After the first three American Pie films (1999-2003) that were all pretty decent in terms of acting, direction and production, the franchise clearly went very quickly downhill, certainly if Hole in One is anything to judge the other instalments by, hopefully this will be the final instalment as no one really deserves to make money from this film that is in the worse taste and is completely
First came in the American Pie Presents spins offs came Band Camp (2005), then The Naked Mile (2006), Beta House (2007) and The Book of Love (2009) before most recently Hole In One (2010). I had thought this latest romp might be a bit of a laugh. That a few nude scenes and jokes might liven up an evening, but I was wrong. The jokes are of crudest variety and even kids expecting to enjoy some female nudity will be disappointed! But none of this matters when you bother to take into consideration the lousy performances and the terrible production values of this movie. It’s very poor indeed.
Sure it’ll still sell in its millions to teenagers keen to listen to crude, American frat boys cracking jokes and shagging women, and young boys eager for their first scenes of boobs. But they’d be better watching re-runs of 80s teen junk like Porky’s which whilst still rubbish at least managed to create an air of realism and attempted to create a film that actually looked good, with real actors in it. Hole in One, has a ridiculous storyline and actors that appear totally out of their depth even in crap like this. Steve Talley is bad, David Ellison is really terrible and Dean Cain – yes the one-time-star of-TVs-Superman slums it here as a repo man.
Hole in One is quite rightly a straight-to-DVD release. If you have the misfortune of buying it, or being given it as a present it should end up not in your DVD collection, but as a straight-to-dustbin-DVD.
