American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile is a 2006 American teen comedy film released by Universal Pictures. The film is the second spin-off to the American Pie film series and begins a story arc that continues and concludes with American Pie Presents: Beta House (2007). John White stars as Erik Stifler, a high school senior who is given a "guilt free pass" by his girlfiend, Tracy Sterling (Jessy Schram), and so visits the Beta House fraternity led by his cousin, Dwight Stifler (Steve Talley), to run a mile naked. Christopher McDonald co-stars as Erik's father, Harry, and Eugene Levy once again plays Jim's Dad, who turns out to be a family friend of both Erik's and Tracy's. Also, it is in this film that his name is revealed to be "Noah Levenstein".
The Naked Mile of the title refers to a real event that was carried out annually by students of the University of Michigan until 2004. The participants, mostly senior students, would run or bike a pre-designed course through campus while partially or entirely nude. The last "Naked Mile" was in 2004 after the University ended the tradition through arrests and threats to students who ran. Participation in the event also reportedly suffered as it attracted the attention of internet pornography operations.
After the commercial success of the direct-to-DVD production, American Pie Presents: Band Camp, Universal Studios Home Entertainment decided to produce another sequel to the American Pie film. American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile was released direct-to-video on December 19, 2006. The film was a financial success, generating US$27.41 million in DVD sales domestically, however the fans reaction was negative, criticizing the recycled jokes and gags from previous 'American Pie' films and the Stifler character for being a poor, flat copy of the original.
