Eh, Superbad is much better

Rating: 6/10 (8 December 2019)

Now don't get me wrong, American Pie is not a bad movie, it's pretty decent actually, however I will say that it hasn't aged very well. It is undeniably funny in some parts and it certainly has its special charm, but the acting and characters aren't that great besides maybe the Stiffmeister and the Sherminator. It was an enjoyable, but also forgettable comedy of the 90's and there are obviously much better comedies out there, like The Forty Year Old Virgin, Superbad, Pineapple Express, There's Something About Mary and even Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I had some good laughs, but overall not that memorable, aside from a few iconic scenes and performances. The film isn't even close to being awful, but it's not great either. Nonetheless, it's still a lot better than all of Adam Sandler's recent movies and the Seltzer & Friedburg parody films. My final verdict and rating: The first American Pie is a decent, if unremarkable comedy movie. 6.5/10
