absolutely hysterical

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 1999)

With all of the teen/young adult crap movies that have come out in past few summers (for example, Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer), I went into this movie expecting to be highly disappointed. However, after watching American Pie in the Theather, my rib cage still aches from laughing as though the theater had been pumped with nitrous oxide. Rest assured this movie won't go to far into changing your view on the world, but its what modern comedy is all about, good old raunchy American humor. It mocks a stage in each person's life that is naturally awkward, the "first time", with such frankness and a handful of ridiculous comic anecdotes that you can't help but scream along with the other howling patrons in theater. Klein is supposed to be another Keanu Reeves, but frankly in this one movie as Oz he's proven to be a better actor. And Jim's antics throughout the movie could carry the movie if it had to.
