Quirky, raunchy and zany American Pie has a likeable cast with real chemistry making you think you're actually going through the journey with the boys. The feeling of watching it is as enjoyable as warm apple pie

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Times (UK)

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.

Kirk Honeycutt

Hollywood Reporter

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.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

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

Leigh Paatsch

Herald Sun (Australia)

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

Rated: 3/5

Patrick Nabarro

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

Rated: 3/5

The Ringer

What makes American Pie stand out is its extreme commitment to the bit, its relentlessly sex-positive attitude, and its sneaky ability to be both disgusting and kind of sweet.
