This has to be the 1st film in history
to literally Rip the beginning from another film in this case American Pie
2. So that's an achievement in itself even if the rest of the film is an utter farse.
(added 07) - Obviously I'd blocked out all memory of Monty Python's Holy Grail when I wrote that horrible lie.
The film follows 3 friends closely
based on the actors who play them, as a result this film is laden with in-jokes.
However The Great Piss Take quickly became a cult classic seen time & time again by both
me & my friend Sam.
Dylan Callanan (Dona) Rory Mullin (ROVER)
& Luke Leslie (LEE) fill out their respective roles in this parady of themselves
& many Holywood block busters & TV shows including American Pie, The
Matrix, Star wars, Fightclub, Baywatch, Vanilla Sky, Blade 2, & MTV pop culture in general.
These
3 friends struggle to formulate an idea for a film which in the end, comes to
blows. See it - hate it - buy the T-shirt.
I don't like this nearly as much as the sequel, which even though its considerably longer, seems shorter then this... less singing too, I promise.
