Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen submitting his script to studios, screenwriter Adam Herz titled it "Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy That Can Be Made For Under $10 Million Which Studio Readers Will Likely Hate But I Think You Will Love." It was later changed to "East Grand Rapids High," then "East Great Falls High," then "Great Falls" and finally, "American Pie."
- GoofsIn Jim's room, it can be seen that there is no ceiling.
- Quotes
Victoria 'Vicky': It's got to be completely perfect. I want the right time, the right moment, the right place.
Jessica: Vicky, it's not a space shuttle launch, it's sex.
- Crazy creditsTravis Barker is credited as Scott Raynor.
- Alternate versionsThe film was originally rated NC-17 by the MPAA. It took three resubmissions to obtain an R-rating. A few scenes had to be edited or trimmed to achieve the rating:
- The main reason for the MPAA's NC-17 decision was the infamous pie scene. In the original cut, Jim did four thrusts into the pastry - too many for an R. The filmmakers and the MPAA wound up settling on two thrusts.
- Dirtier dialogue during the opening scrambled porno. The line "ride me like a pony" was originally "blow your wad on my tits". Also, the line "spank my hairy ass" was originally "play with my hairy balls".
- After Stifler swigs ejaculate-laced beer, Kevin asks him, "Hey Stifler, how's the pale-ale"?. The line was originally, "Hey Stifler, how's the man-chowder"?, but the ratings board objected to 'man-chowder' and it had to be replaced.
- When Nadia is seen masturbating to Jim's porn magazine, the filmmakers had to cut the sight of her placing her hand down her panties by a couple of seconds.
- The scene where Kevin goes down on Vicky was a little too long. Some of her moaning had to be cut.

Featured review
I laughed so hard I spit out half the bucket-o-pop I was drinking, and finally had to stop sipping from its fine nectar, because so many times I was hooting and bending over in joy.
There are some slower moments to let you catch your breath and allow for moments of sincerity, but only for a minute. The scenes in the previews (the ones you think will ruin the movie for you) are expounded on ten-fold, so there are plenty of surprises.
During the movie I kept saying, "This is me and my friends when we were in high school!" They were almost the same conversations about life, sex and girls; just not as frequently, but it's only a two-hour film. Any guy will appreciate American Pie full tilt, and girls will realize just what hoops guys jump through in order to get their attention, let alone in their pants.
What added to American Pie is that I liked every character, because the filmmakers didn't feel the urge to give us prototypical teen characters. Their personalities are distinctive, and their situations are all different, which leads to a hilarious finale where we see just how their pact plays out on prom night.
As I mentioned before, there are genuine moments on the screen where the guys and gals have revelations of sincerity. It adds a needed depth to a film like this, where it's not just raw, raunchy comedy, but important to the lives of the characters who know more than sex is at stake. Which is another reason to like Pie, there are several slices, and sexual conquest is only one of them.
