A hit for a teenager but a flop for an Adult.

Rating: 5/10 (19 June 1999)

Four Young men explore the wonders and challenges of sex in this comedy about growing up. The story follows these men as they make a pact to loose their virginity before graduating high school and quickly learn that it is easier said than done.
American Pie is a very raw and graphic film and can be disturbing at times. For most young adults the movie will come off as hilarious and good while most adults will find it repulsive and degrading. I sat in a theater between two other critics from another local media firm and a group of recent high school graduates. While one group cringed at the raw nature of the story the other cheered and yelled profusely. The movie completely butchers the idea of "love" and pushes on the idea of sex rules all. This movie will be a huge success among the young and a huge point of argument among the adults. If you have a week stomach i would not recommend this movie under any circumstances. On a scale from 1 to 5 tickets I would give this movie a 5 just because it depends on your age and maturity level whether you will like this movie or not.
