Critics Consensus

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

What makes it particularly appealing is that, although the story is told from the point of view of a group of male friends, their female counterpoints get equal dramatic weight, and a decent share of the funniest lines.

American Pie has a likable cast, but the actors appear throttled back by a pedestrian script and direction. Consequently, one winds up liking the film more than it deserves because of the gameness of its attractive cast.

Another giggly gross-out comedy for teenagers, this one somewhat better than most by virtue of a more satisfying ending.

4/5

American Pie is the 1999 teen movie that pushed limits by depicting high school teenagers with an honest portrayal on screen.

3/5

The tight writing and direction underpinning this very likeable ensemble chuckler nails every tacky joke and surreal sight gag with considerable aplomb.

3/5

Seann William Scott's great boorish creation, Stifler, provides nice flashes of idiosyncrasy away from the more stereotypical characterisations of the four main friends.

American Pie is a hilarious, heartfelt classic that perfectly captures the awkward charm of growing up. Its blend of outrageous comedy and genuine friendship makes it endlessly rewatchable. The cast’s chemistry feels real, and the film balances wild humor with sweet, relatable moments. Despite its bold jokes, it never loses its warmth. A fun, feel-good movie that still stands strong as one of the most memorable teen comedies of its time.

Must have seen this film over 100 times. It’s a film that really captures the 90s in a hilarious way. So many brilliant moments, a must watch.

A bit corny and not original enough to be a classic, but funny enough to be a good watch

There's something about this that can bring in some laughs, and some nostalgia, because we probably knew people or were like this in high school.
