"American Pie" is a wonderful movie. Let me break that down for you, because there are really two distinct perspectives that make it exceptional. First, it stayed true to the "There’s Something About Mary" comedy. There were numerous scenes that made you squeamish and yet laugh hysterically. There have been many movies that have come down the pipeline striving for the kind of audience that likes that style of humor, and many have been successful at it, simply because it’s an easy formula- find something that someone finds repulsive, and then embellish it. However, most of those other movies stop at that point, and we’re left with nothing to consider after we’ve left. Simply, everything has been thrown in your face, you laughed, you went home. By contrast, AP had something deeper in mind. How do I know this? Because it made me remember experiencing and talking about the same things that were shown and discussed in this movie. It made me remember how awkward, exciting, embarrassing, exhilarating, and ultimately memorable those times were in life. And it was good to reflect on them. And laugh at them. After remembering those times, I think we’ll find that we’ve all got a little bit of Jim, Oz, Kevin, and Finch in all of us.

This movie was offensive, rude, crude, morally bankrupt and tasteless. Finally! It's about time another movie like this was made. On the other hand, it takes some real creativity to come up with new twists on low brow humor. This was a Tuesday night movie in the truest sense. It was ruthless in it's quest for new ways to offend, but it almost always works. The ones that don't work merely make you chuckle, as opposed to out loud laughter at the others.

This was a teen comedy made the right way. None of that sensitive love story stuff. Not another teen story based on a Shakespeare play. This was a movie that focused hard on the one thing teenage boys are trully interested in. Sex. They have no idea how to get it, but they are obsessed by it. Despite the outrageous gags and general offensiveness, the movie rings true. It feels like high school. These characters are not one dimensional. They have actual emotions and motivations for their behavior. With one notable exception, the women are not merely in the movie to show some T&A. They are the ones who are actually in control. That kind of depth and quality of writing is rare in this kind of movie.

I've known a lot of the details about this movie for a long time. The big gags, you'll know them when you see them, were no surprise to me, but I still laughed a lot and very hard. That alone should say a lot about how funny this movie is. The cast is excellent. Most of them are fairly unknown, but should do well after this. Eugene Levy deserves a mention for his part as the dad. His attempts at helping his son will make you cringe and laugh at the same time. He steals all of his scenes.

So go see this movie and remember one thing. When at parties, never pick up an orphaned beer and drink it.

This movie truly was the funniest movie I have ever seen. The true raw sexual humor will make the most uptight person get off their tightly strung pedestal and break out in laughter, as long as they are meeting the basic requirement of being alive. One liners flow throughout the movie, the problem arises that you miss most of them because you are still laughing at the last scene. This is defintily a movie requiring a second viewing either in the theater or at home.

I can't help it. I loved this movie. I loved how it was unflinchingly, unapologetically raunchy. At the same time, I'm amazed at how something so dirty can still have a quality of innocence to it. That combination is what made this movie so good. They meshed really well. I just want to thank that Czech woman for sending my self-image spiralling into the abyss. No one should be allowed to look like that. I almost swallowed my tongue.

Holy Shit... What low expectations I had going in... What a great movie... What an absolutely absurd plot...And yet... It works... Not only does it work, but it soars... Something About Mary, eat your heart out. It's a good thing you came out last summer 'cause you wouldn't have been the summer's hottest comedy this year.

American Pie has it all. For what could very easily have been a cheap "B" movie teen flick, it doesn't even come close. This movie has line after line that surpasses the prior in laugh meter. By the last two scenes, you can't even hear what's being said, cause everybody is laughing too much.

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan tried to show us a cute way to use the internet. The boys of American Pie come up with a much more creative and more effective way of ...shall we say ... communicating.... Let's hear it for Eastern European women.

There is little that can be said without ruining the flick for those who have not seen it. But my closing remark is that you are a complete and utter loser if you do not go see this movie. It is a must.

Excellent Movie worth seeing.  However, I somehow believe Mad Matt could make an Apple Pie into an Ebb.

Favorite "Imagined" Audience Line:  ".. And one time in Reg Processing, Shankster stuck an intern up his ass"

I don't know where to start this movie rocked! I will admit that it is rated R, it should be rated R and I am in full support of our local theaters trying to enforce that rating (although it did make it difficult for me to buy tickets for my wife....) but enough with the social commentary....

I have not laughed at a movie this hard in a long time, this is definitely funnier then "There's something about Mary." The movie makes no apologies for it's unflinching look at High School and the one thing that drives all teenage boys. The movie was sincere and honest in it's approach and did a stellar job of showing the typical akward moments. The movie was completely out of control, I was prepared to be completely appalled, but I was pleasantly suprised. My fairly innocent and straight laced wife loved the movie as well.
