American Pie Presents: The Book of Love (2009)

Fantastic!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Okay, so I really like all of the other American Pie movies, this is...not so much. It seems as though they tried to put as much sex in as possible and let girls reveal themselves as often as they can. It's the usual 3 guys trying to get laid story, but they seem to get so close, so many times and constantly fail for one reason or another. The thing that gives this film its 4 stars is the fact that it actually made me laugh in some places. Apart from that, not too good. But still worth the watch if you like the others.The acting isn't brilliant, and the situations that they are constantly thrown into seem totally unrealistic of normal life, but still worth the laughs it will inevitably give you if you're a fan!

Seriously, who is paying to watch these things? This is the seventh American Pie film - despite the fact that any humour, charm or originality that the original had had run out about halfway through American Pie 2. The soft-core porn element is totally defunct in the internet age, and the plots have come to resemble episodes of Skins written by a Barbary macaque. In fact, Skins is worth mentioning - as it shows that teen comedies can actually be funny, well-written and intelligent. Compared to that, tripe like American Pie 7 is just insulting to teenage boys. Surely, this has to be the last of this franchise - I cannot understand why anyone would be paying money to watch or rent this tosh.

In a way I enjoyed watching this movie, though at the same time it obviously is not a very good movie. It has a really bad story and plenty of very immature moments and weak acting but still I feel that for the right group of audience this is a fun little movie to watch.It's still being a very simplistic movie, that pretends like sex is the one and only important thing for high-school students. This is the thing that mostly bugs me about these sort of movies, like you HAVE TO loose your virginity before you reach a certain age and you are a big looser and it's regarded as a big failure when you haven't. Even though in the end these movies still send out good and positive messages as well, about relationships and such, it doesn't make it right that this movie is so incredibly sex-orientated.And besides, some of the messages just are plain false and the movie shows stuff that is never going to happen in real-life. Like going for a relationship with a girl you are in the friends-zone with is a big no-no and when you are a fat nerdy looking guy you simply shouldn't even bother to go for the hottest girl in school and waste months or years of your life on it but instead focus on a girl that is interested in you and more in your league as well. Just my advise. Write it down in your book of love if you will, since it's more likely to help you more than the messages that get send out by this movie.But no, I'm definitely not hating on this movie, since it also did get quite fun to watch at times. Some of the comedy is very immature but still most of it is being somewhat funny as well, It probably has more misses than hits in it but still plenty enough hits to make you enjoy watching this movie, especially when you are in the right age-group.Still it's a shame that lots of things seem to randomly happen in the movie. Just think about it; how many sequences or characters in this movie actually add something to the story of the movie. It feels like lots of comical sequences got thrown together and came from different movie-scripts. It makes the story feel a bit messy but then again, who would ever want to watch this movie for its story?On par with the majority of the 'American Pie Presents' movie.5/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

As far as on again, off again film series go, American Pie has had its good and bad. I am pleased to say that the new installment in the series, The Book of Love is a perfect example of the good it has had. Splurging out new, young faces, such as Youtube star Brandon Hardesty and newcomer Kevin M. Horton, along with star of The Little Rascals movie Bug Hall. While all these fresh young faces make the film hilarious, the film is that much more funny with such classic faces as Eugene Levy & Rosanna Arquette. The film also features more than a handful of celebrity cameos ranging anywhere from Dustin Diamond to C. Thomas Howell to Bret Michaels. The film starts out with a semi-socially awkward teenager named Rob (Bug Hall) with his equally socially awkward friends Nathan (Kevin M. Horton) & Lube (Brandon Hardesty, who steals every scene of the film that he's in). When Rob floods the library, he must clean up and finds the legendary sex bible the high school they attend has. The book has been hidden under the book shelf and has water damage, so it is up to him and his friends to rewrite the famous book of love. While the film is predictable with typical situations and you won't remember for more than a couple of minutes after the final credits role, it's actually surprisingly extremely funny when you're watching it and definitely worth a shot.
