Was just talking about this series to a friend last now. too funny. Blows my bind how this became such a huge hit...
Was one of the first major successful low budget movies that capitalized on teenage "low hanging fruit" humor.
Might have to watch again for old times sake.
I too enjoy the AP movies for what they are - I did see the first like 3 of them in the theater. I would point out however that raunchy teen movie series have been around since the 80s. Porky's and Revenge of the Nerds comes to mind for example. Also, there have been teen movies since the 50s and especially the 60s (Gidget and Annette Funicello and the like) but they don't really qualify as "low hanging fruit" unless just the presence of a girl in a bathing suit is the criteria (I'm sure people got pretty worked up by that back then though).
These American pie movies are all pretty bad...getting worse sequel by sequel. The other stuff looks pretty good.
I can't comment on American Reunion, but I enjoyed the first three with the main cast. The soundtrack is great, and the humor, while crude, is still funny.
Out of curiosity, what do you think of the 2000s Judd Apatow comedies?

Those were great. Crude humor doesn't bother me...if it's done right.

The generation before had "Porky's"

I think they were saying you can't get the same discount if you buy them from the GRUV eBay store.
