American Pie is one of those teen movies – well… sex comedies that maybe considered to be wacky at so many levels, but the chemistry between the guys and its 90s nostalgia humor really clicks it!

One of the best teen comedy movie of all time and a classic now. There are lot of great and embarrassing jokes, the classic one is the warm apple pie.

Not funny as American Pie 2 and 3 but the first American Pie tells a introduction. After watching the first American Pie, people will laugh in the American Pie 2 and 3

This movie shouldn't be taken just as crude etc.: it mainly shows the teens' silly fun. Many teens are "searching" for sex, and this movie shows it with funny moments and these moments which you call "crude".

This is a classic teenage comedy and a personal favourite for me. The cast work together well on a plot with comedy in every scene. Sean William Scott deserves an Oscar.

Pure comedy, there is no proper story to follow (only in the sequel), is simply following a story based on the facts of the day to day and laugh with some epic events.

I don't care what anyone says. The first American Pie movie is a genuinely good film. It's gross out humor has a very sweet, very thought provoking core that keeps you hooked for the entire movie!

A god damned classic that every teenage boy is bound to love. Screw the critics when it comes to movies like American Pie, of course older people will **** all over it because they are just mad they aren't young anymore.

Of course im not insisting you guys to watch it if you don't like teen movies but its classic of this kind of comedy.I mean it! This might look little bit stupid because its like a "stupid comedy" Thats how i like to call movies like this.Actually they aren't stupid at all it's very hard to create jokes like this and make a movie like this.But I could hardly recommend this movie if you are looking for different kind of comedy something opposite from teens movie like good rated movie with good well known actor and a good storyline or a family comedy because it would be pretty weird watching movies with your children or with your parent (depends who you are). This movie is way different is about teenagers life, and
their jokes. I could say this was one of the best of this kind of
comedy i have ever seen! if someone asks for a comedy about teens first
movie i say is "American pie". This movie would be best if you're
looking for something really easy and very hilarious to watch as I
said already. Thanks for reading

Pie tells the tale of high school seniors searching for sex, love, and acceptance in the world. Yes, the film is raunchy and crude, but it is also hilarious from start to finish, and has a warm spirit and well developed characters.

It was not the first of its kind, but it did help shape the way films of the like would be made for years to come. It may be crude and uncalled for from beginning to end, but it has delightful characters, a decent plot-line, and a stellar soundtrack. It is far from a cinematic masterpiece, but it is an easy-going watch for anyone that enjoys a good comedy. Expand

People say if you think that this movies jokes are funny that you must have the sense of humor of a 10 year old I disagree. That's exactly how raunchy comedy is.

Personally, I preferred the second one too the first, as everyone was much more relaxed and knew each other, making the movie flow better. Don't get me wrong, this one certainly had it's funny moments, but in my estimation it wasn't as good as the second one. Jason Biggs Alyson Hannigan are hilarious, but for all they bring to the table, bad actors like Eddie Kay Thomas and Chris Klein take away, making the good performances moot. American Pie is a classic teen comedy about sex and it ushered in a new era in comedy that's still relevant today. It has the raunchy, crazy, good looking youth we see in today's comedy, but unfortunately also has some really lame jokes and bad acting, that thankful went out with the nineties. Expand

American Pie is one of those movies a bachelor has on his movie shelf, watching occasionally to his pleasure. But, once the missus moves in, that movie is going with the comics, porn, and dirty movies he has.

Nevertheless, the movie deals with issues concerning teens growing up and finding ways to crave their sexual desires, which we all go through eventually. Also, it is fun and kooky, springing up some very awkward scenes. The message: don't watch this movie with your parents!

The performances by Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Sean William Scott and Thomas Ian Nicholas are scintillating and comedic gold under the direction of Paul Weitz (About A Boy). Weitz has perfect comedic timing which elevates the screenplay by Adam Herz. The film's a winner and makes you forget about those other teen genre films, which this film is my favorite high school film and makes you want to be in high school again. Grade A Expand

American Pie is a bag of laughs, it's hilarious, well acted and interesting. It's the story of the typical adolescent teenagers lusting for some sexual experiences.

American Pie is a hilarious comedy with a great cast of characters, each with their own over the top personality. Watching these teenagers land themselves in some of the most awkward situations is where a lot of the humour builds in; its defiantly one of my favourite comedy movies of the 90's. Expand

The movie is wild and over top with lots of original moments. The best thing about this movie that it's repecting the characters and lets them develop to good and decent people.

A very nice feel-good movie. Better watch it with friends.

American pie is a good comedy movie, it's got some jokes which can be hit and miss but the cast are pretty good for what they're given. Also, this movie has some good fun scenes with the gang and the film even passes the vibe check.
