Hardly a classic.

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2003)

I avoided this one as long as I could, finally a friend insisted that I watch it. My review?
OK-it's not bad. I gave it a 6(and that was being kind). So yes there are some funny parts to this movie. You may laugh. And YES I thought the legendary "pie scene" was funny, very funny actually, and laughed along with millions of other people.
However, that said American Pie is run of the mill, typical and not really a terrific movie. Hundreds of comedies are funnier and after seeing this, I can't say I particularly remember much about it or would have cared at all had I not seen it.
It does have some funny moments and it isn't as bad as I thought it would be at all. The humor is there at times. But there are a lot of other teen comedies that are more genunely unforgettable.
The single best comedy for young people is "fast times at richmond high." This can't come close.
Like I said, It's not unwatchable, merely typical. Many Many better comedies out there.
