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 ...

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 <take a deep breath> “Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy Which Can Be Made For Under $10 Million Which Studio Readers Will Most Likely Hate But I Think You Will ...

Advantages: Excellent film with funny moments galore! Disadvantages: Absolutely none!
...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! ...

Advantages: Good cast, script and very funny Disadvantages: If you don't like High School comedies maybe give it a miss
...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 ...

...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 ...

Advantages: Very Funny and a great update to the old frat films Disadvantages: Over too soon
...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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
