The first slice

Rating: 9/10 (12 July 2014)

Ah the first time. In 1999, American Pie joined an elite club of teen comedies that would forever be remembered as classics in the genre. Not since Porky's, had a movie been as more outrageous as American Pie, and the fact is that the late 90's generation had a movie to sort of label them, but not in a negative way.
The story follows a group of four teenage boys (Jim, Kevin, Oz and Finch), who pledge to lose their virginity, but things aren't as easy as they might seem. Jim is a bumbling buffoon who gets embarrassed talking to girls and listening to his father's awkward sexual advice. Kevin is dating Vicki, but has trouble balancing his feelings for her and his desire to have sex with her. Oz, after a college girl rejects him and gives him pointers, is looking to bring his sensitive side and ends up falling for Heather. And Finch finds a way to spread rumors about himself in school, but things don't turn out the way he planned.
In all of these individuals, the raunchy, hilarious and sometimes even sexy situations will make you fall on the floor with laughter. However what I also love about this movies is that the characters evolve and actually face teen, and later adult, complications. As for this movie, it is my second favorite of the 4 movies, as American Pie 2 is my favorite. Still this first slice of pie, will always have a special taste for me.
Rating 9,5/10
