Give me a slice!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2003)

'American Pie' is one of those rare comedies that fools you into thinking it's a gross-out pointless bomb. But it isn't, it's actually filled with tremendous heart. Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) are out to lose their virginity before their Senior year of High School is over. Along the way they get made fun of by Jock-Jerk Stifler (Seann William Scott) and seduced by forgien exchange students. While many gags are aimed torward teens the real stories lie in Kevin's difficulty in figuring out if he loves his girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid) or not. And Oz's shedding his Jock persona and signing up for Choir to prove to Heather (Mena Survari) how much she means to him. The ensemble cast (which includes Natasha Lyonne and Eugene Levy) also makes the movie such a joy to watch In the end, the adolecent mischief and curiousity regarding sex becomes unlikely entertainment for teens that are going through it and adults who want to remember.
RATING: *** out of ****
