A well rounded AND complete teen movie

Rating: 9/10 (5 March 2005)

As a huge fan of teen-comedy type flicks it's no surprise that i highly rate this movie.The plot is that of one which a 16 year old can highly identify with.Why? Simply because this film quite accurately depicts the life and behaviors of (perhaps ALL) teenagers.
I recently read a comment made about this film (a negative one) and i found myself developing the image of an insecure 35 year old who had no fun at high school, irregardless of this, how can someone be watching "American Pie" for the first time in 2002...American Pie 2 was already released then...Behind the times, yes, perhaps.
Overall to come onto IMDb and write a review of what IS a "CLASSIC" and the "STANDARD" for any teen movie to this date is just quite funny actually, i have met many types of people with all kinds of personalities and not heard one thing wrong or negative about this film.I do not believe in comparing one teen movie to another because each are their own films, with their own plots/sub-plots, one liners etc etc.But in order to accurately draw up some sort of conclusion and/or list of titles in order of the better, then this must be done AND as much as i love the "PIE" Series of films i have many other favorites that in my opinion don't add up to feel as fresh and funny as the "PIE's" but FUNNY they very much are.
If you watch this movie and feel totally disgusted/disappointed/bored/sick/revolted/annoyed even, well think of this, MAYBE it's something to do with YOU and your personality, remember this IS entertainment, NOT REAL LIFE! If it were it would be totally boring.
A lot of people (Peeete from UK for one) say the creators were being dishonest etc about the story and it's world far from reality!? What did you do with your friends at school? i agree there is a lack of real behaviors i.e bullying etc but if you take time to hear what the film-makers have to say you will realize you are out of your own depth, Adam Herz clearly states in the "making of..." that his school-life and friends had an "OMAGE" feel to it....The point i am making is MY SCHOOL felt like this....Yes some people hate each other BUT it's cast away in the shadows when you bring to light the "togetherness" feel everyone has.American Pie : Stifler is the (somewhat more verbal less physical) bully.It's all there for your "real world" eyes to see but when you directly compare this Flick to your actual life then YOU ARE OF COURSE GOING TO BE Disappointed! Comdeies are made for laughs, i laughed, a lot, therefore this is a pretty damn good comedy, i just wish that in the real-world where we all live more people could just let themselves go when watching a film of this genre, instead of getting all worked up over a movie about a dude who screws a pie :) ********* out of **********
9 out of 10 because life just isn't perfect!
