"American Pie " Finally, a teen movie that breaks the genre paradigm.
|
By Ted Pfeifer
|
What has
been called the "Porkys" of the nineties, "American Pie" can stand on
its own. One warning up front is this movie is not for kids. The R rating
is there for a reason.
The movie is about four high school buddies that make a pact to lose their
virginity by the senior prom. There are disgusting jokes about any bodily
function and fluid that you can think of. The thing that is good about
this movie is that for once the actors in this actually look like they
could be in high school.
Unlike so many other teen movies where the teens are played by people
in their twenties. It also has a story that keeps the movie going, not
just dead time between gags. "American Pie" is an extremely funny movie
as long as you can stomach it.
