Review of American Pie (DVD)

American Pie is my favourite film, and I have watched it on numerous occasions, I could probably play a part in it because I know most of the lines off by heart. I know it's sad, but what can I say, I'm easily amused. American Pie is a typical High School Teen comedy, which focuses on 4 high school mates, who make a pact to loose their virginity before their prom night. Sounds like a pretty boring film doesn't it? Well it is far from boring; American ...
...the four virgin guys in American Pie it is the total opposite. Each one of them takes a different approach with the ladies to try and fulfil their goal of losing their virginity before the prom. Jim Levenstein (Jason Briggs) is the main character in the film, and most of the embarrassing funny scenes evolve around him. Jim is quite a shy person who will try anything in order to loose his virginity. I thought that one of the funniest scenes in the ...

...----------------- WHY AMERICAN PIE? ----------------- Well I always wondered why they called this film “American Pie” (that was until the one specific scene in the film that explains it all!). Apparently though the film was initially going to be called “Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy Which Can Be Made For Under $10 Million Which Studio Readers Will Most Likely Hate But I Think You Will Love”. ...thankful they ditched that for American Pie! ------- PREMISE ------- Basically it revolves are 4 school boys who all happen to be virgins. They all promise each other to lose their virginity before graduating from high school. That’s about it really. It sounds really simple and it is. Its simplicity adds to the film greatly. The characters each acted brilliantly to portray their frustration (and humiliation most of the time!). Humiliation ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

...budget for the hugely successful American Pie was just $11m?! Yes, that’s all it took to bring this great film to the world. I was listening to the commentary on the DVD recently, which I really do urge anyone else to do, it’s really quite funny and I was intrigued as they were always mentioning the budget, telling us that to have an extra actually say something instead of just being involved in a scene was going to blow their budget! ...
...I can. Directors Paul and Chris Weitz bought us a film that will be remembered for ages, a film that will sit gracefully on the shelves of most film fanatics like myself. A fair few people slammed the movie for it’s stupidity and corny scenes, but I for one love it along with loads of other people across the nation and world. It goes down as one of my all time favourite comedy films, and I’ve watched a fair few, believe me! The tagline? ...

...comedies of recent time and American Pie is probably a film that the majority of people have now seen. It is one of those films that regardless of how many times you have seen it, it still has the ability to keep you laughing. In that respect it is a very good all round comedy and while the High School setting will inevitably have put people off watching it, this really shouldn't be the case. Yes the subject matter is a little bit crass but I think ...
...direct About A Boy and American Dreamz it seems to have really made a name for him. He lets the cast blend together well and one he gets the group dynamic he was clearly looking for the film works all the better for it. Rather than rely on huge budgets and special effects, he gathered a group of up and coming actors and moulded them into the story in the way he clearly imagined the film should look. In fact it worked so well that the same dynamic ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

...give comedy ago. Im reviewing American Pie (1) directed by Paul and Chris Wietz, and starring Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan and many more teen actors. The film was released in 1999, and grossed well over $225 million. Now as most people no, this film spawned many more sequels, ive seen the other two, but they've made a few more low budget one's too, however the original cast are not in these extra films. For me the first film ...
...was so original. I think American Pie set a trend for the future teenage movies to come out in cinemas. The film was bold in the sense that it discussed some controversial issues, which parents might find wrong, but simply put it was a topic that so many high school teenagers would relate to. They made sex seem so funny, and wasn't a taboo. The characters and scenes within the film were brilliant, the film just sort of flowed together, and it wasn't ...

...and it’s better than ever. American Pie shows all the classic traits of great college films, with many improvements to bring it up to date. The plot centres around four high school friends, Jim, Kevin, Paul and Oz. They are hardly among the high school elite, and their sex lives are non-existent. With only a few weeks until their high school prom they decide that the time has come for their virginity to disappear, and they make a pact to all ...
...ladies. Plot American Pie is the first film of it’s type in a long time, therefore all the jokes were new, this aids the way the film progresses as it’s neither old hat or predictable. But to me there is one big difference between American Pie and the old frat films, the girls. In older films the girls were characterless, totally devoid of any drive of their own. Their sole purpose in the film was to be there as sexual objects. In American ...

Hello People! Well I’m back in the land of the living (sort of), I’ve got my backside into gear, kicked Rachael of the computer and put together the finishing touches of this opinion. I wrote this a while ago, but never got round to posting it on Ciao. I re-opened it the other day, and what a sight. The opinion was crap, no plot, no nothing. So I’ve just re-wrote and kept a few small pieces of the original text. CAST: Jim—Jason Biggs Oz---Chris ...
...by Paul and Chris Weitz ‘American Pie’ is one of the funniest films I have ever saw, crude, sickly and a little bit naughty, just my kind of humour. Yes, this film scrapes the barrel for it’s humour but it’s right up my street. ‘There’s Something about Mary’ with a twist, a teenage, acne filled twist. Marvellous! The storyline looks at a group of four high school friends that are unlucky in love. After a few hilarious, cringe worthy scenes the ...

American Pie is about 4 high school guys who are all virgins. At a party they make a pat that they will all lose their virginity before they graduate. The movie takes you through how they choose their prom dates, and the research they do into sex, so that they are ready for the big night. They all go through humiliation and frustration as they work up to the big night, which does not happen for them all. The film is about four friends, Jim (Jason ...
...(Eddie Kaye Thomas). The movie also stars Stiffler (Seann William Scott), Jessica (Natasha Lyonne), Vicki (Tara Reid), and Heather (Mena Suvari). A little about the characters: Jim is the main character in the movie (and the other 2 movies that follow). He knows very little about women and gets shy in front of them and ends up doing stupid things and embarrassing himself. Kevin is in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend Vicki. Although ...

American Pie is a wicked film. I saw a trailer for it at the cinema and decided there and then that I was definitely gonna go and see it. It looked amazing and side-splittingly funny! The actors are fantastic, and although the story line isn’t amazing, the witty characters will have you in constant fits of laughter. It’s rated 15 and is a hilarious comedy that oozes sex. There is occasional strong language and a whole load of sex and ...

He has no idea what to do when it comes to girls, it’s so funny as he tries so hard. Firstly he attempts to sleep with Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). She’s Eastern-European and every guy would want to sleep with her. Jim completely messes it up. Nadia goes round his house ...

Any ways the story line is about these lads that decide to make a pact about one thing! This was to get laid before they officially finish college. The question is would they all mange to do this or not? They then all try different tactics on what they should do to try and make girls more attractive. Some of them may work and some ...

Now given the furore surrounding the release of the aforementioned 'American Pie' you'd perhaps expect a film fanatic like my good self to have skipped merrily to the DVD emporium and picked up a copy as quickly as possible - wrong. But why the apathy Neilston? Surely you'd be insane NOT to spend your hard earned pennies on ...
...rocks off? Ok so American Pie (AP hereafter) is a 'teen' movie and as such it could fall into the same trap as all those hideous 50's 'teen' movies where all girls wore fluffy sweaters and were wholesome and all blokes were either jocks or nerds. In fact that's pretty much how blokes have always been portrayed in 'teen' movies and AP is little different. A world away from the wholesome 50's, AP is seemingly concerned with just one thing: sex. However ...
