Our take on American Pie

Paul Weitz's 1999 comedy became a defining teen-sex farce by mixing crude gags with unexpected warmth. Four high-school friends discover that shedding their collective virginity is harder than they assumed, yet remain convinced they must manage it before college. To spur themselves on, they strike a pact to each "score" by senior prom, setting up a run of embarrassments, misfires and hard lessons about sex and friendship. The film balances raunch with a genuine affection for its awkward hero and his friends. It suits viewers who enjoy broad, unashamed teen comedy from its era and don't mind explicit humor. Come for the outrageous set pieces, stay for the camaraderie.
