bought this to watch on my dvd player whilst away on holiday great movie very funny hillarious cant wait to watch one of the follow up movies
An absolutely hilarious film, keeps you laughing time after time. Well worth a watch. Would recommend to a friend.
I had actually seen American Pie 2 first, but had heard so much about the original which tempted me in to purchasing the 2nd when it was released. The orginal American Pie movie is full of hilarious moments as the teenagers desperately hope to lose their virginity before graduation from high school. Jim finds himself getting into all sorts of amzuing situations and Stifler is his usal prankster/joker. This movie is side-splittingly funny from the offset. Excellent cast who really take to the characters well. Lots of funny scenes, this movie is great for a bunch of friends to watch together, there are a few adult scenes but generally its a cool teen movie. Recommended highly.
You’ll never look at warm apple pie the same way again! American Pie takes a hysterical look at the goal of four "unlucky in love" high school friends who make the ultimate pact: lose their virginity by prom night. As they try to manipulate their way into the hearts of some of their classmates, their plans often backfire with hilarity. One fails to score with the sexy foreign exchange student and then makes a last ditch effort with a band member who has an interesting way with her flute, while another is so desperate he actually hires someone to give him a "reputation". Follow the raging hormones of four teenage boys and their girls as they gear up for the most important night of their lives; the prom? Sit back and enjoy a piece of America’s #1 comedy hit!
If you are a person easily offended by a film dedicated primarily to the glory of teen sex, you may well view "American Pie" as yet another in a long line of cinematic harbingers of the collapse of western civilization. If, however, you remember adolescence as essentially a period of unending coitus interruptus, you may well find yourself engrossed by this amusing, though admittedly crude, series of sexual and scatalogical gags woven around a plot involving the desperate attempts of a quartet of last semester seniors to lose their virginity on the fast approaching sexual armageddon known as "prom night." "American Pie" gleans most of its comic energy from its outrageous examination of the crazy and innovative extremes desperately horny teens will go to in order to experience the thrill of sex in lieu of the real thing. An attractive, game cast helps to mitigate the crudity of many of their actions and the filmmakers' lighthearted tone encompasses the characters in such a cloak of affection that the audience identifies with, rather than condemns, their antics. As meager compensation for the moralists among us, the film does heavily promote the use of condoms and comes up with even more creative prophylactics for those times when a partner is not available. "American Pie" is certainly not for every taste and there are those who would argue that it serves a less than salutary purpose as a guide for already sex-obsessed teenagers. Be that as it may, the film provides a fair number of hearty chuckles for those of us who can find humor in a group of backward youngsters experiencing the frustration and desperation we have all, at one time, experienced. I do have one troubling question though: why do none of these characters, whenever they are involved in a potentially compromising position, ever lock a door? The answer, I suppose, is obvious for, if they did, at least half the film's biggest laughs would become impossible to achieve. For this film, at least, such a suspension of disbelief may be a prerequisite. Be forewarned but enjoy!Read full review
