Remember when American pie movies had buts, dicks inside pies and gay kisses?
This is trash

Right? I mean those movies are geared towards men and it gave us more content than this.

I wanted to support this. Basically a gendered American Pie 1999 but they dropped the ball. Not because it was women, I'm fine with that but they couldn't at least have the guys show some bare ass?

Yeah just a wasted opportunity... time to watch naked mile again to forget whatever this was lol
but darren posted some nice workout vids on his insta story again
Lol yeah Naked Mile set the standard that hasn't been matched yet.

Honestly, Blockers was a better American Pie movie than this one.

Well that's what you get when you have a male director trying to direct a female centric story while trying to cater to a male audience (and still trying to reel in that female audience).

They didn't want straight male viewers (the audience that mostly watched American Pie movies) to be turned off by this being a story about teenage girls, so they tried not to objectify the male actors (also no matter how you spin it, a straight male director almost always shoots a movie through a straight male gaze). But they also didn't want to objectify the girls too much, since that wouldn't make too much sense for this movie.

So they ended up with a movie about straight girls having sex, without really showing anything, where weirdly enough the movies firmly aimed at a straight male audience (i.e. the other American Pie movies) showed off more (male) skin than this movie.

So I gave Girls Rules a second shot since the movie premiered on Netflix and honestly, it wasn't that bad. As far as plot goes, I'd rank it above most of the other American Pie spin offs but that's only because the other ones are just awful. Naked Mile was one of the better ones though. This one as a movie was fine. Especially when you go in without the expectation of male nudity. It was cute, I'd say. The leads had good chemistry. As far an American Pie spin off, it's very tame, practically leaning more toward a PG13 rating.
 
Apparently he was also in Turnt which is like a Facebook mini series show. Kinda like your typical high school drama hooking up and parties drama situation. Has anyone seen it?
