I liked the original 3 that were made, I admit. I really enjoyed the first one the most because at the time it was kind of a raunchy fun "animal house" clone that had some heart and some good laughs.

The second and third were retreads but I liked the characters.

This looks awful. I'm not counting the really awful off-shoots that went STV but this looks more on par with those than the original films.

I may still go see it though.

I would rather listen to an entire pitbull album twice than see this. The first and second ones were legit though. Chris klein is and was an abomination in every movie. The drugged out red head is still somehow alive and in this.

well...i just saw it this afternoon.

i must say--i was touched. it was funny, impressively balancing raunch with sweetness and that's what i've always admired about these films. they're sweet and sick at the same time and seem to be able to handle both well.

there are some times where the film drags...a few too many shenanigans. but plenty of hot chicks to keep the interest up and these characters are always likeable.

except chris klein. he's easily the weakest link throughout. the guy's just not a good actor. you never get a good read on him. he's like keanu reeves in a way but keanu has a way with manipulating you and klein's nowhere near that level. they never seem to know what to do with his character, either. he's very inconsistent.

the best scenes, again, are with jim and his dad. levy brings such an earnest performance it's hard not to like him. and jason biggs can still play big heart geek really well.

it's not a masterpiece but it keeps with the tradition the series began with and holds together. the music really brings back memories, even though i was 2 years graduated by the time the first one was released. kinda made me miss not having a reunion.

there are plenty of big laughs and endearing moments to make this worth seeing if you were a fan of the first three *real* pie movies.

:D :D :D out of :D :D :D :D

The best part of the movie was Jim's neighbor. :shock: :shock: :D I said the same thing after seeing it Friday night with the wife. I thought it was funny and had a heart to it at the same time which doesn't really ever happen anymore. I agree about Chris Kline. Also there is no way anyone could ever think Mena Survi is good looking. She looks like a rat.

Definitely worth the price of admission. That neighbor's body...wow. Deer Park's half price Tuesdays ($5.50) puts a new perspective on seeing movies.

What ever happened to Shannon Elizabeth. After the first one, I thought she was destined for big things. Didnt she marry a couple of losers or something? Tommy Lee not available?

This is a wait-for-HBO for me. I'll let you know in a year or so.

It was good

I liked how they used all the songs from the previous films when in correlation with the storyline they represented


The whole Kris Cline Menu Sevari thing was stupid.


Ill disagree on Eugene Levy. Thought he was alright, but I always considered him the best parts of these movies and in this one he was just ok.
