American Pie - 1999

Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas

Easily the funniest movie all summer. I'm not kidding. This movie answered SO many of my questions about the male sex. It also gave blatant reasons why I am usually unattracted to guys my own age.

Four guys, make a pact to lose their virginity before prom. Or at prom, to be exact. Only one of them is in a relationship, which means that his biggest complaint is that he's put 'months of quality time' in with his girlfriend but she hasn't put out yet. Damn her for wanting to wait. No, that's not it...she's just a moron! Oh...how explanatory.

Oz, who is a jock, decides that when his line of 'suck me, beautiful' doesn't pan out, he'll have to go the sensitive route. So he joins Jazz Choir. How sweet.

Jim invites the foreign exchange student to his house and then broadcasts her undressing over the internet. What a man.

Finch pays a girl 200 dollars to spread his reputation around. Of course, it's a pack of lies, but he doesn't need truth in his life. He just needs sex and a finely aged whiskey.

The other guy, whose name I didn't bother to remember, is the one in the relationship with a moron.

This is a quirky, funny movie. How many of them do you think get laid? Well, I'm not going to tell you.

Scenes of note in this movie: Jim decides that sex is like warm apple pie. So much like warm apple pie that he decides to ravish a...warm apple pie. Hetrosexuality, heterosexuality, beastiality, pastryality? His father walks in. What an embarrassment.

The one with the moron comes into a glass of beer. The biggest jock of them all, with the unfortunate name of Stifler, drinks it. MmM Mmm! Tastes like Marshmallows.

Jim's father attempts to explain the female form using Hustler and Shaved. This is why American men are frustrated, because those women only exist in a digitally enhanced world.

Finch finally learns how to potty at school. Yet he decides on the female washroom as the classroom of choice.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Willow extolls the virtues of band camp. 'What's my name, bitch?'

There are more intellectually stimulating movies out there, yet this one was strangely fulfilling. Worth my money in the first half-hour for sure. These young guys have a future in Hollywood, because strangely enough, they are all good actors. I would be more impressed, but when you're a hormonal, sex-crazed teenager, it's not that hard to play a hormonal, sex-crazed teenager.

My advice: Good in the theatre, but you can wait until the video is out. Your choice, but don't miss it. This piece of Americana is just enlightening.
