Electronics-Online-Store - Brands - Funniest movies ever!

This is one of those movies that works for all the wrong reasons--disgusting, lowbrow, base humor that we are all far too sophisticated to find amusing. So, just don't tell anyone you still think it's a riot to watch John Belushi as the brutish Bluto slurp Jell-O or terrorize his less-aggressive fellow students. This crude parody of college life in the '60s spawned many imitations, but none could match the fresh-faced talent or bad taste of this huge box office success. (Remember all those toga parties in the '80s?) The first of the National Lampoon movies, this was originally released as National Lampoon's Animal House. Keep an eye out for a very young Kevin Bacon in his first credited screen appearance. --Rochelle O'Gorman ... Read more

YEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ye man this movie is sick! everyone else says they dont like the ads I didnt even notice there were ads how actually pays attention to aDS! i mean come ON!!!!!! this movie is so funny i pissed my pants it's so good so buy it! or watch just see the damn movie!!

I Love Animal House The Movie.I Hate This DVD.
I must have seen this movie 20 times as a kid.
Could not wait to watch the DVD:
- HEY!What's with all the commercials?
- WHERE did I leave the remote?
- WHY isn't remote control working?SMACK, SMACK, SLAM, SMACK!
- WAIT a minute, the remote is working.The DVD must be locked!
WOW! What jerk thought up this new torture?

It's one thing if you decide to watch the previews.
This is just cruel...

I wish I had read the other reviews before buying this DVD.
My excitement was dead by the time the movie started.
TWO THUMBS WAY DOWN ON THIS DVD...

I dont see what the big deal is
A while ago I told my buddy in my class that i never saw Animal House, He looked at me like I just drank a cup of cat piss........Ok now Im a social reject for never seeing this movie, so I figured what the hay, ill go rent it
Allright now Im a college student..i dont live in a dorm but I take classes at a smaller school in a big town so theres stuff to do.....all I could muster from this movie is that unless your getting smashed every weekend or making yourself looking like a fool you wouldnt fit in at any school. This movie proves that this is the case. I dont know why college kids are so impressionable to these kinds of movies, its so cool when they do it, but when we try it we get arrested, injured or emotionally ruined.......and yet we keep at it every weekend. Well not me.......I dont see what the big deal is with college kids partying every weekend...and as for fraternities.....(this is kind of off the subject) but why would someone want to like try and get themself castrated just to get into an endless keg party in a rich kid's house(noticed that in Van Wilder), its just a stupid tradition that our generation needs to put an end to. lets move on to something else....... ...

Editorial Review

Delivering exactly what its title promises, this celebration of stupidity was Jim Carrey's 1994 follow-up to Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask. The film pairs the rubber- faced wacky man with Jeff Daniels as the not-so-dynamic duo of Lloyd and Harry, dunderheads who come into the possession of a briefcase containing ransom money that is intended for Mob-connected kidnappers.Lauren Holly costars as the woman who lost the briefcase, and with whom Carrey falls in love (both in real life and as his moronic on-screen character). As Lloyd and Harry make a mad dash to return the briefcase (never aware of its contents), the bumbling buddies attract Mobsters, cops, and trouble galore.This lowbrow laugh-a-thon scores some solid hits for hilarity, but with gags involving ill-fated parakeets, buxom bimbos, and an overdose of laxatives, be prepared to put your brain--and good taste--on hold. --Jeff Shannon ...

Funniest movie
The Funniest movie of all time I believe. I have seen it between 50 to 100 times what a joy of a movie.

STUPID AND RETARDED!
If you liked this movie, this describes you. Good thing they
made a sequel, keep your undeveloped brain entertained! I love
Jim Carrey but, this movie is too stupid even for him!

I'm Talking about a Little Place Called ASSSSPIN!!!
Hilarious as it was with two unemployed guys down on their luck until Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) decides that he and his pal Harry (Jeff Daniels) should get plugged into the social pipeline - all because of a briefcase left behind by the girl of Lloyd's dreams - and getting tangled up in a kidnap for ransom plot. Unknown to them, they were being pursued by two thugs, following them 2,000 miles from Providence to Aspen.

This was one of Jim Carrey's best movies, using his hilarious style of humor and acting as he had in "Liar Liar", the "Ace Ventura" series, "Cable Guy" and "Me, Myself and Irene", making the most annoying sounds, dueting "Mockingbird" with Jeff Daniels and both being dressed in the most outlandish tuxedos that seem to come from another time. This movie is sure to cause any Jim Carrey fan to roll around the floor in laughter and this is one movie that is too funny to miss out. ... Read more

Editorial Review

For Adam Sandler fans only, this dopey comedy features the former Saturday Night Live star as an overindulged rich guy whose father insists he repeat grades 1 through 12 before taking over the family business. The scenario is perfect for Sandler's infantile leanings (which he has fortunately outgrown in more recent movies), and for the most part the jokes about being too old and too big for the experiment are obvious. Chris Farley and Steve Buscemi turn up in uncredited cameo appearances, but otherwise the film is pretty dismissible, except for those diehards who can't get enough of Sandler. --Tom Keogh ...

A comedy classic like no other!
One of Adam Sandler's best movies, Billy Madison is the absolutely hilarious film that sparked Sandler's long reign as a romantic comedy box office draw. Exhibiting a sharp wit, combined with a touch of sensitivity for the fairer sex, the former Saturday Night Live standout successfully distances himself from the lewd and crude comedy path and creates a nice medium between outrageous and lighthearted comedy. It's a path he would later follow with box office hits Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, The Waterboy, and Mr. Deeds. In Billy Madison, he follows that same path to perfection...

Billy Madison follows the life of a character by the same name (Adam Sandler) - a 27-year-old unemployed heir to a hotel fortune who lacks all ambition. The opening scenes capture Billy lying by the pool with his friends, hungover and completely out of his mind, and they set the tone for a movie filled with humorous antics and great one-liners. But Billy's life of laziness is turned upside down, when his father (Darren McGavin) decides that he's going to retire from running his multimillion dollar hotel empire. He appoints his arrogant and condescending assistant Eric Gordon (Bradley Whitford) as heir apparent. The appointment comes as a shock to Billy who thought he would automatically inherit the reigns upon his father's retirement. But when Billy's father reveals that he paid all of Billy's teachers from kindergarten to high school to give his son a passing grade, the young man begins to understand why. Billy quickly offers a deal to his father that if he can pass grades K-12 all over again, then he will inherit control of the hotel empire after all. His father agrees.

As Billy goes through each grade, he meets a number of new friends - mostly third graders. He also falls in love with his beautiful third grade teacher Veronica Vaughn (Bridgette Wilson) who is quick to condemn Billy as a lazy, self-absorbed, screw-up. However, she later recognizes his sensitivity and special way with children, and she develops an interest in him as well. Also interested in Billy is the gay elementary school principal Max Anderson (Josh Mostel). When Eric Gordon sees that Billy is going to successfully pass each grade, he blackmails Principal Anderson. If Anderson doesn't go on TV and tell the world that Billy paid him for a passing grade, he'll tell everyone about Anderson's hidden past as a pro-wrestler named "The Revolting Blob" who accidentally killed another wrestler in the ring.

When Billy's grade school friends come to his aid, it's determined that Billy and Eric will fight for control of the hotel empire via an "academic decathlon". Now, only Billy's wits can win him what he most desires...

Billy Madison is a movie with a number of hilarious scenes. In one such scene, a third grader accidentally "pees his pants" and is afraid to get on the bus during a field trip. Sandler throws some water on his pants and tells the other children that "peein' in your pants is cool"! thus saving the child from embarrassment. In another scene, Billy calls ex-classmate Danny McGrath (Steve Buscemi) to apologize for picking on him as a kid. After the phone call, Danny crosses Billy off of his master list of "people to kill". Later, Danny comes to Billy's aid.

Overall, this is a fun movie. If you like lighthearted comedy with just a touch of outrageous behavior, then you'll enjoy this breakout Adam Sandler hit. Billy Madison won't be found on anyone's list of Academy Award winning all-time great cinema masterpieces, but it's just as entertaining as any film that would be. That's why I rank it as a must-see movie. Make sure to check it out...

The DVD Report

Mental but funny
This movie was mental. It was inappropriate,but Adam Sandler was great and funny. It was about a slow man named Billy Madison who was rich and was to take over the Madison hotels, but one of his father`s workers or something,I fell asleep probly, said he would take over the Madison hotels, so for Billy to get to take over the hotels he has to do school all over again first grade to 12th grade all over again. Each grade in 2 weeks. It`s really stupid so don`t buy it. I mean if you buy it you`ll return it. Trust me I bought it and my dad and I never watch it. It may be funny, but it`s really mental. You`ll turn you watch it. Please take my advice and do not see it or buy it.

Burning dog poo and the human response
Billy Madison is a spoiled, lazy, uneducated, rich kid slacker who lives entirely off his father's fortune. He spends his day drinking beer, reading nudey magazines, and finishes the day passed out by the pool. When his father realizes that it is time to retire, and Billy is unfit to run the family business, Billy and his father decide that he must go back to school and obtain a real education. Billy assumes it will be no problem, and he can learn everything from first grade through high school over again.Billy discovers that his father bought his passing grades from the time he was in elementary school.Billy encounters many hardships, including trying to win the hand of Veronica, a sexy schoolteacher who thinks her students are more mature than him.In the end, Billy's father must decide who to turn the company over to, Billy, or his Vice President Eric. Billy is forced to participate in an academic decathlon against Eric to decide who gets the company.

"I'm sorry, I can't hear you because of physical abuse to my ear."

Tamra Davis (Half Baked and CB4) directs Billy Madison.She obviously gave Sandler a lot of room to create the character and adlib when necessary.Sandler does a wonderful job with this character, creating a lot of parallel's to his comedy CD's/tapes.Examples of these would include the janitor and sloppy joe lady.Nevertheless, the movie stuck to the premise, provided well-developed characters, had great props, and was very good despite the weak story.The only negative aspects where I feel she let Sandler stretch it a little to far was the dancing scene on the stairs, and the singing portion.Both those scenes were too cheesy.

"Want me to take my shirt off for you?"
"No thank you."
"OK, but remember, the offer is on the table."

Billy Madison is a very funny movie, an Adam Sandler classic.The story is nothing special, but it is presented well.The child actors add a lot to this film.When you compare the roles of the children in Billy Madison, versus the children who acted in Kindergarten Cop as an example, you can see how Schwarzenegger carried his movie, while the children lessened Sandler's burden.In addition, Norm McDonald and Chris Farley were brilliant in their minor roles.

"Everyone in this room is now dumber from having listened to it.I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your sole."
"OK, but a simple wrong would have done just fine."

Billy Madison is a must have for your DVD collection.It launched Adam Sandler into the star he is, and is a college cult classic.It may not be Animal House, and is not Sandler's best, but it is still fantastic.The story is fair, the film was probably low budget, but Sandler delivers, and the launch of Farley's career is worth seeing.I recommend watching before buying, as Sandlers comedy at this point in his career is geared to a younger crowd.

Editorial Review

Before his death, comedian Chris Farley made a pair of surprisingly successful comedies that teamed him with Saturday Night Live colleague David Spade. Their relationship in each film was pretty much the same, but then so was Abbott and Costello's or Laurel and Hardy's (not that Farley and Spade are in their league). In Tommy Boy, Farley plays the ne'er-do-well son of a successful auto parts manufacturer (Brian Dennehy). When Dad drops dead just after marrying a young new wife, it's up to Tommy (aided by sarcastic bean-counter Spade) to rescue the company by taking over for his father. Black Sheep features a slightly different plot: This time, Spade is hired by Farley's brother (Tim Matheson), a candidate for governor, to keep Farley (an accident-prone buffoon) out of sight until after the election. Farley has a likable quality that is exploited by continuous slapstick centered on his clumsiness, both physically and socially. --Marshall Fine ... Read more

BEST MOVIE EVER
this is the best movie u will ever see in ur entire life....

December 17, 1997....The day all meaning...was lost.

157 people couldn't be wrong...
Or could they?I thought this movie would be great.I mean it's got Chris Farley in it and it received five out of five stars on amazon from 157 reviewers. So I thought I'd just buy it.From the very beginning I wasn't impressed.Not that a movie like this intends to be impressive but it should be unique in it humor.Well, I watched the whole thing, thinking it would get better.It didn't really.I got a few chuckles here and there but the humor was simple and extremely predictable. The acting was poor and attempts at being sentimental just weren't believable.A comedy isn't that funny if you can easily predict the punchline and plot throughout the movie.Anyway I give it a couple stars for it's attempts at being a warm-hearted comedy and providing a laugh here and there.If you haven't seen it, I'd recommend renting it before you buy it.

absolutely hilarious
I honestly don't know what would possess anyone to claim that this isn't a great movie! The plotline is somewhat cliched (good vs. evil, fight-against-time sort of thing) but still different (throw in a scheming son-mother/couple and the selling of brake pads). The connection between Richard (Spade) and Tommy (Farley) is top notch. Every joke, routine, monologue, etc. is simply hilarious! I dare you to stay straight-faced!! When I first heard of this movie through previews, I figured it to be a stupid, toilet-humor "comedy" with bad acting. YOU CANT BE MORE WRONG! What else is there to say about this movie? The acting is seamless, the plot and adventures are hilariously done, and the humor is unbeatable. Farley even exposes a bit of emotion (albeit tied with a little humor), such as when he's on the sailboat and he's "talking" with his father. Not to mention the supporting cast (Dan Aykroyd, Rob Lowe, Bo Derek, Julie Warner)!
Here are my favorite parts:

1. When Tommy is trying to sell "Ted" his brake pads instead of another companies...his mannerisms are so unorthodox!! "Next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser and your daughter's knocked up, I seen it a hundred times."

2. The part where Richard's god-awful toupee gets blown back by a fan. every time it kills me!

3. When Tommy has on Richard's jacket and is singing "Fat guy in a little coat!"

4. Richard: "Mommy, mommy, the rhino's getting too close to the car!"

5. The entire scene of when the "dead" deer completely dismantles Richard's car.

6. Tommy: "You know where the weight room is? I'll check it out"

7. When Tommy and Richard are listening to the Karen Carpenter song and getting emotional.

go rent this movie and you won't be disappointed! ... Read more

Editorial Review

The team behind Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary--two really stupid, gross-out films that worked and were quite funny--also made this really stupid, gross-out comedy that doesn't work and isn't funny at all. Woody Harrelson stars as a former bowling phenomenon with a hook for a hand, and Randy Quaid is an Amish farmer with a hidden talent for pins. The two join forces and get a sexy business partner (Vanessa Angel), and the film starts looking more and more like a jokey variation of The Color of Money. The Color of Money, however, didn't feature jokes about having oral sex with a hideous landlady or defecating in a sink or dragging disgusting stuff out of one's teeth with a length of floss. Bill Murray provides some much-needed relief as Harrelson's ex-partner turned rival. How come this stuff is obnoxious while the equally perverse punch lines of There's Something About Mary are a riot? It's a great mystery, all right, but there it is. --Tom Keogh ... Read more

ONE OF THE BEST COMEDIES EVER MADE IN HISTORY !!!!!!!!!
I sae this one when I was six years old. Of cours I didn't understand then, but I laughed my ass off. Now I rented it two days before Christmas last year and I understood more and laughed even harder than the last time I've seen wich was seven years ago. I love this one. I'm not gonna tell you the plot about this one either, but I strongly suggest you watch this one right now. This is the best FARRELY'S BROTHER movie along with "There's Something About Mary". I love this two. I'm not that much of a "Dumb And Dumber" fan.

I think you should purchase or rent this one. It is simply one of the best comedies of the century and the best perfomance by Woody Harelson. I think I am gonna watch it again right now. If you want to do the same, then I'm with you.

the comnmentary does NOT bowl you over

OK, i really like the movies, great dumb comedies are a fun "turn off your mind" thing for me but im writing this because someone needs to tell the Farelly brothers that their commentary tracks are awfull! They spend the whole time naming all their friends they put in the movie....i mean....THE WHOLE TIME!! Apparently they put all their friends in everyone of their movies (they did the same thing in "...Mary") But why do we the viewers have to hear them rattle off their names the whole time, "there's Bill Johnson a lawyer from Duluth, and that's Bill Anderson our High School gym teacher..." it's non-stop! (im sure their friends appreciate it so why not make two versions of the dvd, one for your frineds and one for the rest of us where you discuss the film...) The movie gets four stars and minus 1 star for the commentary, oh yeah, they threw in a couple deleted scenes in the film which was cool, you can tell they're deleted because it's the only time the brothers stop name-dropping their buddies

Funny movie
This movie is worth seeing. It has an uplifting plot with a lot of humor. What I find ridiculous in some of these reviews is how people can say the humor is disgusting and then say, "but I love Dumb and Dumber, South Park". Huh? Since when is comedy sanitized? Not everyone's a fan of the America's Funniest Videos type of sappy comedy. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Anyone who's watched just about any teenage film knows that the greatest evil in this world isn't chemical warfare, ethnic cleansing, or even the nuclear bomb. The worst crime known to man? Why, virginity, of course. As we've learned from countless films--from Summer of '42 to Risky Business--virginity is a criminal burden that one must shed oneself of as quickly as possible. And while many of these films have given the topic a bad name, American Pie quietly sweeps in and gives sex some of its dignity back. Dignity, you may say? How can a film that highlights intercourse with fruit pies, premature ejaculation broadcasted across the Internet, and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as Porky's and Losin' It? The plot may be typical, with four high school friends swearing to "score" by prom, yet the film rises above the muck with its superior cast, successful and sweet humor, and some actually rather retro values about the meaning and importance of sex. Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Eddie Kaye Thomas make up the odd quartet of pals determined to woo, lie, and beg their way to manhood. The young women they pursue are wary girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid), choir girl Heather (Mena Suvari), band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and just about any other female who is willing and able. Natasha Lyonne as Jessica, playing a similar role as in Slums of Beverly Hills, is the general adviser to the crowd (when Vicky tells her "I want it to be the right time, the right place," Jessica responds, "It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex").The comedic timing hits the mark--especially in the deliberately awkward scenes between Jim (Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy). And, of course, lessons are learned in this genuinely funny film, which will probably please the adult crowd even more than it will the teenage one.--Jenny Brown ... Read more

A Great Slice of a Comedy...
This movie was a funny laugh out loud sleeper hit with an almost unknown cast this movie made them stars. American Pie has some of the most Hilarous moments I have ever seen on film. You actually find yourself feeling embarssed when you watch the mishaps that happen to the lead character Jim and his buddies. This movie is about four friends who are in their senior year of high school... Jim ( biggs) is thoroughly obsessed with sex, a fact of which his parents discover when they catch him jacking off with a gym sock while watching scrambled pay-per-view porn. Jim's buddies Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Oz (Chris Klein) are also aching to be devirginized, so they all make a pledge a pact if you will they will have sex with a woman in the three weeks before senior prom or die trying. Kevin appears to be to have the luck, since he already has a girlfriend, Vicky (Tara Reid),But do they want the same thing kevin wants to get it on vicky wants i love you yous. Oz is a good-looking jock who is a nice guy he has his heart set on a nice girl, Heather (Mena Suvari), who does not seem the type to rush into the things which may put a break on Oz's plan. Finch has no immediate prospects, he is the nerd of the group but soon a rumor is being told about finch and suddenly every girl wants to know if those rumors about him are true. But Jim is a truly hopeless case he falls for a beautiful exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) he tries to seduce Nadia but ends up making a complete fool out of himself. So he ends up going to the prom with Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), an annoyingly chatty band geek who doesn't stop talking about band camp. But she rocks Jims world with a story of her flute and shows him you can't judge by a book by it's cover. This movie is a must for any comedy fan.It also has the most funny line by Alyson Hannigan. This movie didn't win any oscars its lude and crude but it's a laugh out loud comedy. But what sets this movie apart from all the lude and crude sex comedies of the past is that oddly enough American pie is a sex comedy with a heart. The Outtakes on the Dvd is funny as hell.***** five stars and two thumbs up.

One of the top comedies of its decade!
Nominated for zero Academy Awards, American Pie is a lewd, crude teenage comedy that's probably the funniest movie of 1999. In the tradition of Animal House, Fast Times At Ridgemont High, and other such comedies, the film makes its mark as one of the better written screenplays in the genre. The clever one-liners and memorable scenes are so abundant that few seconds of the film lack one or the other. If you can't laugh at American Pie, then you've got serious problems. Along with Office Space and There's Something About Mary, it's one of the best comedies of its time...

Jason Biggs plays the role of Jim Levenstein a normal high school student in American suburbia. Together with his friends Chris 'Oz' Ostreicher (Chris Klein), Kevin Myers (Thomas Ian Nicholas), and Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), he makes a pact to lose his virginity by prom night. Seeing that it's senior year, the task calls for immediate attention, and the four friends find that it's not as easy as they had originally planned.

Kevin's task seems to be the easiest as he is involved with long-time girlfriend Vicky Lathum (Tara Reid). Meanwhile, Chris joins the chorus (discovering he has an unknown talent off the lacrosse field) where he falls for Heather (Mena Suvari) who initially wants nothing to do with him. Finch relies on self-perpetuated rumors to make his personal stock rise, while Jim comes close to doing the deed with the beautiful foreign exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). When Nadia is sent home, Jim's hopes rest on band camp survivor Michelle Flaherty (Alyson Hannigan). As prom night closes in, each must determine his own fate, while wondering what the final outcome was for his friend...

In American Pie, Eugene Levy steals the show as Jim's father. His monotone, straight-forward attempts to be hip and to befriend his son are gut-busting in nature. His feeble attempts to explain sex and his encounter with Jim and the pie in the kitchen are some of the funniest scenes in the movie. That's saying a lot, because American Pie is a hilarious movie with lots of buzz words like "M.I.L.F." and quirky characters like Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott). That said, only a certain age demographic will find American Pie to be among their film favorites.

Scenes such as the Internet cam with Jim and Nadia will be forever famous, and the movie lacks any sort of a slowdown. From beginning to end, the laughs are truly non-stop. Following its release, American Pie became an instant cult classic, influencing its target generation and pioneering the depths of the young adult vocabulary. Because of its utterly hilarious scenes and prominent role in the teenage comedy genre, American Pie ranks as a definite must-see movie...

The DVD Report

This Isn't Your Mom's Apple Pie
At a time when teen comedies are a largely hit or miss affair ("Mean Girls" was the only really good recent one), "American Pie" is perhaps the only film of this genre, along with its two sequels, that can remain consistantly hilarious with each viewing (along with "Old School" and "Road Trip").

The first "American Pie" tells the story of a bunch of high schoolers and their sexual misadventures. At the heart of this hormone induced madness is Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs), a curious young man who has a thing or two to learn about the birds and the bees. His easygoing and overbearing father (Eugene Levy, who steals the show) doesn't do much to help, nor do his friends Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Kevin (Eddie Kaye Thomas) or big jerk Stifler (Sean William Scott).
Eventually, Jim learns a thing or two and ends up with band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan).

Buoyed by a witty script courtesy of Adam Herz and a strong supporting cast that includes Tara Ried, Mena Suvar and Natasha Lyonne, "American Pie" may well be remembered for spawning some of the funniest moments in comedy history. From the tongue tornado to Finch's bathroom break to the Nadia internet scene to the pale ale to the classic pie sex, it will be difficult to pick the best part since there are so many.

My advice is that if you really want to enjoy a good laugh, you must go and pick up "American Pie" (and its sequels, but a little later on). You will not disappointed. ... Read more

Editorial Review

To the horror of prudes everywhere, American Pie 2 is even funnier than its popular predecessor, pushing the R rating with such unabashed ribaldry that you'll either be appalled or surprised by its defiant celebration of the young-adult male libido. Females will be equally shocked or delighted, because like American Pie this appealing, character-based comedy puts the women in control while offering a front-row view of horny guys in all their dubious glory. Which is to say, American Pie is mostly about sex--or, to be more specific, breasts, genitalia, "potential" lesbianism, blue silicone sex toys, crude methods of seduction, "the rule of three" (just watch the movie), a shower of "champagne," phone sex, tantric sex, and, oh yeah... superglue.

In the case of college freshman Jim (Jason Biggs), performance anxiety plagues his upcoming reunion with sexy Czech exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), but his buddies from American Pie have a solution: rent a Lake Michigan beach house for the summer, throw wild parties to lure the local "hotties," and score big-time. Beach Party this ain't: blessed with a complete cast reunion from AP1 (including Eugene Levy as Jim's dad), this sequel is anything but innocent, and with the exception of drugs (which are conspicuously absent), pretty much anything goes. The gags are almost nonstop, and director J.B. Rogers (recovering from his debut debacle Say It Isn't So) handles them with laudable precision, allowing his young cast (particularly Biggs, who epitomizes comedic good sportsmanship) to run with lines that most people wouldn't dare utter aloud. The result is a liberating and eminently good-natured comedy that needn't apologize for its one-track mind. --Jeff Shannon ... Read more

The Laughs Keep On Coming
There is no drop - off in laughs from the first "American Pie" to its 2001 sequel. In fact, there are some scenes when it is even funnier, one of which I will mention later.

Jim (Jason Biggs) has learned some stuff over the last two years, and now is anxious for more. The plan: him, Stifler (Sean William Scott), Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Kevin (Eddie Kaye Thomas) will rent a summer house in Lake Michigan and invite some of the hottest babes in town over for some fun. Sounds like the perfect plan. However, in "American Pie" tradition, things go hilariously wrong, the highlight being when Jim glues himself to himself (I can't go into details at risk of getting kicked off the site).

The best thing about this sequel is that the entire cast from the first one is back. That means Alyson Hannigan (band geek Michelle, who is now Jim's girlfriend), Tara Reid (Vicky), Natash Lyonne (Jessica), the guy who plays the Sherminator, Stifler's mom, Eugene Levy (Jim's dad) and Mena Suvari (Heather) are all along for ride number two.

If you've already seen the first "American Pie" and liked it, then you'll enjoy this one as well (If you haven't seen the first one, see it before part two). Purchase it today.

Better than the other two!
I enjoyed the first American Pie a lot when it first came outbut when I saw this one it's definetly better than the first one. I thought American Wedding was stupid it wasn't really that good but American Pie 2 is the best of the series in my opinion.

"The continuing bawdy adventures of a group of friends reuniting after their first year of college."

James B. Rogers, who has worked as a Second Unit Director or Assistant Director on The Puppet Masters, Poison Ivy, 3 Ninja's, Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, Beverly Hills Ninja, There's Something About Mary, American Pie, and Me, Myself & Irene, takes the lead director role for American Pie 2.Rogers does a fabulous job in my opinion.American Pie 2 does not have the same depth in story as the original, however, like most comedy sequels, it focuses more on the characters (see Meet the Fockers).

Instead of focusing on the story, American Pie 2 in focusing on the characters ends up being funnier then the original.I will not say I enjoyed it more then the original, I would say they are equally as good.A key aspect to this movie is the return of all the characters.Even the characters with bit parts reappear in the sequel.Also the small story lines continue from one movie to the other.

I definitely liked how some characters stories just continued where they left off in the original, while other characters from the first film have to move on in their lives to new things and interest due to how the first movie ended.I think Rogers did a very good job of making this movie his own, while continuing the story of the characters.

I would strongly recommend viewing this movie if you liked the first one.If you liked the first, and have not seen this one, I can say you should feel confident buying this film even if you have not seen American Pie 2.If you do not know if you like this series, I would say watch the original first, as this brand of comedy is not for everyone.

Editorial Review

When three thirtysomething friends with woman troubles (Luke Wilson,Will Ferrell, and Vince Vaughn) decide to form a fraternity, it's supposedly tosave Wilson from losing his house, which the nearby college is trying to claimfor academic purposes. But really, Ferrell and Vaughn are desperate to return tothe reckless, feckless days of beer bongs and hot chicks, and they drag Wilsonalong with them as they throw themselves into gathering frat pledges of allages. Old School could have been just another string of bad jokes hangingon a flimsy plot, but the script and the cast have a jovial energy and justenough grounding in reality--at least, up until the obligatory beat-the-systemending, but by that point you'll forgive the excesses of this silly, cheerful, and frequentlyfunny movie. Featuring Jeremy Piven and Juliette Lewis, with cameos by SnoopDog, Andy Dick, and others. --Bret Fetzer ... Read more

soooooooooooooo funny!!

The wedding singer in it rules lol

The mascot engulfed in flames is worth the whole film...
One of the funniest movies of 2003, Old School is silver screen gold for anyone who lived the life of a college party animal or once inhabited the halls of a beloved fraternity house. In the spirit of Animal House and PCU, Old School brings together a strange amalgam of immature males who wreck havoc on their college campus through wild parties, outrageous pranks, and outright criminal activities. Starring Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Farrell (of Saturday Night Live fame), Old School reads like a great SNL skit. You'll laugh yourself silly over this one.

When Mitch Martin (Luke Wilson) returns home early from a business seminar at his extraordinarily boring job, he finds his girlfriend cheating on him. They break up, and he's forced to move out. Moving into an off-campus dwelling at his old school, Mitch's friends Frank Ricard (Will Farrell) and Bernard "Beanie" Campbell (Vince Vaughn) reminisce about the glory of their fraternity days. The days of all fun and no work... Frank gets married, despite Beanie's attempts to talk him out of it at the altar (during the ceremony), but he quickly grows despondent and longs to enjoy the freedom of his youth once again. Meanwhile, Beanie is a bona fide family man with a successful business, but he too would like to relive the fun of their fraternity days.

Together, the three men decide to turn Mitch's house into a fraternity. They recruit a series of misfit students from around campus - nerds, social rejects, homeless men, and ninety-year-old womanizers. The hazing rituals are beyond description, and the parties are ridiculously outlandish and hilarious. All is going well (for everyone but Frank whose wife catches him running down main street naked) until Dean of Student Affairs Gordon Pritchard (Jeremy Piven), a former estranged classmate of the three men, decides to crack down on the fraternity. When he does, the fraternity must pass a series of tests and obstacles in order to retain their charter (and this, the climatic high-point of the film, is also the funniest of all).

Fun from beginning to end, Old School will not win any awards for dramatic scenes or cinematography. But it will win a lot of points as an outright hilarious comedy. If you haven't seen this film, then you really don't know what you're missing. Old School is a classic cult comedy fulfilling the dreams of countless former college fraternity members who ache to relive the greatest party days of their lives. Because it's so funny, Old School is a definite must-see film. Miss it at your own risk...

The DVD Report

I wish I could choose 0
I have yet to understand why so many people find this film amusing. Some have said that it was a modern day Animal House, and while I find Animal House uninteresting I think that is a serious dis to Animal House. I don't know it just seems that this movie continuously tries to be funny way to hard and ends up falling into a pile of its own crummy jokes. This movie is like a stitched together hybrid of every other "guy" film out there. I say guy film meaning, "hey lets put some girls chest on the screen and it'll be an instant hit." Well atleast its seems to have a lot of special features, so when you get tired of the film you can watch those instead. This is probably the only bad rating on here for this film but man, I've watched it once and that was more than enough. ... Read more

Editorial Review

The producers of the American Pie movies pushed their luck with a third slice of their lucrative raunchy comedy franchise, and American Wedding cooked up surprisingly well. It's the sourest serving of Pie, with half of the original cast missing, and there's something undeniably desperate about comedic highlights (involving dog poop, a lusty old lady, two strippers to offset the absence of Shannon Elizabeth, and the ill-advised use of a trimming razor) that arise more from obligation than inspiration, on the assumption that another penile mishap is guaranteed to please. And yet, that's just what this movie does for devoted Pie-munchers: It gives 'em what they want, especially when the notorious Stifler (Seann William Scott) nearly ruins the frantic nuptials of Jim (Jason Biggs) and his band-camping sweetheart Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). Eugene Levy and Eddie Kaye Thomas also return for some reliable comic relief, but the one who's laughing most is three-time Pie writer Adam Herz--laughing loudly and often, all the way to the bank. --Jeff Shannon ...

Hey Finch, what's the capitol of Thailand?
Bangkok!!!

Jim proposes to Michelle, in a manner in which only he can, and she accepts. Now their families are looking forward to finally meeting each other. Jim's friends, Kevin and Finch, agree to help Jim give Michelle the wedding of her dreams. They do their best to keep Stifler from finding out, but he does, and his focus becomes the bachelor party and boom booming with the brides' maids. However, Jim is more concerned about whether or not Michelle's parents will accept him, and can he finally learn to dance prior to the reception.Will Stifler ruin the wedding?Will Michelle get the wedding of her dreams?

"Oh Jim, you need to stop masturbating.It's melting your brain."

Jesse Dylan (How High) directs American Wedding.The final chapter, we hope, of the American Pie series, which is by far the worst.This is not based solely on the fact the majority of the cast does not appearing in the film.Mainly because the films story line is atrocious.The film is very average, something I would not have said about the previous two.When I first saw the film at the theatre I thought to myself, "is this Stifler the movie?"

"F'n right doggie, that is good cake."

American Wedding lacked the depth in terms of story of the first two films.There are still plenty of funny and awkward situations.There are also several clever lines by Stifler, and the interaction between Stifler and Finch remains funny.I guess the M.I.L.F joke never gets old?Actually, I thought it was old after the first film.Nevertheless, the character development was poor, no updates on the life of any characters really other then where they are at now, no reference to why.There is also no reference to the characters that were not in the film.Did I mention the M.I.L.F joke is old?

"Polish my n_ts and serve me a milk shake."

Overall the film was very average.There are still a few funny parts.You still enjoy the characters; however, that feeling is based entirely on the previous films.The film is a must have only to complete the trilogy, and not because it is a great film.The film is watchable, entertaining, but you will probably only watch it once.It is a film you should watch prior to purchasing.

"Droppings from the gods."

Grade: C

The trilogy ends in style
American Wedding is a hilarious movie, and offers a fun conclusion to the American Pie series. It ranks pretty close to the first one, and is much better than the second one, which was decent but felt really rehashed.

The cast has been slimmed down, dropping the characters that really didn't do much in number two. Newcomer January Jones fits in well as Alyson Hannigan's sister, and Eric Allen Kramer is hilarious as "Bear." The requisite gross-out gags from the first two movies have returned, as well as the obligatory nudity scene halfway in the flick, this time in the form of strippers at a bachelor party. However, American Wedding also manages some inspired non-gross jokes, such as a dance off where Seann William Scott gets to cut loose. There is also a nice role-reversal between Scott and Eddie Kaye Thomas that ends in some subtle character development for Stifler. Overall, these are the jokes that really carry the movie, and it might've been nice to see them rely less on gross-out humour this time around.

The dvd comes with some decent bonus features, including commentary, deleted scenes, outtakes, etc. If you can stand the gross humour the series is known for, American Wedding is worth viewing.

A complete waste of time and tape. This deserves 0 stars.
This movie (and I am using the word 'movie' in the loosest possible sense thereof) is gross and the humour is utterly vapid. It's not that I don't appreciate explicit sexual acts or references. I love tastefully done erotica or coming of age films. But the characters in this movie have no depth and are one-dimensional caricatures/clowns instead of actual persons. They don't seem to develop or grow. They're just there to do the stupidest things ever to grace humanity. I can see how the average fat stupid lazy uneducated American might enjoy this movie, but I think I might have lost a dozen braincells while watching 15 minutes of this tripe. I also might've lost respect for the actors in this film. ... Read more
