American Pie Presents: Beta House [MA]


After his noble and romantic loss of his virginity to his girlfriend of two years, Eric Stifler begins his freshman year arriving at the Beta college campus flat and sexually frustrated after four months of a broken heart and a house lock on masturbation. But with his cousin Dwight’s help in pledging to the Beta way of life as well as protecting it from Beta’s archrival, the Geke house, Eric might just have a chance at starting over and moving on. 

Oh no, just oh dear me no. At least with Naked Mile there was an actual story with complications and resolutions and all that jazz. This right here is just the ultimate college party, it’s just a portrait of fraternity life with fucking testosterone (amongst other things) flying every which way.

With any series of movies there comes a point to which you push something. Most respectable sagas and series know just when to stop pushing… the American Pie saga, not so much. Without a strong enough story upon which to place everything here, this movie just turned into a drinking game, the loser being the first member of the audience to either vomit or rush out of the theatre to vomit. The crudity level reached a whole new number: we’ve got a drinking contest that turns into a projectile vomit-off, we’ve got fermented hose semen in place of bullets in a game of Russian Roulette, and then there’s the whole thing with the sheep. 
Deep, and I’m talking very very deep down on some subterranean level of the story there is a nice element of the bromance, self-discovery, and steadfastly holding values of tradition. And that’s about the only silver lining I can find in this dark, dark cloud. 
Starring John White, Steve Talley, Christopher McDonald, Meghan Heffern, Jake Segal, Nick Nicotera, Jonathan Keltz, Bradford Anderson, Sarah Power, and Eugene Levy, American Pie Presents Beta House is a crude and pointless movie. Though it could also be considered a certain brand of audience’s wet dream. Filled with nothing but nudity, sex, gross pranks and contests, and weird episodes of sexual schadenfreude, I won’t be watching it again.
