A Solid Slice of the Pie

Rating: 8/10 (23 March 2020)

I finally after many years got around to checking out the American Pie films. After watching the first one, I can easily say it's a solid film and while it's targeted for mostly teenagers, adults can definitely get a kick out of it as well.
The first movie is about a group of teenagers, Jim (Jason Biggs), Ozzy (Chris Klein), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) are getting close to the end of their seinor year in high school. Steve Stifler (Sean William Scott) throws a crazy party and they realize they are unprofessional at getting with chicks. So they decide to create a pact that they can get a date and lose their virginity by prom or by the end of their high school year.
I thought this was a solid comedy. All the actors did a great job, the story was nice and simple, and although the humor revolves around sex and dirty jokes, it all worked and was lazily thrown in. Jason Biggs did a great job playing Jim, Klein and Ian Nicholas were pretty good as Ozzy and Kevin, Eddie Kaye Thomas was hilarious as Finch, and while Stifler is supposed to be an unlikable jerk, Sean William Scott did a very great and funny job as the role. You also have Eugene Levy as Jim's Dad, Noah. Although I'm not a huge fan of Eugene Levy, he did a fine job at playing the father and giving Jim bizarre tips of advice.
Overall, American Pie was a solid and funny comedy that teenagers will love and adults can get a kick out of it as well.
