I'm surprise how good the movie still is!

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2020)

I hadn't seen American Pie since I was a teen, so with this whole quarantine going on, and a lot of time to spend I was like "screw it I'm gonna re watch the whole saga (?)". And I'm gonna be honest, I went to this movie not expecting much, after all, is a 95 minutes long teen comedy that's already 21 years old. But man, it's still pretty good!
In the end, I think is fair to call it a "classic" of R rated teen comedies, since it inspired a bunch of other movies all throughout the 2000's. And it's well deserved, some few jokes didn't age that well, but it's probably one or two moments. But overall, the movie is pretty funny! At first, I didn't exactly like the characters, but after 20/30 minutes you kind get behind most of them, I think Kevin might be the only one I didn't exactly was rooting for. Oz has some kind of an arc, which is cool, and the scenes of Jim with his dad are just pure gold. Eugene Levy destroys here, and steals the show.
Of course, some parts of it probably wouldn't get made today (like the whole sequence broadcasting the girl in Jim's room). I think that it doesn't have to take the movie's credit of been funny. You have to always stay open minded to judge how something used to be done, and see why it was wrong and how we can improve moving forward. I just think that when you analyze a movie you should always try to consider the it was made, and the circumstances around it. If you think about it, she was masturbating in a strange's house, so, well, she wasn't that less of a creepie.
Anyways, at the end, is a movie with sex jokes, about some dudes getting laid, but is also a bit about friendship which I thought was cool. 99% of people that watch it, are probably gonna want to laugh and not think about anything else, and for that, this movie is perfect, is 21 years old, but still so funny. As we would say here in brazil, is a "besteirol" classic.
Obs: Just wanna point out some of my favorite specific moments: Man, the pie scene! Lol, that's probably my favorite interaction of him and his dad (that and the "I want you to be careful when you put... the croissant"); Stifler's mom saying "I have an aged 18 whisky... just how I like it" is just pure gold; The whole storyline which Finch and the rumors are great too.
