Advantages: Some bits are funny Disadvantages: Not so good as the rest!!!
American Pie : The Naked Mile is the is the fifth American Pie , following American Pie : Band Camp. The movie was released on DVD in the United Kingdom on 19th December 2006. This film was directed by Joe Nussbaum. Running time of the movie is 97 minutes. The unrated version lasts for 102 minutes.
The film is about Steve Stiffler's cousin Erik. For those of you who have not seen an American Pie film ; Stiffler is the 'mad/wild/rude' character in the first three American Pies. So this movie focuses on Stiffler's cousin who is nothing at all like Stiffler , and so he feels under pressure to live up to his 'cousin's' wild ways. The title of the movie is 'naked mile' because the college students have to run a mile naked!
I am a major fan of the first three American Pie films. The storylines are great , the characters I grew fond ...
Never before have I seen a film that has done the book justice. The Green Mile was adapted from the book with the same title written by Stephen King. Because I had read the book first, quite some time ago, I wasn`t expecting it to be that good even though I`d read some great reviews about it.

The leading actors in this film are Tom Hanks who plays the character Paul Edgecomb, Michael Clarke Duncan( John Coffey), Sam Rockwell ( Wild Bill), Michael Jeter (Edward Delacroix), Doug Hutchinson (Percy Wetmore), and David Morse (Brutus"brutal"Howel).
John Coffey, the very lovable, gigantic black man, is sentenced to death row for the murder of two little girls. This was the only character who was not as I pictured him in my mind ...
Advantages: Story, Acting, Soundtrack Disadvantages: Not for those that do not like hip-hop/rap
