Why must we continue to endure the sick fantasies of loser Hollywood producers? One has to wonder why grown adults make films like this one and like the film Kids, which depict young people in vulgar, crude and obscene ways. If you protest the making of trash like American Pie-you are portrayed as some sort of right-wing censorship mongering individual. This is not the case for me. I enjoy films that show a healthy attitude toward sex and do not blush at the sight of nudity on screen. What is sad is that perverse people as the so-called creativity behind this tripe were able to put on screen some of the likely sick imaginings of their youth. I will not see the sequel-I saw enough of the first to know how poor of taste it will be. In an interview with shock film maker John Waters, he told the interviewer that he no longer made films to shock-because there were so many of them out there from mainstream Hollywood. Waters speaks truly. Don't waste your time with this, there are far too many good films that have and will be made about young people. When you pay to see stuff like this, it is the same as rewarding the folks who write obscene sayings on bathroom stalls. And up until 2001 were rewarded to the total tune of 201 plus million in total box-office receipts and video rentals and sales etcetera, that a hell of a lot of titillation. I would not be surprised if American Pie's producers were tops in this department while in high school.
The DVD itself:
Picture & Sound:
Well, the DVD is Anamorphic Widescreen. Hence the transfer is crisp and sharp. The Sound is Dolby 5.1 and all your Television Speakers are used well.
Extras:
This Region 2 DVD contains the cast and crew commentary, out-takes (the picture quality is horrible), production featurette, the original theatrical trailer, production notes, biographies and DVD-ROM features and the classic lines index.
