8. American Pie Presents – The Book of Love (2009)

By far the worst movie of the series and the 4^th and the last movie to come out of the direct-to-DVD Presents series. The movie takes ten years after the first ‘American Pie’ movie. The movie follows a similar storyline as the original where 3 unlucky high school virgins try to lose their virginity. In the process to do that, they find “The Bible (Book of Love)” created none other than Noah Levenstein (Eugene Levy). It has various information written by generations of users on different sex acts and how to get laid. The book gets destroyed partially, giving some ill-fated advice to the youngsters. The gang finally decides to meet Mr. Levenstein and restore the book of love with the help of all the people who have used it during their time at the high school. ‘American Pie Presents- The Book of Love’ has the worst Stifler. His role is minuscule, which adds to the criticism of the film.

7. American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005)

The first film of the Direct-to-DVD Presents series has Matt Stifler (Tad Hilgenbrinck), the younger brother of Steve Stifler, in the main role. The movie focuses on the escapades at a Band Camp. This spin-off movie has its storyline based in a band camp which has references in the first two ‘American Pie’ movies. Steve Stifler is sent to attend the band camp as a punishment for making fun of the band and creating havoc for them. Most people hate him there when he arrives, but he wins them over. Of course, it being a part of the ‘American Pie’ series, it is explicit and crude. Noah Levenstein (Eugene Levy) is his usual hilarious self, playing the role of the camp’s MACRO (Morale And Conflict Resolution Officer).

6. American Pie Presents: Beta House (2007)

A direct sequel to 2006’s Direct-to-DVD ‘American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile’ follows the story of freshmen Erik Stifler (John White) and his friend Mike “Cooze” Coozeman (Jake Siegel) who are pledging for the Beta House.

5. American Reunion (2012)

The fourth movie in the original series and eight overall. ‘American Reunion’ saw the entire original cast reunited after ‘American Wedding’ in 2003. Thirteen years after the group graduated high school, the gang returns back home for their Class of 1999 reunion in East Great Falls. Jim and Michelle are married and have a two-year-old son. The rest of the gang of Oz, Kevin, Finch, and Stifler are also settled in their different careers. What happens next is a series of slapstick and unfortunate events. This movie offers a mild emotional tone compared to the other films. Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott) shines in the role made for him and finally gets back at Finch after all these years. It’s not a bad movie, neither is it great, but for the teens who loved American Pie, it’s a nice nostalgic ride.

4. American Wedding (2003)

After having their adventures and sexcapdes in the first two movies, the third part of the series shows a change in the usual storyline with Jim (Jason Briggs) and Michelle’s (Alyson Hannigan) wedding as the major plotline. But not to worry, in the end, it’s an ‘American Pie’ movie, and it has all its usual perks. Sean William Scott as Steve Stifler is in prime form. With the supporting cast of Eddie Kaye, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eugene Levy, January Jones, Eric Allan Kramer in top form, the movie delivers the laughs. One particular scene in which Scott’s Stifler and Kramer’s Bear have a dance-off in a gay bar is hilarious. Jennifer Coolidge returns as the MILF, Stifler’s mom.

3. American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile (2006)

‘American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile’ was the second Direct-to-DVD movie in the Presents series. With an opening scene that is remembered by most, the movie gets everyone’s attention. The story revolves around Erik Stifler and his friends Cooze and Ryan, who travel to Michigan to meet Erik’s cousin Dwight Stifler and participate in the event Naked Mile. Which is exactly as the name states 1 mile long run to be done naked. The movie is by far the most explicit. It goes without saying for all American Pie films but for this one especially, make sure your parents aren’t around when you are watching this!

2. American Pie 2 (2001)

The sequel to the first ‘American Pie’ movie begins right after high school is over; the four friends Jim, Oz, Kevin, and Finch, decide to rent a beach house and spend the summer there. Of course, they can’t do it without the master in crime and leader of their misadventures Steve Stifler due to financial constraints, much to Finch’s annoyance. What comes next is a summer filled with ex’s returning, working out long-distance relationships, and basically, the gang’s attempts to get laid. Jennifer Coolidge returns as Stifler’s mom. Eugene Levy is there too up to with his usual quirky lines. With raunchy scenes and some real good fun, the movie deserves the second spot.
