AMERICAN PIE 2 and AMERICAN WEDDING contain some big laughs too, basically because the cast is so good, though I admit the fluid-focused humor may turn some audiences off.<BR/><BR/>If it means anything to you, Matt, rest assured that the DTV sequels, particularly THE NAKED MILE and BETA HOUSE, go whole-hog in the skin department, featuring more BPM (boobs per minute) than just about any other mainstream comedy I've ever seen. THE NAKED MILE is no cheat title, believe me.Marty McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084642122976337263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-5610486910696426722008-02-26T09:15:00.000-06:002008-02-26T09:15:00.000-06:00"Writer Erik Lindsay (who also penned THE NAKED MI...<I>"Writer Erik Lindsay (who also penned THE NAKED MILE) creates an odd DEER HUNTER parody, which is mystifying considering that nobody in the target audience has any idea what THE DEER HUNTER is..."</I><BR/><BR/>Heh! Yeah, I'm sure these movies are never rented by middle-aged guys with a desperate interest in recapturing, even for just ninety minutes, an explicit image of youthful sexuality and vitality which is otherwise absent from 99% of the films out there. Certainly doesn't sound like anyone I know!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recap, Marty. I only ever saw the first AMERICAN PIE film and found it not especially funny and decidedly paltry in the skin department, especially for the type of film it allegedly aspired to be, and never bothered with any of the sequels. I admit, though, that I've cast a sideways glance at THE NAKED MILE on the rental shelves more than once - I do, after all, live in Ann Arbor, where the Naked Mile originated as a UofM tradition before the city started cracking down on it - and I figured that unless that was a completely outrageous cheater title the film would have to deliver at some level.<BR/><BR/>Still, I don't know why it hasn't occurred to the producers of these films that they could save some money on actual skin if they could find actresses willing to do jiggle. It's almost like it's become more objectionable somehow to be simply braless rather than fully topless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
