    I hated it very much, this kind of film makes me sad for all the talent that goes wasted.

    "There's something about your first piece."

    Four teenage boys enter a pact to lose their virginity by prom night.

    REVIEW

    The end of high school is an awkward time. Some people don't know how to handl...( read more)e relationships into college, some people are just trying to get into college, but the most important thing to take care of is to of course have sex before you leave high school. So important, well, at least according to American Pie, the surprise hit of 1999 that is funny, even if it's priorities are in the wrong place. I guess we do have to give the movie credit, it does feature high schoolers who are still virgins, something that few movies still acknowledge. Jason Biggs plays Jim, a confused teenager who does not quite play the whole social scene perfectly, but is an overall nice guy. His friends are Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thoman Ian Nicholas), and Paul (Eddie Kaye Thomas), with a passing acquaintance with Stifler (Seann William Scott, in the role that made him). Stifler is that jock in high school that it was an honor to have him know your name. As prom day approaches, the stresses of the senior days of high school get to all of the friends and the comedy takes off from there. The movie does have a fresh look at how teens today deal with life, and does have crude comedy that is unthinkable, but you know what, I'm sure somewhere it happened to someone. Eugene Levy plays the father in a perfect role for him, he covers the uncomfortable parts of raising a growing boy well. If you like these brands of comedy, then this one is for you.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It casts actors who look plausible and treats sex with honesty and no apologies. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Adam Herz's script is wildly uneven but occasionally quite funny. full review

May 11, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Paul Weitz, who never directed before; Chris Weitz - his brother - who never produced before; and Adam Herz, who never wrote a screenplay before, have cooked up two hilarious hours of impure pow. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
