Amazon.co.uk Review
The sixth entry in the long-running American Pie franchise anchors its story in the tried-and-true rivalry between nerds and jocks while serving up the non-stop barrage of raunchy gags for which the series has earned its notoriety. The twist in Beta House is that the nerds are actually the heels of the picture, while the heroes (as it were) are hormonally super-charged Erik Stifler (John White) and his pals, who pledge at their college's most chaotic frat during their freshman year. That the fraternity, Beta House, is run by Erik's cousin Dwight (Steve Talley) only works in their favour, but trouble rears its head in the form of the Geek House, a rival frat made up of socially awkward boys with money to burn due to their technological superiority. The apex of their clash is the Greek Olympics (inexplicably presided over by American Pie regular Eugene Levy), which descends into a frenzy of scatological sight gags (one bit, inspired by the Russian Roulette scene in The Deer Hunter, is jaw-droppingly gross). The sweetness that tempered the sex jokes in the original American Pie is completely absent from this entry; that, however, may not be a bad thing for some viewers. --Paul Gaita

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointing but good enough, 24 Jan 2008
By Andrew Kerr (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: American Pie Presents Beta House [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
American Pie Presents: Beta House, is the latest but sadly not the greatest release in the American Pie saga. Based at the University of Michigan the film follows the notorious Beta House fraternity, ruled over by the celebrated and legendary Dwight Stifler, they are known far and wide for their wild parties and extreme behaviour. Erik Stifler is now a freshman at the university and he swears an oath to the Beta House fraternity. However tension and rivalry between Beta House and GEK (Geek) house results in the resurrection of "The Greek Games" a notorious university ritual that was banned decades ago. What follows is an extreme showdown between the two houses with literally everything at stake.

Despite being packed with the usual outrageously side splittingly funny situations that made the American Pie films great, I feel that Beta House is a bit of a letdown considering the sheer brilliance of the previous films. My main problem was with the plot, two groups of people in a college or university, fighting it out in a competition. It's been done plenty of times in the past and Beta House offers nothing original. If you've seen Revenge Of The Nerds, Animal House and even Porky's you will notice the strong similarities. Beta House is a little predictable and you kind of know how it's going to end. Also unlike the previous American Pie films, the characters don't seem to be as `likeable' or real. In the past you would fall in love with characters, grow to care about them, and feel there triumphs and defeats. I guess this is because we're giving so many new characters with each film and it's hard to `get to know them.' Naturally Eugene Levy (Jim's dad) is still there and probably still will be for American Pie 10, but personally I miss the REAL Stifler (Seann William Scott) who was nothing less than a god.

I don't know maybe I'm looking for too much or the wrong things in Beta House, or maybe I'm just stuck in the past. So anyway, regardless of my personal disappointment with Beta House, it is a good enough film that will entertain you and won't disappoint any American Pie fan. My generally opinion of the American Pie films remains unchanged and I eagerly await the next release.

3.0 out of 5 stars American Pie: Beta House review, 4 Jan 2008
By E. Hollingworth "E V V O" (Tonbridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: American Pie Presents Beta House [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
I was greatly anticipating the release of this year's direct-to-DVD American Pie film. As I had liked "Naked mile" but disliked "Band Camp" I wondered how this would fare. I would rate this somewhere between the two. Some parts were genuinely funny but I sometimes felt the story was a little predictable and there weren't as many laugh-out-loud moments as in the first three films+naked mile.

The story is basically about a bunch of guys who go through trials to get into the Beta fraternity. After some trouble with the Geek fraternity, they end up being challenged by the geeks for their house to end their feud once and for all. If you don't know...you can probably guess what happens next...

I was slightly disappointed that the film did not come with any extras but then again, it didnt matter too much. The film was fairly good and if anything, instead of a purchase, I would rent it. For fans of the series, its probably worth the purchase.

Overall, I give it a 6/10. If there had been extras, it could have been a 7.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite good!, 30 Jan 2008
By Mark (Newcastle, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: American Pie Presents Beta House [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
I love the American Pie films, and the first 3 were great, the 4th not so good and the 5th was good, so when I saw an advert for this on TV, I tohught I better check it out and I was quite suprised. It is definitley better than the 4th film and also the 5th film. I still don't think it comes close to the first 3 films, but there is a lot to laugh at within this new film. Some great scenes and phrases and there is alot more nudity in here. A good storyline and good acting makes this one to watch!

Avoid this film at all costs. A pointless attempt to make even MORE money. The film doesn't know where it's going. It's just a random mishmash of nudity and swearing. Pointless.
