It really is amazing how terrible a movie can be and yet still earn a big enthusiastic DVD release as if it were an actual piece of filmed entertainment that's worthy of your time, money and effort. Trust me on this one, people, and this is coming from a guy who lived through/survived the Wretched Teen-Sex Comedy Flood of the Mid-'80s: The Naked Mile is one of the lamest, laziest and most shockingly amateurish comedies I've ever seen. The fact that Universal wants to keep riding the "American Pie" gravy train is no big shock; that they put so little effort or creativity into these video sequels, well, it's kind of a slap in the face. Just because someone's looking for a mindless college comedy, that doesn't mean that person is a mentally-deficient moron -- but that's precisely what The Naked Mile (and its equally pathetic predecessor, Band Camp) is: witless, worthless and unwatchable. The story focuses on a member of the Stifler family who is not an amazing sleazeball. This particular Stifler is, despite accidentally killing his grandmother with a volley of flying semen, a sweet and sensitive little guy, one who comes complete with a virginal girlfriend who is forever making him wait to participate in the "the dirty deed." But when Virgin-girl gets stupid, she tells her equally virginal Stifler "Hey, you can have a free pass to have sex when you travel up to the college for a wild weekend with your cousin Dwight Stifler." (Yes, another one.) Basically, The Naked Mile is the sort of thing that a bunch of 14-year-olds would put together. Clueless, horny and entirely talent-deficient 14-year-olds. Most of the "gags" are delivered in a wide-eyed "ain't we funny?!?!?" approach, despite the fact that Erik Lindsay's worthless screenplay is full of groaners that would have been booed off a 1929 vaudeville stage. Director Joe Nussbaum (who did the excellent short George Lucas in Love before being assimilated into the Hollywood machine by way of the godawful Sleepover) has no idea how to frame a gag, time a joke, or deliver a reaction shot that's not reminiscient of, let's say, your average run-of-the-mill toothpaste commercial. The acting is atrocious across the board (Steve Talley as "Dwight Stifler" makes for one of the least appealing movie characters I've ever seen), the screenplay is entirely bereft of laughs, the entire movie looks like it was shot in one weekend (not to mention one take), and the merciless freakin' thing has the audacity to run for over 100 interminable minutes, as if there's something buried in its final frames that are actually worth savoring. Call me a snooty snob if you like, but I can name a dozen "slob college sex comedies" that I think are pretty damn funny.

Have DVD of the various other American Pie Movie series. Eugene Levy,(Jim the pie mans father)is the only original cast member. Plenty of T & A or almost T & A. Fast moving, kind of fun. Sequence with grandmothers death very funny.
I loved the movie!!If you like any of the comedies you will for sure love this one and every one of the american pie movies..I loved them so much i went and bought every one of these movies so enjoy a good laugh while you can!!!
Item was in good condition and watchable case was also in a decent condition and its a great movie. Thanks for the great buy
This American Pie was not that bad. very funny as usual. and very sexual. (duh) you do see more boobies in it (for all you men out there). this movie is about history and how kids are still going to do it. maybe with a little twist but they are going to carry on the traditions in school. a good movie.
