American Pie Presents The Book Of Love (2009) 6/10

Starring : Bug Hall, Kevin M Horton, Brandon Hardesty, Beth Behrs, Eugene Levy
Director : John Putch
Running Time : 94 mins

When he accidentally starts a fire at the school library, Rob Shearson (Hall) finds the fabled Book of Love hidden among the stacks. This book details various tried and tested methods for losing your virginity, but due to the fire damage much of the book has been ruined. So, along with his friends Lube (Horton) and Nathan (Hardesty), Rob decides to track down everyone who has ever contributed to the book and recreate the advice, which he hopes to use to win the heart of Heidi (Behrs), the girl of his dreams.

There was some potential here, what with the writers coming up with new characters, but they still had to throw in a Stifler, whose role really could have been removed with no real effect to the storyline. This could easily have been retitled and just been a stand-alone, non-American Pie movie but I guess, with a franchise that has now hit eight instalments, the makers just couldn’t resist cashing in on the popularity of the series.
