Critics Consensus: So embarrassing it's believable, American Pie succeeds in bringing back the teen movie genre.

Another giggly gross-out comedy for teenagers, this one somewhat better than most by virtue of a more satisfying ending.
A crude piece of work, spottily acted and directed.
More likely to gross out adults than kids.
It takes almost 30 intolerably slack minutes to set it up and get it rolling.
It casts actors who look plausible and treats sex with honesty and no apologies.
Adam Herz's script is wildly uneven but occasionally quite funny.
There are some fine comedic moments that still shine, despite "American Pie" being pretty forgettable...
Although it has many familiar elements, this fresh slice of American adolescence isn't baked from the same warmed-over stereotypes and formulaic storylines of the recent batch of teen movies.
It works as well as it does because the central cast - equal parts male and female, lest we forget - are all so uniformly endearing.
It may not have invented the genre, but it did bring that genre to a whole new generation.
A well aimed jab at jock culture full of satisyingly dirty belly laughs.
Ultra-raunchy sex comedy is a teen fave -- beware.
A well-placed coming-of-age raging-hormone filled movie for the typical late 1990s teen. Highlighted by obscene comedy and a sublime plot, this first slice of "Pie" is indeed a tasteful one. 4.5/5

It's humor and fun are worth experiencing. It's a film relevant to any generation of teenagers.
Speechless.
"American Pie" is for my generation, what "Animal House" was for the generation before me. It's raunchy, hilarious, fun, and more importantly honest to it's audience. These characters are all real, and can be seen in every high school in America. If you don't know(then you obviously live under a rock), it's the story of four friends trying to lose their virginity before graduation. I mean who wants to start college a virgin, really? Every performance is perfect, and launched the careers of stars Jason Biggs and Sean William Scott. If even helped revitalize the careers of Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge. The movie is filled with classic quotable lines, and even started M.I.L.F.(look it up). On a side note, the first time I saw this was in the theater in Danville, IL. My parents wanted to take me and my two brothers to see a movie. My youngest brother Matt was too young for it, so my mom took him to see "Lake Placid". My dad ended up taking me and Justin, and he laughed more than we did during it. Makes it better when you know your parents are cool enough to enjoy a movie like this. Not for kids by any means, but every teenager and adult will be able to relate and laugh during this classic movie.
