Wendy Ide 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. Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt The 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. Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Another giggly gross-out comedy for teenagers, this one somewhat better than most by virtue of a more satisfying ending. Nov 8, 2011 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies American Pie is the 1999 teen movie that pushed limits by depicting high school teenagers with an honest portrayal on screen. Rated: 4/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review 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 Jun 4, 2020 Full Review PJ Nabarro 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 Aug 21, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R The perfect 90’s movie with an incredible soundtrack! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Ciaran S American Pie is certainly a very good sex comedy of all time on par with "The Girl Next Door", while i'm personally not a fan of the sequels which came out much later (with the exception of "American Pie 2" & maybe "American Wedding") this movie take the sexiness to a whole new level. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Djbryant1982 B Loved the film and watched it atleast 20 times. Critics usually that rate films 10+ years later don't understand the nostalgia and films relate to certain aspects of peoples lives good or bad. Alot of what is acceptable now (if anything).we like films that actually push boundaries and love those times for it instead of the stuff "if feel offended" or "outdated" ratings Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Nitsan F Loved this movie when I was a kid. Great soundtrack. Great movie for its time back when there were only like 6 movies. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Elijah R Ridiculously crude and incredibly accurate and honest, American Pie is a definitive teen comedy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Great humor with absolute perfect cast. Gen z might not stomach the classic, but still a classic Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
