Many films benefit from repeated viewings but I think the opposite can be true of comedies, as second time around you know what's going to happen therefore it loses it's effect. First time I watched American Pie it had me in stitches, second time it amused me. So my 7/10 is based on that. It is a great & funny film about a much of guys desperate to lose their virginity but naturally with mixed & hilarious results. Couple of standout scenes here, Shannon E masturbating on web cam & one of the guys having sex with an American pie, worth seeing for those alone. Some strong language but the nudity is pretty low, they did ramp it up in the sequels, which are all worth checking out.
... View MoreAmerican Pie (1999): Dir: Paul Weitz / Cast: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Eugene Levy, Seann William Scott, Shannon Elizabeth: Here is a vulgar teen comedy where its biggest pitch is to feature a teen male with a baked apple pie plastered over his crotch. It reflects the teenage sex drive with a title suggesting innocence that they do not possess and their parents do not see. Four teenage males make a pact to lose their virginity before prom night. Director Paul Weitz understands the teenage sexual hunger. Eugene Levy steals scenes as a father who understands his son's sexual appetite and arrives home presenting him with issues of Hustler and has long discussions about masturbation. Jason Biggs brings out Jim's sexual longings and becomes involved in an Internet stripteases. Chris Klein takes singing lessons to impress a girl who doesn't realize that she is being played. Seann William Scott highlights the gross humour particularly when he drinks a beer without knowing what was expelled into it beforehand. Shannon Elizabeth is the fixation of Jim as foreign student Nadia whose homework session becomes a web cam sensation. While humour will discourage some, it is the sexual freedom being flaunted that may send the wrong message. Theme regards teenage sexual appetite with an ending that sends the wrong message of clothes coming off and everybody waking up in someone else's bed. Score: 8 / 10

If you don't mind huge amount of sex jokes and anything sex-related, you'll love this. It has some LOL moments that go well with the nice story.Pros:Good storyLOL momentsCons:None I can think of, except it's a bit unrealistic that Vicky doesn't go out with a person much better. She's really hot, and she doesn't have any mental problems, but oh well, guys like hot chicks in movies.10-
... View MoreAmerican pie was porky's from the 90s a ribald gross out comedy about teenagers desperate to lose their virginity before they graduate from high school the result is a sweet but generally gross out comedy which overplays on sex and less about comedy a laughed but but not enough to recommend it enthusiastically . The performances are better than most of the gags around 45 percent of them work while the rest fall flat while the performances are pretty decent form Jason big gs the guy clueless about romance Shaun William Scott who undoubtedly gives the best and most memorable performance as the obnoxious stiffer while the rest apart from those two fail to make an impression such as Thomas Ian Nicholas , Chris Klein , Eddie Kaye Thomas . Whose characters are written so flatly that its hard to care about them .
