audience reaction: The audience liked it. It didn't get a "Hands Clapper" ending, though.
recommendation: I really didn't like it that much. I guess that the franchise's appeal waned on me a bit. But fans of the AMERICAN PIE franchise should like it.
spoiler alert! In the opening scene, Michelle's ( Alyson Hannigan ) bra was on the bedroom floor. But, when she took-off her shirt, she was wearing the same bra. The Levensteins' house is not the original one in Long Beach, CA. Actually, the whole of East Great Falls, Michigan, was filmed at some places in Georgia this time around, instead of in Southern California. ( For economic reasons, i.e. Tax Incentives. ) This is yet another Hollywood movie in which "the black man" is made effeminate. ( This seems to be one of two common trends running through Hollywood movies, the other one being that "the black man" is always the first to die in a horror/violent movie. ) What Stifler did to his female co-workers could easily get him fired in the real world. It's against the law to operate a boat or a jet-ski where people are swimming! As a concerned and responsible adult, why didn't Jim turn the Mini Cooper around so that he could retrieve Kara's ( Ali Cobrin ) dress? At her 18th birthday party, all the other girls had bikinis on but Kara didn't--doesn't make sense to me at all! When she got dropped on the ground, she didn't utter a sound at all--not in keeping with plain and simple logic. I don't see how Kara's dad failed to notice that the doll moved just before he grabbed it. Kevin ( Thomas Ian Nicholas ) said that he and Vicky ( Tara Reid ) were both completely naked, but they weren't. Spilled hot coffee doesn't create that kind of a scar/blister.
fyi: One day a few years ago, at Hector's place in Oakland, CA, I had to go out to my car to get something. That was when I noticed that in a car parked directly across the street from my car, a black man seating in the driver's seat was getting a blowjob from a black prostitute whose head was bobbing up and down, in and out of view, in broad daylight. The man was staring directly ahead and didn't notice me there.
What should I do, I asked myself. Oh, heck, I need to get something from my car and it can't wait!
I walked to my car, opened my car's driver's side door and got what I needed without looking at the spectacle happening behind me. Then, I slammed my car door hard! I don't think that the "john" got his money's worth. Talk about Coitus Interruptus--or should that have been: Fellatio Interrupt-You. Ha, ha, ha--snort!
word of advice: Times change. Move on.
tidbits: On my way to work today, Sunday, at around 10:45 a.m., I got a phone call from my brother on my cellphone. I was waiting for the green light at the stoplight on the intersection of Sereno Drive and Tuolumne Street when he called. I answered his call. He wanted to know if I would like to spend Easter at his place where he was having a barbecue. I told him that I was in my car and on my way to work. That was when the light turned green. He told me that I could still show-up after work since it was just a 15-minute drive away on the freeway.
By then, my car and all the other cars were moving up the incline. And I was doing a 20-mph speed on a 35-mph street because I was still on first gear and my brother wouldn't hang-up his 'phone. A big pick-up truck was tail-gating my small Hyundai Accent and looked ready to rear-end my car's butt! With a sense of urgency, I told my brother that I had to shift gear and I dropped my cellphone so I could negotiate the slight curve on the incline as I shifted. Whew, that was a close call!
I clocked-out at 7:45 p.m. ( 15 minutes early--I let my supervisor know the reason why ) so that I could be at my brother's barbecue.
When I got there, I soon found out that there was not that much rice left to go around because my nephew had been pigging-out for about an hour and pretty much had all the rice to himself. The dinner wasn't that enjoyable since the rest of us had to make-do with what little rice was left to pass around!
I was just at my brother's place for a little over an hour because it was a Sunday and everybody had to go to work in the morning of the next day. So, it worked out fine for me because it meant that I could go see this movie before heading on home.
And that was exactly what I did!
2nd tidbits: I went to see this a second time before going to work because one of my co-workers said that the Vallejo audience that he was with last Friday really enjoyed this movie. And I wanted to see how right he was. But, as it turned out, the audience reaction this time was pretty much the same as that of the Fairfield audience's reaction. I think that the reason for the difference in reaction between my co-worker's audience and those of mine was that his audience was mostly young adults and mine were mostly older ones.
