It's hilarious -- That's all that matters!

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 1999)

I saw the film a couple of weeks ago at a test screening and I have to say that the negative reviews here are unfounded. Maybe the film isn't very intellectual and resorts to some "bathroom" humor, but I don't go to comedies to be enriched as a human being - I go to laugh. So far this year, I have not seen a funnier movie than "American Pie," and that includes "Austin Powers 2." When it was over, I actually felt satisfied - when's the last time you could say that after watching a movie? It's been a while. I don't see how these people can trash a film that actually delivers. Trash "Instinct," sure, but not this. Much as I hate to put money into the studio that gave us "Patch Adams," I plan to buy a ticket and see "American Pie" again. Seeing such a fall-down funny movie with a large, loud audience is an experience in itself.
