Is Alyson Hannigan the only one from that series that's had any real success? I mean she went back to TV after "Date Movie" (why do I remember that movie exists?) but I couldn't even tell you the last thing I saw any of those actors in. Other than Sean William Scott who just did that second Goon movie.

Natasha Lyonne became a junkie, Thomas Ian Nicholas is doing garbage like Walt Before Mickey (truly one of the dumbest, most mind-numbing movies I've ever seen), I couldn't tell you the last time I saw Chris Klein (outside of NASH OUT) or Jason Biggs anywhere, I think Mena Suvari and Shannon Elizabeth are doing DTV stuff ... I guess Eddie Kaye Thomas is on Scorpion, isn't he?

So, yeah, ouch. That series certainly didn't launch any careers.

What even happened to Tara Reid's career. Surely she could have at least gotten bit parts in actual bad movies, and not these parts in these weird tax write-off scam joints.

People forgetting that she's got top billing in those ridiculously popular Sharknado movies.

I think John Cho and Casey Affleck both had bit roles in the first two movies. So maybe it's an inverse-square screentime-to-success ratio.

Are the Sharknado movies really still that popular? I feel like after the third one I just stopped hearing anything about them, other than the occasional bit of bad press over stuff like the union busting on set and them having to edit out Jared Fogle. And the huge number of cameos they pack them with can't be all that cheap, just from the number of them alone.

Jason Biggs played the husband of the main character in Orange is the New Black (no idea how much he's featured, since it's a show about a woman's prison) and was the voice of Leonardo in a semi-recent Ninja Turtle cartoon. Not Alyson Hannigan success by any means, but not bad.

Natasha Lyonne got an Emmy nomination for her role in Orange is the New Black. She's doing alright.

He was in the first two seasons before they essentially ended his story, but I got the impression from interviews at the time that he doesn't need to work and just does random projects between goofing off with his celebrity friends and wife

I'm just going to put it out there that Josie and the Pussycats is surprisingly funny and Tara Reid is good in it.

However, whoever pegged her between Jessica Alba and Shannon Elizabeth is right on target. They're fine in roles well tailored for them but they're not good at acting at all.

That was circa 2000 before the drinking though. She's currently in over her head, ability wise, in the Sharknado series.

Edit:
All comments about acting and movie ambition aside, I really like everything about this FB post.

Seriously, she looks great, even as a tax scam the movie would have my full support, and that is an adorable pitty.

The pubes scene was a bit much, but the character subplots were decent.

I didnt mind the Reunion film. It gave Stiffler something resembling an arc, and really highlighted how incredibly loving terrible it is to try to recapture your teenage years.

Chris Klein is like some terrible MAD TV homunculous of Keeanu Reeves. Everything he is is eclipsed by Josh Hartnett. His scenes trying to be the sensitive jock/choirboy were borderline parody. The fuckhole Pie had more emotive depth.

It's sort of amazing that Chris Klein, who shared a film with Mel Gibson back in 2002, somehow still has a worse career than someone who's public image completely imploded.

I remember liking the sequel better than the original, but I never bothered with Wedding or Reunion. Or any of the spin offs, and there were at least 3 or 4 or those loving things because apparently Eugene Levy needs a paycheck.

Road Trip is the superior teen sex comedy featuring Seann William Scott, none of the sex acts are non-consensual, the girl who sleeps around isn't slut shamed, Seann William Socott develops a fetish for rear end play and nothing in the movie implies he's secretly gay or less masculine because of it, the girl the main character leaves to get with the other girl isn't a bitch.

I don't think I've seen Road Trip. I remember Sex Drive not being horrible, and I always had a soft spot for Eurotrip and Van Wilder.

Eurotrip because it's so quotable and better than it has a right to be, and Van Wilder was always fun because Ryan Reynolds was being Ryan Reynolds. I vaguely remember the Kal Pen sequel not being awful but that was probably a decade ago.

Road Trip was probably the most sex-positive of those types of movies I've seen, at least until Fired Up came out.

No the sequel sucks. I had an idiot roommate who'd rent anything that might have simulated sex acts in it. I suppose it was better than most of the poo poo he rented but not by much.

They literally just green screen a bunch of naked people in during random scenes. Also Seth Green was really loving funny as the Amish car mechanic

I haven't seen Eurotrip since it came out on DVD and we watched it on a sleepover, so I have no idea how it holds up, but I still think about the ongoing "Scotty Doesn't Know" gag once in a while and it cracks me up.

I saw Eurotrip when it came out in theaters and then had it on DVD for ages. I actually watched it again a couple months back and it surprisingly held up.
