Episode Report Card Aaron: B- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT American Pie
By Aaron | Season 4 | Episode 13 | Aired on 01.30.2001
Suddenly, Lillard notices that the gun is missing, and then Gale appears, said gun in hand, and proceeds to recap the last five minutes or so. You'd better leave that to the professionals, honey (which, after that last sentence, makes you wonder what I'm doing here). Anyway, Skeet notices that the safety is on, so he grabs the gun and knocks her out. This movie has more concussions than Eric Lindros (note to American readers: that WAS a hockey joke.). She falls all romantically onto 10-10-2Dewey, but before Skeet can turn off the safety and shoot her, he notices that Sid and her dad are gone. The phone rings. It's Sid, using a scary voice of her own. Skeet runs off to search for her while she chats with Lillard. His motive: "Peer pressure. I'm far too sensitive." On the commentary track, Craven enthuses about a "hilarious" ad-lib Lillard came up with when Skeet accidentally hit him with the phone -- which turns out to be: "Ow. You hit me with the phone," only he swears a lot. What more can I say? The boy is clearly a comic genius. Lillard is petrified that his parents will find out he's a killer. I'm afraid mine will find out that I've forgotten their anniversary, which is this week sometime. By this point, both killers are covered in blood and more than a little woozy. Skeet goes nuts and tears up the living room. Then he hears something, and moves in to check out a closet door. Suddenly, the closet bursts open (of course) and Munch lunges out (of course) and stabs Skeet with an umbrella. Munch peels off the mask to reveal Sidney, and I have to question why she felt compelled to dress up in a costume worn by her mother's killer, when that same killer is busy searching the house for her. Wouldn't that time have been better spent calling the police, or running away, or even calling her agent and nailing down that Poison Ivy 4 deal? At this moment, Lillard charges her, and there's more fighting and chasing. Sid finally disposes of him by dumping the TV on his head, which is either self-referential commentary, or just lame and hackneyed. Actually, they both work. Now Randy finally wakes up, and informs us that he's "never been so happy to be a virgin." See if you still feel that way after the sequels, buddy. Next, Skeet wakes up, and again with the fighting and the stabbing. Finally Gale wakes up, and shoots Skeet. For some reason they all choose to gather around the body and discuss horror movies, which is a perfectly natural reaction to repeatedly escaping death. Randy goes meta one last time and says, "This is where the supposedly dead killer comes back for one final scare," and needless to say, that's exactly what happens. Pull! Sid shoots him. By the way, that was the skeet-shooting joke, so I guess I wasn't so much saving it as postponing the inevitable. Anyway, as the sun rises over Lillard's house, 10-10-2Dewey is loaded into an ambulance. On the lawn, Gale has apparently scraped together a trained camera crew out of paramedics and bystanders, because she's delivering the raw, unsanitized exposition, er, newscast that closes the film. She walks into the house, and we fade out.Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19Next
