurts. You do end up wishing that parties, as depicted in the movie, actually happened in real life though. I've certainly never been to a party with extremely good looking young poontang, dressed in an array of slutty school uniforms, all dancing on the bar. A shame, as I would quite like to.

My rating: 5.5 / 10
IMDB rating: 5.4 / 10
Running time: 88 mins

The point of it...

The point of this blog is to chart my progress in my attempt to watch an average of one movie per day throughout 2009...
