A new era

Rating: 7/10 (21 July 2009)

With American Pie a new era of Teen comedies began. In the Porkys tradition (sort of), this revitalized a sub-genre, that seemed derived of new ideas. But the mix of characters, their story (promise/oath to each other) and their embarrassments to achieve said goal(s), a new breed was born.
While the showing of flesh (naked body/ies) seemed to be a problem for the censors in America, the movie got a "12" (equivalent to the PG-13 in America) rating in Germany, in it's "unrated" form. Some of the stars seemed to have a bright feature ahead of them, but most of them didn't do anything. The most popular one, although not represented much in the first installment, was Sean William Scott (aka Stiffler). Shannon Elizabeth and Co. kind of "dissapeared" after a while and don't seem to make many movies nowadays.
But that doesn't take away the fun that you can have with this movie. So if you're not too prude, just go ahead and watch this. Despite all the sexual gags, this still got a heart
