David Zucker has written and directed some of the biggest comedies of all time, including Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
Jerry (Jason Biggs) is a guy afraid of being alone. He just wants the perfect girl and the perfect writing gig. But as all writers know, happily ever after only exists in fairy tales.
Jerry's latest girlfriend Amanda (Christina Ricci) is a beautiful actress who has her fair share of hang ups and ambiguous emotions.
2001's American Pie 2 was some what of a disappointment to a lot of die-hard fans of the 1999 original film. There were a lot of awkward moments, useless cameos, and returning regulars who had little purpose of being there. Placing that aside, the second film did have the classic superglue scene and the Stifler/lesbians scene.
American Wedding, the third and possibly final installment of the American Pie series, is just as raunchy and even more hilarious than its two predecessors.
2003 has seen its fair share of horror movies, and so far it's been a pretty weak year. House of 1000 Corpses was frightening and sickening at the same time, Darkness Falls was a joke, and while Wrong Turn had its moments, overall it was pretty unscary.
Can you remember those sleepless nights you had when you were a child after watching a really intense zombie movie? Perhaps it was Night of the Living Dead or Return of the Living Dead or Dawn of the Dead, but each generation has had their own zombie film that broke out and continued to shock horror fans.
I love movies that turn out to be more than what it seems they WILL be. I'm not talking about movies that look like they will absolutely suck, and turn out to be simply less untolerable than you were expecting (Kangaroo Jack).
Director Rob Reiner, Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson have decided to square-off against a green-skinned behemoth. They are packing a weapon to help stall the green goliath.
In 2001, a little film nobody had heard of blasted into multiplexes and made car-enthusiasts cheer. The film popped the hood on the whole underground world of street-racing and rocketed bouncer-turned-actor Vin Diesel into the stratosphere.
Perhaps The Simpsons' "Comic Book Guy" said it best when he declared, "Oh, I've wasted my life," right before a nuclear bomb launched into Springfield by the French explodes, killing all of its residents, except -- of course -- for Homer Simpson.
During his life time, there was nothing more Irving Steinbloom loved more than folk music. Thinking of ways to celebrate a life of a legendary folk music promoter, his son Jonathan (Bob Balaban) decides to stage a reunion concert at the infamous Town Hall -- the site of many terrific folk shows over the years. Jonathan decides that he wishes to have his father's three top acts on the bill.
