Movie Reviews of American Pie - Unrated (Widescreen Collector's Edition)

Movie Review: The joy of growing up. Women, Parties, and Pie.
Summary: 4 Stars

Jim, Oz, Kevin, and Finch. Four 18 year old virgins on a quest to break the curse. After having gone through another one of Stifler's parties without getting laid, they decide to make a pact. A pact that by Prom, they will all have gotten some tail. Within those 3 weeks though, nothing goes as planned. Jim (Jason Biggs) makes a fool of himself in front of his dream girl and actually all of his school, thanks to the Internet. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nichols) can't get past the `L' word so he can round third base with his girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid). Oz (Chris Klein) tries to hard with cheesy lines, and we he is himself, Stifler (Sean William Scott) and his rude ways screws it up for him even then. And then there is Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), who is a little too sophisticated for his high school peers and has to lie about himself to hopefully get laid. As everything is going wrong for them, and time is nearing an end, they begin to realize that sex isn't everything.

Man I remember when this movie came out and how much I laughed at the theaters... hard. 10 years later American Pie still holds up, but honestly it feels a lot tamer now than it did. A lot of movies now have pushed the limit even farther than American Pie did such as how American Pie pushed it farther than say Porky's or Animal House. The movie is still very funny though so don't think I'm saying it's not. The scenes between Jim and his father are still uncomfortably embarrassing laughable just like the first time. Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) is still smokingly hot also...hehe. And Stifler is still crazy and is still one of my favorite characters in the movie. I just love how non-caring he is.

In the end I would definitely own this movie. It definitely has its crude moments, but I still feel it's a littler tamer than the comedies that are like this that are out now.

P.S. - What did you do to yourself Tara Reid? You used to be a goddess!

Summary of American Pie - Unrated (Widescreen Collector's Edition)

A riotous and rowdy exploration of the most eagerly anticipated and ofter most humiliationg rite of adulthood losing ones virginity. In this hilarious lesson in life and libido a group of friends try a different but equally outrageous approach to scoring with the opposite sex. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/24/2004 Starring: Jason Biggs Tara Reid Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Ur Director: Paul Weitz
Anyone who's watched just about any teenage film knows that the greatest evil in this world isn't chemical warfare, ethnic cleansing, or even the nuclear bomb. The worst crime known to man? Why, virginity, of course. As we've learned from countless films--from Summer of '42 to Risky Business--virginity is a criminal burden that one must shed oneself of as quickly as possible. And while many of these films have given 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, yet the film rises above the muck with its superior cast, successful and sweet humor, 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 and able. Natasha Lyonne as Jessica, playing a similar role as in Slums of Beverly Hills, is the general adviser to the crowd (when Vicky tells her "I want it to be the right time, the right place," Jessica responds, "It's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex"). The comedic timing hits the mark--especially in the deliberately awkward scenes between Jim (Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy). And, of course, lessons are learned in this genuinely funny film, which will probably please the adult crowd even more than it will the teenage one. --Jenny Brown
