After producing a Presents' movie a year under the American Pie franchise name from 2005-2007, they finally got rid of writer Erik Lindsay (writer on the last two) and took a year sabbatical in 2008. Unfortunately also the new man with the pen sucks, but that's not a huge surprise looking at this franchise's fall.
We're back in the old East Great Falls High School and once again the 'Book of Love' sees the light of day. Unlike the last couple of movies, they've this time managed to get in some girls more than able to blow away those seen in the rest of the Presents' series so far. American Pie Presents: The Book of Love brings us among others Beth Behrs, Louisa Lytton, Jennifer Holland, Melanie Papalia, Cindy Busby and Naomi Hewer. It might not match up to Mena Suvari, Alyson Hannigan, Shannon Elizabeth, Tara Reid, Natasha Lyonne, Jennifer Coolidge and the rest, but it's still a damn good line-up of girls compared to the downfall of the latst movies in this franchise.
Sadly the boys aren't close to those in the originals, the story is so weak it's painful to watch and the entire movie could probably be predicted from the first five minutes of footage. The only positive in addition to the girl qualities, is the fact the new 'Stifler' seemed kind of interesting. To bad 'Scott Stifler' doesn't get to be part of the story, but hi. That's part of making sure the movie sucks. A for effort to those responsible for the female casting in this one, but the rest of it was so bad that alone couldn't save this.
