I agree. I don't mind the DTV movies, but if they're going to run with the "...presents" marketing, I wish they'd take more of a National Lampoon's route and realize that not every lead role needs to somehow relate back to the original films. Give the characters a name other than Stifler, and I think people would be a bit more receptive.

Hughes's downfall as a writer began with

Then Dutch, Career Oppurtunities, Beethoven, the man only had so much magic in him.

I did think Christmas Vacation was pretty mediocre after like 10 years of people telling me it was a holiday classic. Not bad, but mediocre. The original Vacation is light years better and frankly, Van Wilder is a giant steaming pile of crap. Loaded Weapon was okay.

Cinematical just broke the news that Beta House will be a direct sequel to The Naked Mile.

Dr. Henry Jones, Jr.

Will the midget fraternity return?

Original Desmond

Yes the connection to the original movie is becoming more and more distant. There is your token Stifler but as a teen sex comedy, this one is pretty good. Plenty of gratituous nudity, plenty of hotties and a fun storyline.

"American Pie" is the new "National Lampoon's..."

Gizmo

Straight to DVD?

Original Desmond

yep straight to dvd, and i forgot the obligatory appearance by Eugene Levy

zombiezilla

Wow, Levy's really become the big whore of these pics, hasn't he?!?

Mopower

If I was him I'd be doing it too. It's not like it's hard work.

bobert3

Can't they just leave this franchise alone? The movies just keep getting worst and worst.

...or worse and worse...

Seantn

Yeah, I wish Levy would stick to making original films, like "The Man". No more stupid American Pie sequels.

Brack

@ "The Man"

Original Desmond

this one is better than the last two imho

I actually liked the Naked Mile. It was exactly what it should be.

Gunde

No he's just working.

jjcool

Wow. that shit is expensive at Amazon. I really liked band camp and naked mile, so I might pick this up at some point. But not for 22.99. Where do they get off charging 29.99 list for this?

DJariya

I would consider getting Band Camp, Naked Mile and Beta House only if the price dropped well below $10 per disc.

Fok

Why couldn't they just leave it at the first 3 movies, they're really fucking the whole thing up

Brack

Because it's easy money?

Charlie Goose

I haven't seen any since Wedding, how does the Levy character fit in now that his son is long gone?

DJariya

In Band Camp, Levy was a camp counselor. He made a brief reference to Jim and his wife and new baby.

I haven't seen the others yet.

I think it's funny they make these direct-to-video sequels without any of the original cast (save Eugene Levy, whose appearance in these doesn't even make sense from a story perspective) yet half the cast isn't doing anything notable right now anyway and are appearing in other direct-to-dvd movies. Is Thomas Ian Nicholas really that busy?
