Amazon.co.uk Review
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 ISummer of '42/I to IRisky Business/I--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, IAmerican Pie/I 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 broadcast across the Internet and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as IPorky's/I and ILosin' It/I? The plot of iAmerican Pie/i 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 humour, 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 ISlums of Beverly Hills/I, is the general advisor 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 Isex/I"). 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. --IJenny Brown/I

3 out of 5 stars A little overrated I think   November 29, 2008
This film does have a few laughs but it isn't that good, or funny. I can't see why so many people like it. br /I'm into the comedy genre but this didn't really stand out from any other American teen movie.br /I'd recommend people to watch it because clearly there are people who actually like it but don't expect too much from it 'cause it ain't got a lot to give.br /Watch these two films, now these are funny! Girl Next Door, The [2004] Not Another Teen Movie [2001]

5 out of 5 stars Feast on this Pie   August 29, 2007
The scene is set with all four teenage boys realising that prom night is approaching fast and none of them have become men yet. Thay make a pact to lose their viginity before the big night ends.br /br /The visual humour flows thick and fast. Sit back and enjoy what you wish happened when you were 18, and at other times thank god did not happen when you were 18.br /br /The second and third installment do not match up to this, because this is fresh and new, whilst the next 2 build on the same joke.


4 out of 5 stars Grab A Piece Of Pie   September 11, 2006
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Get a piece of the action and grab a piece of pie. This film stars many mainstream actors such as Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Tara Reid and many more. American Pie is a comedy that proves that showing potentially real situations and potentially real decisions work and can be hilariously funny. If you haven't already seen this film - where have you been? - and if you have seen it, watch it again, and again as I believe it is great.


4 out of 5 stars AMERICAN PIE2   April 26, 2005
  0 out of 10 found this review helpful

The film is talking about family life in the United States the behaviour about young people towards their parents, their freedom of expression, and the subject of marriage. It is a film which shows the conversion of a young person, whose only interest was sex and who finally discovers his own positive dimensions. We would be delighted to see a new version of American Pie with mixed races or if not at least a new American Pie 4 with less sex
