It's back for the 10th anniversary

'American Pie Presents: The Book of Love' is the seventh movie in the American Pie series, and coincidentally it came out a decade after the first. Being the 10th anniversary and all, i didn't expect anything special or surprising, i only hoped for a repetition of the entertainment and fun provided in the sixth movie 'American Pie Presents Beta House'. Unfortunately that didn't really happen as this movie is arguably the worst of the whole American Pie series, the argument includes the 'American Pie Presents Band Camp' of course.

The start of this movie is pretty awful, acting is terrible (somewhat expected), but i also expected characters that are more likable. The lead (male) characters in this movie are just not good enough in terms of acting or likability, which makes the casting pretty bad aspect of this whole movie, although the female part of the cast is better, they're still somewhat below the level of girls in the previous sequels (including the 'AP: Band Camp'!). But as we all know, there is always a bright spark in the cast list of these latest American Pie movies that really need it, that would be no one else but Eugene Levy (Mr. Levenstein) of course! In each scene that he's in he (unsurprisingly) steals the show.

The script made for this movie is actually okay, it opens up the space for many entertaining and funny scenes, but that space wasn't nearly as fulfilled as it should've been. There isn't enough humor, the ever-present Stifler/Stifmeister is worse than ever in this movie, his character wasn't nearly enough used as it was in previous movies, although the actor that was given the role (John Patrick Jordan) just isn't cut out for it, it takes much more to be a Stifler in American Pie series than you would think! And of course there's a theme always present in AP movies, T (tits) and A (ass). T and A ratio is very unbalanced, there was much T and not nearly enough A, and it was used in ways that aren't nearly as funny as they are in movies like 'Superbad' or first three movies of American Pie series, i don't get the idea to use so much explicit nudity only to get stronger "R" rating, there are other movies for that kind of thing people...

To conclude, if you're a fan of AP movies, you should watch this movie too. If you saw all six previous movies but you're not really into this series to call yourself a fan (like me), then you should think twice before watching this, it might aggravate your opinion about the whole serial in general.
