Steve Stifler is the franchise!

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2005)

American Pie is a classic coming of age story about four boys who can't stand the idea of graduating high school as virgins. This movie contains a lot of crude sexual humour that is obviously not suitable for young children but it may come across the wrong way to certain non-open-minded adults. As most movies have sex scenes these days, this movie actually contains two oral sex scenes (although obviously no sensitive body parts are shown: no worries for the littluns, but why would they be watching anyway)?
The film is low-budget, but the story flows well and the characters are down to earth (and so damn funny!) Seann William Scott is absolutely head-over-heals hilarious as the obnoxious Steve Stifler. If you own the DVD or VHS, you may want to rewind and view some of these priceless Stifler scenes over and over again:
1.) Stifler asks if the boys are coming to his party.
2.) Stifler greets Vicky, Jessica and Sherman at the party.
3.) Stifler comments on Oz' failed attempt to hook up with a college
girl (party).
4.) Stifler has some pale ale (party).
5.) Nadiavision (the monkey adds to this one).
6.) Oz practising his duet in the showers after lacrosse and Stifler's response.
7.) Stifler's revenge on Finch (Finch in the can).
There are more, but those are all I can remember.
Eugene Levy plays Jim's "open about sex" father. I felt that his embarrassing discussions with Jim were not funny to say the least (though they were intended to be), but some people liked them.
Tara Reid is her usual "hot" self in this movie, and Natasha Lyonne looks good as well.
The acting is not as horrible as people say. Chris Klein's (Oz) lines seemed a little forced in some places, but he made up for them with some of his other scenes.
This movie can be watched over and over again and enjoyed as much as the very first time. If you enjoy sexual humour (which most of us do: some won't admit it though), this is the movie for you.
This movie was followed up by two sequels that I'm sorry to say were not very good, but they are worth watching just to see what Stifler will do or say next.
The unrated DVD of American Pie has a crapload of bonus features, so as Ferris Bueller would say:
"If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up!"
