American Pie: The Naked Mile
This is flat out my favorite of the American Pie movies. The characters are not as memorable as the original Stifler or the MILF but Eugene Levy graciously lent his talent for about four scenes.
In this installment Eric, the cousin of the original Stifler, is a virgin and a black mark on the Stifler name. His girlfriend a attractive but completely anorexic girl isn't ready after two years and Stifler the cousin is fine with that except that all his friend cajole him, in fact they call him by his first name instead of giving him his Stifler legacy nickname. The virgin girlfriend gives Eric a "Guilt Free Pass" for the weekend and that is where much of the movies issues lie.
Erics buddies decide to go to a nearby university to witness The Naked Mile, which is what it is, and visit the younger brother of the Original Stifler, (he was a character in the second movie). This Stifler is the BMOC at school not only fulfilling the Stifler name but increasing its mythical status. A very likable Stifler character who to me is sort of a mixture of Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder and Jeremy Pivens in PCU.
This movie has A LOT of nudity. There is easily a dozen female full frontals and a hundred topless women throughout the movie. Most of these topless women are running. And naturally gifted. When you watch the making of documentary's they explain how they were able to film all that nudity which was quite interesting.
An interesting side plot in this movie is the fraternity of Little People. The LP's are shown as being fully ingrained and in fact quite remarkable athletes at this university. This is a rare movie that uses LP's as actual characters instead of being characterized.
In the American Pie formula there is a big party to begin the third act which leads to all the actors hooking up with someone. At some point we find that the pretty girl is actually a dominatrix, that the conflicted guy really wants love over sex, someone has to crash another party to say their peace and that no one wakes up with a hangover after drinking that much beer and hard liqueur.
