Can't Hardly Wait To Get Laid.

Rating: 5/10 (11 May 2001)

(spoilers) American Pie is yet another goofy teenage comedy full of trashy sex jokes and idiot kids trying to get together with beautiful girls, and in the end, it works for everyone except that weird red-headed guy. I'm so sick and tired of movies like this, and if Sean William Scott had not been in this movie, there would not have been a single funny part in it. American Pie is an exploitative film that takes advantage of the vast amounts of immaturity readily found in modern audiences.
I'll admit that I laughed at the movie, but it's the kind of laugh that lasts for seconds, and as soon as it's over, it's never funny again. You actually feel cheated because after you watch the movie you can look back and you realize how dumb the jokes really are. Except, of course, for the scene at the very end when Steve Stifler walks into the basement of his house after the party (`Mom? Shi*brick?!'). THAT will NEVER stop being funny.
I don't want to give the impression that I feel that this movie was pounded out in five minutes with no thought and then thrown into production just to make money, because I realize that on some levels, maybe one or two, it is quality comedy. But on all other levels, make no mistake, this is fast-food cinema. It may be fun to watch, but there's no nutritional value.
