American Pie Presents: The Book of Love [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Did they run out of storylines? This is basically a poor attempt to remake the first American Pie. 
2009-12-21 - We got in a few of these at the video store, and although they are not suppose to be released until Dec. 22. I took a peak anyways. What a waste of time -- This was a terrible movie!
The storyline is almost identical to the 1st "American Pie". 3 Guys make a pack to lose their virginity. Although similar, there is one major difference in this film when compared to the original. This time the Sex Bible (originally shown in "American Pie 1") is the central part the storyline. Yes the same book that Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) discovers in the Great Falls high school library and uses to sexually please Vicky (Tara Reid) in her bedroom. The book has been partially destroyed in a flood (due to fire sprinklers being set off after a small fire.) Now the 3 main characters (of this film) are on a mission to restore the book and lose their virginity at the same time.
There are lots of familiar scenes in this film that are almost identical to the original "American Pie" including several references to sex with Food items, animals, and household appliances. Also there are several scenes where the main character's sex life is exposed on the internet (sound familiar?). Furthermore, we have another Stiffler who is oddly similar to the original character created by Seann William Scott but not portrayed as well. And if that is not enough, the film also includes a foreign exchange student (Nadia's cousin) although her part is small and unclear as to what she actually adds to the storyline.
Basically if You have seen the original "American Pie", and maybe "Hot Dog... The Movie" (due to some similar ski lodge scenes) then you have seen this movie. Wish I could give a better review to this one, but it was just not that great of a Pie movie (unlike the last few released.) Maybe they should have stayed within the newer storyline they created with "American Pie presents The Naked Mile", and "American Pie presents Beta House". At least these two movies were actually worth watching more then once.
The only slightly interesting aspect of this movie is the assorted guest appearances by former child stars, rock stars, and Classic Television stars. Some of those include Dustin Diamond (Skreech), C. Thomas Howell, Christopher Knight (Peter Brady), Tim Matheson, Bret Michaels (Poison), Kevin Federline (Britney Spears Ex-husband), Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons), Steve Railsback, and a few others. Maybe this just shows how bad this movie is considering they could not even hire a decent cast other than Eugene Levy (in all American Pie Films) and Rosanna Arquette.
Overall unless you are just interested in obtaining this dvd to complete your collection, I think I would stay away from this film.
More Raunchy fun 
2009-12-01 - This movie lives up to all the previous movies in the series, with all the sex jokes, and enough T&A to satisfy all the horn dogs out there. If you are watching this movie for all the raunchy gags and jokes, you will love this movie. If you watch if for "characters that are fun to watch," like a previous reviewer said, you might have a slightly different opinion. But, hey, who watches an American Pie movie for characters who are fun to watch. This movie is as much fun to watch as all the rest, so pick it up, and enjoy.
Disappointing 
2009-11-30 - Despite the fact that we are now on the 7th American Pie film, there is still a certain standard that needs to be lived up to. While these films have not been very good since the first trilogy, they have still managed to be juvenile and raunchy fun. Book of Love managed to be juvenile and raunchy, but not fun or good. In the Delta House and Naked Mile, we were left with characters that were fun to watch and the stunts that occurred left for an entertaining movie. Instead, I cringed throughout the newest installment with how unfunny the jokes were and how often I had seen them before. While these films are supposed to be fun and crazy, I expect them to be entertaining also. This wound up easily being the worst one in this series, which was disappointing, as Delta House was the best movie since the first three.
Stiffler and the British girl were awful characters also.
The best one since the first American Pie 
2009-11-06 - The goal in creating yet another American Pie movie was to bring back the heart and emotion of the original movies. Yes, the comedy is outrageous and sometimes totally shocking, but what separates Book of Love from the more recent entries in the franchise is that you actually care about these characters. The fans will be pleasantly surprised at how good this movie actually is.
