Amazon.com: Anyone who's watched just about any teenage film knows that the greatest evil in this world isn't chemical warfare, ethnic cleansing, or even the nuclear bomb. The worst crime known to man? Why, virginity, of course. As we've learned from countless films--from Summer of '42 to Risky Business--virginity is a criminal burden that one must shed oneself of as quickly as possible. And while many of these films have given the topic a bad name, American Pie quietly sweeps in and gives sex some of its dignity back. Dignity, you may say? How can a film that highlights intercourse with fruit pies, premature ejaculation broadcasted across the Internet, and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as Porky's and Losin' It? The plot may be typical, with four high school friends swearing to "score" by prom, yet the film rises above the muck with its superior cast, successful and sweet humor, and some actually rather retro values about the meaning and importance of sex. Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and Eddie Kaye Thomas make up the odd quartet of pals determined to woo, lie, and beg their way to manhood. The young women they pursue are wary girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid), choir girl Heather (Mena Suvari), band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and just about any other female who is willing and able. Natasha Lyonne as Jessica, playing a similar role as in Slums of Beverly Hills, is the general adviser to the crowd (when Vicky tells her "I want it to be the right time, the right place," Jessica responds, "It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex"). The comedic timing hits the mark--especially in the deliberately awkward scenes between Jim (Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy). And, of course, lessons are learned in this genuinely funny film, which will probably please the adult crowd even more than it will the teenage one. --Jenny Brown

Sure, it's a dumb movie about guys who want to get laid, but it does invent several characters that you really do begin to care about, so how can you really fault it? The gags are really quite funny, and it's hard to imagine any other situation where a girl could convince her dad that "there was nothing going on" by screaming at the top of her lungs "I'M COMING!!!!" Another phrase that will never be the same for met again is "There was this one time at Band Camp..." The infamous American pie scene ... Read More
Rating: - Well.......Teens Only!
This film is really funny from a teens point of view. I dont know what you adults would think though,it does have some pretty silly and disturbing scenes....But otherwise,to me,this was a hilarious crude comedy,basically about 4 dudes that really wanna score,before graduation. It starts of with a funny scene,and the acting is very acceptable,but was blatant at times by some of the cast. The love relationships were fairly unrealistic,and biased. Now,its not as easy as it sounds,this has more crude ... Read More
Rating: - Good times
I guess this movie brings back good memories for me because I just graduated HS when this movie came out. Not only was it very accurate of how high school kids act (alot of them anyway)it was hilarious! The first scene the whole theater erupted and it just kept going on from there. Since dvds were first comming out at that time, I had to buy the video and then the dvd and when this copy wears out, I will buy it again. See it!
Rating: - funny but stupid
this movie was so dumb that it's funny. it was okay probably the best out of all the american pie movies.
Rating: - American Pie DVD
A great laugh and funfest for anyone over the age of 13, but not for the easily grossed out or offended types.
