To Be Honest, I Liked "Porky's" Better.

Rating: 4/10 (6 February 2000)

"American Pie" takes a strikingly original premise and makes several interesting twists and turns with it. That is: A bunch of teenage boys want to get laid and end up getting caught in a few embarassing situations as a result.
No, there isn't a lot to this movie--indeed, it is an updated "Porky's"-type movie, with the exception that the characters in Porky's were better developed and this movie takes place at a high school only and with no real central conflicting "Porky"-type villain.
To the movie's credit, there are several great laughs in it--the jokes are in general quite original. It's just that they do not add together into anything of substance.
