There, now that THAT's off my chest, I can get on with the review.

This movie needs a more accurate title. The one I would suggest is "French Pie". Or, in this case, "French Pasta".

Yes, this is France's answer to the American teen hit American Pie. There are even scenes that mimic scenes from the classic teen movie--including a scene with a pasta. In an oven mitt. You can guess what happens to it. And this time, nobody catches the dirty guy, but it's eaten. And yes, they DO find out what the flavour is.

Heck, even the opening scene re-hashes Pie. Except this time, the thingamabobble isn't going in a sock. And no, we never find out how to measure it properly (as is the purpose of the act this time around).

The major difference is in the story--instead of having Jim, Finch, Kevin and Oz, we now have Seb, Franck and Manu, three unmarried twentysomethings. Seb has to do a journalism assignment on youth and sex, Franck has a thing for a nurse and subsequently shoves beer bottles where they definitely should not go (OUCH!) and Manu shoots porn with the first girl Seb slept with.

It's also a tad more explicit than Pie. We get treated to sex scenes at several more points than the American film. Nothing TOO explicit there (well, it doesn't get shown for very long) but worth noting.

Not actually being fluent in French, I couldn't actually tell how good the acting was, but none of them looked bad. And the subtitling was done by the often-excellent Special Broadcasting Service (an Aussie channel, aka SBS). They certainly emoted well with the material.

And yes, I laughed. One hell of a lot of times.

(NOTE: TMI stands for Too Much Information, and NFBSK stands for Not For British School Kids. The first should be a common sighting all around the net, but the latter is indigenous to http://www.snopes.com. It's not meant to be racist, just referring to the stereotype polite prudish British school)

Oh, please please please say that it is in/is coming to America! I wasn't a big fan of American Pie, but it was ... ok. However, this sounds like it'll be really good. In fact, I'm gonna start searching the web right now.
