The third part of an extremely underrated direct-to-DVD series, American Pie: Beta House brings back most of the original cast (led by John White and Steve Talley), and puts them together once again for a college experience many freshman dread: pledging in a fraternity.

A whole summer has passed since Erik, “black sheep” of the infamous Stifler family (who’s father is played by Christopher McDonald aka: Shooter McGavin), and his friends visited his cousin (and on-campus legend) Dwight at college and experienced a weekend that consisted of crazy parties, battles with a fraternity made up of maniacal little people, and running naked through campus.

American Pie: Beta House is available on DVD December 26. Here is a leaked scene from the movie where the guys of Beta House have a kegger and invite “school girl” dancers.

In 1999, a phenomenal event occurred that forever changed the way people look at pastry: American Pie debuted in movie theaters.

American Pie is the story of a group of friends consisting of awkward Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz the jock (Chris Kline), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) in a serious relationship with Tara Reid, the sly Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and resident asshole Stifler (Sean William Scott). The boys are in their senior year of high school and have embarked on a quest to get laid before prom night. Hilarious hijinks accompany their pursuit.

Along the way we meet many characters: the sexy foreign exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) who prompts Jim to blow his load a little early in front of a live audience on the internet; Stifler’s hot mom, who becomes Finch’s conquest; Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), who becomes Jim’s girlfriend and sticks her flute where the sun doesn’t shine; and in my opinion the one who steals the show, Eugene Levy as Jim’s Dad who buys him pornography and catches him doing a pie.

The streak continues for Judd Apatow’s comedy crew. In Superbad, writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have take the signature raunchy wit of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and let it lose on the high school sex comedy genre. While the “nerdy guys trying to get laidâ€? formula may seem well worn at this point, Jonah Hill and Michael Cera rip through line after line with awkward comic genius. From debating the best porn site to subscribe to so their parents don’t notice it on the bill to the merits of a breast reduction, this brilliant comic duo speaks with such conviction they might as well be debating politics. It has to be said that Michael Cera, who some may know as “George Michaelâ€? from the comic masterpiece Arrested Development, is the Marlon Brandow of the awkward teenager. (more…)
