Funniest movie of the year

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 1999)

American Pie is what great teen films should be and what they once were. In a time when lame films like She's All That and Varsity Blues portray teens in an unrealistic and insulting fashion, American Pie gives an honest look at teenagers and their thoughts about sex. However, not only are the characters actually believable as typical teenagers, but the movie presents itself an a hilarious fashion. This movie contains some of the crudest jokes I've seen, but they all work, and it's actually plausible that teenagers might do these things. The acting and dialogue are questionable at times, but one thing is for sure--this movie is filled with non-stop laughter. For once a (teen) movie that is 1) realistic 2) filled with jokes that actually make you laugh out loud and 3) enjoyable for both teens and adults...just don't watch this with your parents. As a teenager myself, I haven't laughed this hard since There's Something About Mary, I don't plan to again all year. Sex, nudity, and countless masturbation jokes, what else could you ask for in a movie?
