Profile of American Pie

American Pie can be described as humorous and sexual. The plot revolves around losing virginity, looking for sex, and teenage love. Its comic aspect comes from grossout humor and silly humor. American Pie's main genre is comedy. In terms of style, it has a Hollywood tone and stars an ensemble cast. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. American Pie is set, at least in part, in the suburbs. It is located in Michigan. It takes place in the 1990s. American Pie has received attention for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. It is well suited for a date night and teens. Note that it involves strong sexual content, nudity, and profanity.

Summary of American Pie

A surprise hit comedy, Paul and Chris Weitz's American Pie follows four high school friends--Jim (Jason Biggs), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), and Oz (Chris Klein)--through their sexually frustrated senior year. Boy-next-door Kevin hopes to finally lose his virginity to his bubbly girlfriend, Vicky (Tara Reid), while football player Oz begins an unlikely relationship with quiet chorus girl Heather (Mena Suvari). Finch struggles to maintain his cool air of witty detachment, while the neurotic Jim, most famously, has an intimate moment with apple pastry--and, eventually, sexy exchange student Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth). This hysterical yet sensitive movie also features memorable characters such as the ever-wise Jessica (Natasha Lyonne), the imbecilic Stifler (Seann William Scott), the dorky Sherminator (Chris Owen), the flute-playing Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and Jim's hilariously nerdy dad (Eugene Levy).

For comedy lovers this movie is a must see and so are its sequels. It's about 4 friends who decide to lose their virginity at the prom, and what happens to them on the way. Don't miss the famous apple pie scene! Highly recommended. Read and rate it
