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

 Well Done, But.... June 9, 2010
Gary Peterson (San Diego, California USA)
My wife picked up an "American Pie" DVD from the bargain rack of a discounter and we watched it last night. It depicts the lives and times of four young males in the last year of high school as they are actively searching for what young guys search for. The movie was well done. The acting was good and the scenes well managed. However, I didn't particularly care for the movie. I felt uncomfortable throughout the viewing.
The movie was meant to be a comedy and I'm sure many, if not most, people may find it hilariously funny. I didn't. The growing up and coming of age period of life is a very difficult transition for most people and this movie accurately portrays it. The writers, director and actors all have a fine eye for awkward and embarrassing situations and they maximize the comedy potential of each incident. But why laugh at people who are having a difficult time? Is their struggle really that funny? Well, it is funny, to be sure, but I feel more uneasyness than mirth when I watch the story unfold. I don't end up with the feeling that I've watched a really good comedic movie. Oh well, maybe that's just me. I don't view the high school years as one of the highlights of my life.

 Classic, hilarious - humor of the late 90's! May 22, 2010
MB (Massachusetts)
What else can you say about this movie - its great, classic lines, classic characters. Loved it then and still watching it now. Can't imagine a "greatest comedies of all time" without this movie on the list. But even more, its a great coming of age movie - to anyone in their 20's during this time, just brings back great memories.
American Pie April 29, 2010
William Michael Barton (USA Michigan)
The movie arrived in normal time as it says when you order. I thought it arrived in great shape considering it was the very first American Pie of the series. The dvd worked like new and there was no problem with the dvd. The case was a little worn but outside that, who can complain? Surely not me. Look forward to doing business with you again.
"Hilarious" January 12, 2010
Terry Richard (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada)
Budget at only 10 million dollars, "American Pie" has grossed over $235,000,000 since its release in 1999 making it the biggest teen comedy of all-time. Spawning several sequels, "American Pie" is simply a well-acted and funny film that all audiences will enjoy. The plot involves four teenagers attempting to lose their virginity before highschool graduation. The title refers to the fact that having sex actually feels like "apple pie": once you view the film you'll know more. Seanne William Scott, who plays the supporting role of Stifler, steals the film with his cuteness and brave acting chomps, and he would go on to actually star in other "American pie" films. The DVD is loaded with bonuses including on-location interviews, commentary, trailers, and more. There is also an informative booklet that accompanies the set. A perfect film to view on a Friday night!
American Pie November 9, 2009
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
Very Funny movie unlike many teen flicks/college flicks, the 1st ones are always the best, American Pie is a Modern Classic. And it's Hilarious. Stifller is the BEST! and his Mom too.
