No classic... (SPOILERS)

Rating: 5/10 (26 July 2000)

Yeah, it's got an attractive, charismatic cast and some good laughs, but too many scenes just waste away with no punchline. Although I'll admit the flute comment had me rolling on the floor for a good twenty minutes, and Eugene Levy is wonderful. And the webcam scene is so sexist, but still pretty hysterical. But its portrayal of horny teens and the loss of virginity has none of the dark, ultra-realistic complexity of Fast Times, which proves this subject matter can be both funny and honest. American Pie doesn't even try, which I guess is okay to most teens, since this made a load at the box office. Oh well, maybe I'm just getting old...
5/10
