American Pie- Comedic Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2020)

There are sex comedies that you may sit down and laugh your guts out at just as hard as American Pie. Most of those films however, will leave you at the theater exit. Such is not the case for American Pie. This is a one of the rarest films I've ever seen that has the ability to gross you out one minute, have your stomach hurting from laughing the next minute, take you to emotional depths that will connect with you on a personal level the next minute, and then the next minute, do all three. This film doesn't just aim to gross you out or make you laugh. The film is so genuine and there is a connection between that cast that oozes off the screen and into the audience. I first saw this film when I was five years out of high school, and my only disappointment after finishing it was that I never caught it in high school with my buddies. I graduated in 09 so it was a few years past the American Pie craze, but I immediately felt a connection to the East Great Falls class of 99, and would have given anything to have been high school age sitting in a theater that summer. This film may not be everyones cup of tea, if you went to high school at all however, there will be at least one moment in this film that speaks to you.
