How can such an awful movie make so much money?

Rating: 1/10 (9 August 2001)

American Pie was undoubtedly a huge success financially. It gave hope to the struggling teen comedy genre and for the past two years we've had to endure rip-offs even worse than this. The movie feels as fake and tasteless as a Mcdonald's pie, with almost no genuine comedic moments. Worst yet, near the end we get a moment where our hero, Jim says he's sick of talking about sex and isn't so excited to have it anymore, while the supporting characters nod their heads in agreement. The moral about taking time to have sex is particularly pretentious in a movie like this, and is even more undermined by the fact that they all have sex in the last 15 minutes. Jason Biggs, as we have seen recent films can barely carry a film without humping a pie, and his career is already burning out. Unfortunately, American Pie 2 will be released this week, which is sure to make a lot of money. American Pie not only stands as a vastly overrated movie, but one of the worst to ever inspire a sequel.
