i'll keep an open mind on this one, since all 3 have been good so far. Some people said ap3 would just be a pointless cashing in exercise and liked it when they saw it. I'm always amazed that some people will spend there time on a movie's thread saying how they hated every movie in the franchise.
I actually like all 3 AP films, but this idea for AP4 is just stupid and I would have no interest to see it at all.
The two ideas that others have stated sound more interesting, Having a Baby and High School Reunion. My personal choice would be the baby storyline. The newlyweds have trouble with the baby and need Jim's Dads help and advice and at some point Jims friends babysit the baby and don't know what to do. And that at the end either the newlyweds announce that they're expecting another baby or that one of Jims friends are going to get married.
Who would really want to see an entire movie about Stiflers little brother? And who would want to go see an American Pie film with none of the original cast except for an actor in a small part of the American Pie franchise?
I know one thing it won't be me and I sense that the teenage audience for the AP films have grown up and moved on and probably won't want to see this as well.
If they're going with that premise of focusing on the brother, and having another actor play the brother, it'll probably (and hopefully) be as related to the other American Pie movies as "Home Alone 4" was to its predecessors. I love the first American Pie movie. It's undoubtedly the stupidest, corniest, must disgusting movie out of all my favourites, but I find it sweet and entertaining anyway.
Aside from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I don't think much of the teen movies of the eighties. American Pie is my second favourite teen comedy behind Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It has its share of stupidity, but it also has heart.
