Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.
While traditional American Pie fans might be disappointed, as it has been more of a "boy's club" movie franchise, this franchise knows how to handle sex-based teen comedy in a "healthy-ish" way with just the right amount of tact (or lack there of).
This clearly parallels the original movie, with 4 high schoolers making a "sex pact", but where guys get in there own way about their lack of sexual potential, teen girls tend to have less of an issue so it becomes, not getting sex, but getting the right sex, and in a somewhat predictable fashion, competing over a boy.
Because they're searching for "something" that is clearly going to be evident in much more compatible people that we're first led to believe, but the journey is actually told in a really great way.
The cast did a great job on deliveries and embodying their characters. It's not going to be my favorite "American Pie", but it certainly has more charm and a more reasonable story line that any of the other movies.
Fans of "Booksmart" and "CockBlockers" will likely enjoy this. Possibly fans of "John Tucker Must Die" as well.
**I realize film industry has started down this path and theres probably no turning back... so I wont even go into it... what I will say is tho... yet another "remake" absolutely wrecked with the push of this new narrative ... to literally "white wash" great content of old and interject this new "narrative"... It along single handidly will eventually kill off Hollywood before this virus does... **
Ah, that was painful!
Granted, any movie from this franchise that doesn't involve the main bunch is always going to struggle. The other four releases without Jason Biggs & Co. are hit-and-miss, I liked two and disliked two to be specific. I remember thinking <em>'American Pie Presents: The Book of Love'</em> was particularly bad, yet somehow this 2020 release has managed to drop the bar even lower.
On paper an <em>'American Pie'</em> flick from the girls' perspective, rather than the boys', sounds cool and I could see that working well with creativity and effort attributed. Unfortunately, what's produced here is awful - from pretty much the very first few scenes. For a 90min movie, this dragged hard! I'm not sure who it's made for either, I can't see it's supposed demographic gaining anything from it; nor the general audience of this series.
Surprisingly, given how languid this film is throughout, the cast actually aren't a problem of the movie's, like at all. The acting standard is, at worst, decent, but sadly for them they are given absolutely zero to work with. Madison Pettis, Sara Rue and Lizze Broadway are solid. The latter is a relation of <em>the</em> Stifler, for no real reason, mind you. Oh, and Danny Trejo is in this... well, kinda. He bizarrely just lingers in the background of a few scenes, literally.
<em>'American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules'</em> could've been good made-for-DVD fluff. In actuality it is the definition of utter rubbish. An extract from Wikipedia sums it up, really: <em>"It is the first film in the franchise to not feature Eugene Levy and also the first to contain no nudity".</em>
