Review of American Pie Presents: The Book of Love (2009) by Loyal D — 19 Jul 2014

The 4th and thankfully the last of the straight-to-dvd American Pie films. Once again, you just get a phoned in sequel that feels like it is just trying to make more money off of the American Pie franchise rather than trying enough to make something that is at least good.

With Beta House, I just accepted it for what it was despite its problems and American Pie Book of Love somehow annoyed me a bit more. Most of the jokes remain lazy and there were some that were a lot more disturbing than funny.

There were two characters that whenever they appeared on screen ( John Patrick Jordan as Scott Stifler and the dumb kid who played Rob's brother), I just wanted them to disappear because they were annoying and had no purpose to anything and Rosanna Arquette as Rob's Mom I felt was just a bland copy off of Eugene Levy's character.

The positives I had with the film was one joke I thought was funny and I liked the scenes with Eugene Levy where they were reconstructing the Book of Love. Thankfully after this they end this franchise on a good note with American Reunion.
