As far as on again, off again film series go, American Pie has had its good and bad. I am pleased to say that the new installment in the series, The Book of Love is a perfect example of the good it has had. Splurging out new, young faces, such as Youtube star Brandon Hardesty and newcomer Kevin M. Horton, along with star of The Little Rascals movie Bug Hall. While all these fresh young faces make the film hilarious, the film is that much more funny with such classic faces as Eugene Levy & Rosanna Arquette. The film also features more than a handful of celebrity cameos ranging anywhere from Dustin Diamond to C. Thomas Howell to Bret Michaels. The film starts out with a semi-socially awkward teenager named Rob (Bug Hall) with his equally socially awkward friends Nathan (Kevin M. Horton) & Lube (Brandon Hardesty, who steals every scene of the film that he's in). When Rob floods the library, he must clean up and finds the legendary sex bible the high school they attend has. The book has been hidden under the book shelf and has water damage, so it is up to him and his friends to rewrite the famous book of love. While the film is predictable with typical situations and you won't remember for more than a couple of minutes after the final credits role, it's actually surprisingly extremely funny when you're watching it and definitely worth a shot.
