This Movie is Horrible. Predictable Story. Same Type Teenage Drama Which we have seen in many movies before this. Poor Story Execution, Terrific Screenplay & All Star Cast performance Average not very good.
Final Verdict: If you have care your time and money then please stay away this movie. Otherwise, as you wish.
My Rating: 4/10

Puritanical sex movie
juanpablosegundo6 October 2020
It's impossible to make a decent sex comedy in which everyone is horny yet all covered up during their sex scenes... But I guess that's what sex comedies in the US are condemned to... Lots of sex and zero nudity...
The jokes are not that original either... But if at least the characters freed themselves from such puritanical treatment, it would be fun to watch.
Not American Pie
anaritapinto-041137 October 2020
Forced "feminism", but then shows girls treating a guy like meat. Not at all American pie style. It is more like a very cheap romantic movie full of teenagers' drama. Okay to watch if you like that kind of movie. But it is not funny as American Pie movies and the story is actually poor and superficial.
Absolute disaster!!!

The one that effectively killed the franchise
Smashingsteve7 October 2020
This female centered American Pie flick is sadly a not very funny, completely sanitized film with lazy writing and directing. The worst offense is a very forced feminist message. But before the pitchforks and fire comes out I am all for equal rights, but crudely forcing the message in every bit of (once) popular entertainment property doesn't work (Well hello Ghostbusters, Terminator: Dark Fate and Charlie's Angels!). This latest gasp of American Pie will go down in history as: the one that effectively killed the once hit comedy franchise.
Pathetic

IT IS NOT AMERICAN PIE..

Going somewhere, but not there yet.

First off, let me start off by agreeing with the majority of folks here. This is not an American Pie movie as you would understand it.
For generations now, American teens have had the "awkward sex comedy" film, complete with relatable tropes. Seems that every decade we need something to help young men laugh at the awkwardness of puberty and for people who've been through it to cringe retroactively. A young man is cursed with raging hormones and a gangly awkwardness and lack of social skills that makes approaching someone and saying "please allow me to insert part of myself into you" extremely difficult.
This movie for various reasons follows a Four Horsewomen team of brash Joan Jett-like tough girl Stef Stiffler, Sexually Active In A Relationship Kayla, Debate Team Future President Lovable Chubby Michelle, and Still A Virgin Holding Out For Mr. Right For Her First Time Annie. They end their latest break bemoaning their problems and make a pact. By Homecoming they will meet their sexual goals. If this was a typical sex comedy the goal would be "get laid" but that's really easy for most women so it's "make your first time special with the man you love", "find a guy who treats you right" and so forth. Right away we're not lookingat a sex comedy, it's a rom com.
It's hard to genderflip the sex comedy, because the vast majority of women have the opposite problem, namely that they're constantly bombarded with sexual interest but not necessarily by the top guy they want.
Which is why, by definition, this turns into a girl power movie where the girls are not happy with the sexual attention of adults, creeped out by being ogled by the majority of the school's male population, which they deem to be "rats", I think part of the invective against it by most reviewers here is that male-oriented ones speak to the problem of starvation and by that metaphor this one is "all four of us want the last slice of cake, whatever shall we do?"
Because eventually all four realize that to satisfy their pact in the way they imagine, it's to get with the just-transferred-in-the-last-semester-of-school-ever Adonis named Grant.
The biggest problem with the movie is that movies really thrive on the concept of a character overcoming a problem, and the other three just simply decide to "settle". Disturbingly, for all the movie crows about getting rid of patriarchal interference in what's messaged to girls, see if you can guess which player - the rowdy sexually aggressive girl, the relationship-sex-three-times-a-day girl, the chubby awkward one with a literal foot locker full of sex toys, or the sweet, virginal intact good girl is the one who gets the prize of the best guy at the end. This isn't a spoiler, they practically ship the couple from the jump.
What would be a better movie is one that speaks to the genuine awkwardness girls face. Except that it would probably involve menstrual gags, period-induced diarrhea, physical mishap and so forth that no censor would allow onto the screen. The suggestion of Judge Reingold's character in Fast Times engaging in self-abuse at the sight of a girl is one thing. A visual gag involving a very real world problem of... how can I put this delicately... "will it fit?" was scrapped.
I am waiting for a film that my female friends scream at the screen going YES YES OH MY GOD YES UGH CRINGE but so far that hasn't happened. Though the director sought out female writers, female assistant directors and so forth and built a soundtrack out of you-go-girl all girl acts, if you're going to do a sex comedy, it needs to be less Bananarama and more Wendy O. Williams. (Not the talk show host, the lead singer of the Plasmatics).
I want that film to be made, for the next generation of girls. So far all they've had is someone trying to pound their square peg into a male-troped round hole.

Disappointment
kyleleanardo6 October 2020
The movie "Girls Rules" directed by Mike Elliot, gives an unimaginative and hastily made a mediocre spin on American Pie. The lead actor played by Madison Pettis gives an uneven performance, but she is not the worst thing in this production. The direction in which this movie tried to go made me want to rip off my ears and eyes and put them inside the washer to clean them. I have wasted 1h 35min of my life, while at the same time lost brain cells by watching this movie.
Loved it

Felt like more mature Disney Channel
maltachamp9 October 2020
Felt like a Disney Channel movie with some very censored sex scenes and a swear word here and there.
In general a good movie but no way an American Pie. And how can you call it American Pie without the legend himself Mr. Noah Levenstein!

The patriarchy....
violinjoe9 October 2020
"You're still clit-blocked by the patriarchy"
This is an actual line from the movie.
I love the American Pie movies. And how timely that Schitt's Creek is ending, with such incredible accolades from fans and critics. Eugene Levy was in the original American Pie, which was a wonderful movie.
Eugene Levy is not present in person or In essence in this horrible, disgusting, pathetic homage to the original. It's a waste of everything, and these actors are terrible. As is the script. Please do not watch this trash, garbage nonsense.

I actually love the American pie movies, but this movie.. It just wasn't good.. I really wanted too, but it sucked. The acting wasn't great the majority of the time, there were scenes that you could tell it was a set and super fake looking, the story was weak, and overall disappointing.
Hard to watch.
endershadow_0120 October 2020
The movie wants to be the first American Pie crossed with road trip. I get that American Pie movies are meant to be trash but this film tarnishes the good name of trash. This coming from a guy who sat through American Pie Book of Love. It's got girls trying to be boys and boys acting like girls. Its
A complete mess with no real direction. If you want to watch great teen woke film I recommend Book Smart but avoid this one like the plague.
The worst 2020 movie so far

Story should have stood on its own, not American Pie presents
prsguitar9 October 2020
I just finished watching this movie. It's a really cute and funny teen rom-com. So, while I don't agree with the current low rating here, I understand why. This cute story would have served itself better by not trying to tie itself into the American Pie franchise. It could have, and should have, stood on its own. It is a really cute movie, but not a classic like American Pie! So putting "America Pie Presents" at the front of the title, and making one of the main character's last name Stifler (the only one with a stressed up-front last name) was reaching as well as unnecessary and self-deafeating! If you like teen rom-coms, I do recommend watching the movie for its good story and acting, but divorce it in your mind from American Pie. It's not a fair comparison.
Not a good movie
vemmapro7 October 2020
Its a movie geared more twords middle school girls. I only watches the first 10 min had to turn it off. Typical Netflix movie trying to social engineer a generation. Who funs and green lights these movies? They should be fired.
Bad Reviews Miss The Point
jess_ily9 October 2020
Obviously not the best movie anyone has ever seen. Let's get real.. NONE of the American Pie franchise movies are good films.
Girls' Rules stays true to the American Pie roots: corny, overdone, unnatural acting with sexual conversation topics. The only changes: there's no nudity and the movie is centered around young women.
I applaud the franchise for accentuating that women enjoy sex, it is normal for women to enjoy sex, experimentation with your own body is normal; it's normal to have feelings, it's normal to wear protection, and it's normal to want a relationship. These topics are important for the TEENAGE WOMEN this movie is geared toward.
Girls' Rules is obviously not made for late 20's to 30-something-year-old men who enjoy movies that are centered around sexualizing and degrading women. If that is what you want, then you shouldn't watch this movie. You can also do society a favor by continuing to live in your mom's basement and posting your incel anger on Reddit.
Made me laugh a couple times, positive message for young women, and Ed Quinn as single daddy next door? 10/10

Hollywood Needs To Stop
dcmackdon12 November 2020
Yeah, it sucked. First off, can't believe the "Game Plan" girl (Madison Pettis) is 22 now, I am old. Hollywood needs to stop with this NO NUDITY BS in movies and shows dealing with sex and crude humor. They made the Stifler character female, not an issue, but she is not Stifler in ANY way (you can make a female Stifler, it's not hard). They also need to stop this DRY HUMPING CLOTHES ON sex scene BS also, just skip it or have it implied. Someone mentioned sexual conversations, there literally were NONE, they literally just made a sex pack, they didn't talk about anything. LBH these girls have no issue getting laid, the issue for women is giving the right guy the chance, but it's all about physical attraction and in here other people tell each one who was the right one for them cause they ignored them, typical. 2 Stars cause it could have been remotely good, a diverse group of young ladies, but you just totally killed every aspect of what made American Pie good. Honestly the American Pie movies have not been the same after the 3rd movie. These are literally CW and FREEFORM movies now. Hollywood is literally stealing money, if you renting these types of movies.
Train-wreck of a movie
