American Pie (DVD)

...the topic a bad name, American Pie quietly sweeps in and gives sex some of its dignity back. Dignity, you may say? How can a film that highlights intercourse with fruit pies, premature ejaculation broadcasted across the Internet and the gratuitous "gross-out" shots restore the dignity of a genre that's been encumbered with such heavyweights as Porky's and Losin' It? The plot may be typical, with four high school friends swearing to "score" by prom ...
...cast, successful and sweet humour and some actually rather retro values about the meaning and importance of sex. Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Eddie Kaye Thomas make up the odd quartet of pals determined to woo, lie and beg their way to manhood. The young women they pursue are wary girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid), choir girl Heather (Mena Suvari), band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and just about any other female who is willing ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

...All they said is watch American pie. Now I know what they meant and apart from that it is a really great movie. The problem is that it is aimed at my age range and some of the older generations may find it infantile humour but it really is brilliant. I apologise in advance for the terms I use with reference to sex, as that is the topic of the movie. Ok the plot is pretty simple. At a party there are four guys about my age (18) who are virgins. Then ...
...with a girl boasting he is now a man they decide to take drastic steps to get laid before the end of the Senior year. Basically it follows these guys as they attempt to find the right woman with which to do it. This often has hilarious consequences involving web cams and apple pies. You have to see it to believe it. Whether the guys come out on top – well you will just have to watch the movie to see. The acting is really excellent from a young ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

Bye, Bye Miss American Pie, one thing is for sure you will never see a warm Apple Pie in the same way after this!! The basic plot of the film is four high school seniors make a bonding pack to lose their virginity before their senior’s prom in three weeks time. Each try different methods of how to get a girl. Jim, played by Jason Biggs is very desperate and will try anything to lose ‘it’, but is very curious about his sexuality. ...
...is trying to help but as dads do when giving these intimate chats it gets very embarrassing. Jim then turns to the foreign exchange student from Europe for a more exotic look, but eventually he has to settle for a slightly nerdy girl who talks constantly about band camp, but surprises everyone in the end. Oz, (Chris Klein) is the popular person, very good looking, fit and cool, but his kind heated side comes out when he joins the school choir. Originally ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

Is there anyone who hasn't watched this film? For those poor unfortunates, here's the basic run-down. Four guys, can't get laid, make a pact to lose virginity, lots of comic japes along the way, obligatory toilet scene and supreme athlete shows sensitive side and gets the girl. Must include loads of cool songs so they can make an official soundtrack CD. It's been done loads of times, from the Lemon Popsicle series, through Porky's and onto National ...
...Well, while it is a comedy that does focus on sex, it does it with some really sparkling bits, that probably have more than a grain of truth in them. What truth's say some of you? I've never humped a pie, says every bloke. Well neither have I. But would I have thought about it if put in the same situation as Jim? I think it would have crossed my mind. I wouldn't have gone as far as Jim, but it would have flown through my mind. And is there any bloke ...

...this piece. When American Pie was released in 1999, we were all talking about the dessert that had been treated to a sexual encounter with a teenage boy. While undoubtedly that scene was one of the more publicised scenes in the movie, it is certainly not the highlight of the film. The whole film is based around four young boys determination to lose their virginity before prom night and the trials and tribulations associated with it. There is only ...

She, played by Tara Reid, wants the sex to be perfect, whereas he just wants to get laid. Kevin appeared to the guys to talk big but in truth, he was only talking and was, in my opinion, the more moany of the characters. Chris Klein played the sporty guy who, through a newly discovered love of singing, found his ...

Review of American Pie (DVD)

American Pie was the first DVD I ever bought. In hindsight, my first DVD purchase was not bad at all. The film itself is a hilarious comedy, starring Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Thomas Ian Nicholas as four 'unlucky in love' teenagers who make a pact to lose their viriginity by prom night. The film follows their attempts, which always seem to lead to hilarious moments. One, who fails to make it with a foreign exchange student, ...
...why the film is called American Pie! Also - check out the cameo of Blink 182 in one of the scenes The DVD contains only English Language with Subtitles in English only, but the soundtrack is Dolby Digital 5.1, and the quality of sound is very good. The picture is as 1.85:1 Anamorphic production, and displays excellent quality throughout. The extra features contained on the disc are also of a high standard (in most cases). The feature length commentary ...

Their main task is made all the more difficult by the fact that they are hopeless with women and even though one of them has a girlfriend, he manages to lose her before the night is over. The desperate and often sad attempts at wooing the ladies of the ...

...There are tons of great American bands on their like, Bic runga, Tonic, the Super Transatlantic and Dishwalla. The film is laughs from start to finish. The beginning sees Jim played by Jason Biggs - also in Loser(Wheatus video as well), playing Jim, the crazy, sexually inexperience 18 year old.

Review of American Pie (DVD)

What strikes me about this film is that it's really not about sex - that's just for the immature of you. What this film really is about is the sentimental side and power of sex, it shouldn't be given away willy-nilly but carefully and cautiously. This film is quite a moral story, the sex just serves as comedy. Comedy in the funniest sense, this film is one of the funniest if you ignore the morality of it. The film starts off introducing a rathe ...
...- he's masterbating and his parents walk in. This scene is my favourite and will be yours for a lot of you! The guys parents are also hilarious because they are just so ignorant to their son's "realisations." Well, the storyline is that 4/5 guys decide to lose their virginity by prom night: they start off concerned about the physicality of sex but by the end of the film, it touches on romantical. A great movie which is really brought into its own ...

...In case you havn't heard, American pie was the big film of '99. A 'Porkys' for the nineties, it follows a group of desperate hormonal teenagers who make a pact to lose their cherry's before prom night is out. As you can guess all does not go to plan and a series of hilarious consequences ensue with the now infamous 'warm apple pie' scene providing one of funniest moments of nineties cinema. The cast is strong, and the gags flow freely and frequently ...

The DVD: It comes bundled with the usual array of features; theatrical trailers, scene selection, multiple languages, plus it also contains a series of outakes from filming (none of which are particularly funny), and acces to the movies best tracks from the exceptional music score. Picture is crisp with good colour definition and the sound ...
