Losing Faith In Salon’s Movie Reviews

Here's a pretty old legacy post from the blog archives of Geekery Today; it was written about 23 years ago, in 2001, on the World Wide Web.

It was no surprise at all to me to find a reviewer declaring that American Pie 2 was crap [Salon]. But what level of oxygen deprivation does it take to declare that the first American Pie was "one of the sweetest comedies of the ’90s, and one of the smartest." Huh? I mean, American Pie was nowhere near as mean-spirited as some of the teen sex comedies of the 1980s, but what is? And in a decade that gave us Life is Beautiful, Kicking and Screaming, Bamboozled, The Last Supper, Man on the Moon, Bulworth, and more, I believe this review is a clinically diagnosable mental illness.
