How long was this movie? 10 hours? 12 hours? That's what it felt like. What a terrible waste of time this was. First of all, this was an obvious and awful attempt to rekindle some of the inexplicable American Pie hype with Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari. Suvari knows how to act, as she proved in American Beauty, she just didn't do it here. Jason Biggs is the biggest mystery in the film industry right now. How did this idiot get on screen?
As far as the story, nobody gets treated like that in college. I don't care how small the town is that you're from. There are not as many college students with the mentality of a 9 year old that would be necessary to pull all of the stunts that were pulled in this movie. They were real creative with Biggs' character, too. Dress him up like a geek and put a few obscure words into his vocabulary. And yes, they did manage to squeeze in a falling-down-the-stairs scene for him, what fun. Besides that, what about the housing? Biggs gets kicked out of the dorms by his dumbass roommates and then what, he talks his way into turning one room in a veterinary hospital into his personal lodgings? Are you kidding me?!
Biggs and Suvari have no chemistry on screen, and she can't play the part of a reject like she tried to in Loser, it doesn't fit with her iconography. Terrible acting, a terrible story, and a director who did little more than point and shoot, all adds up to a ridiculous film whose stupidity borders on being offensive.
