Back to "American Pie", this film is probably at its worst when it tries really hard to be also dramatically relevant in terms of relationships and sex between young males and females. The most known is probably Alyson Hannigan, an actress I like quite a lot and when this film here was made, she was already quite a star thanks to "Buffy". The cast includes a handful actors that are still known today, but no real superstars. The writer is Adam Herz and he has basically written almost nothing outside the "American Pie" franchise. This was directed by brothers Paul and Chris Weitz before they became Oscar nominees. It is certainly not funny from start to finish, but during its best moments, it is extremely funny I think. There were definitely also many scenes that weren't really that interesting, which is why I cannot give this film a higher rating.
There are some really funny scenes in there, the beginning when Biggs' character gets caught masturbating by his parents, basically every scene that has Eugene Levy or Alyson Hannigan, Stifler or Stifler's mom, the pie scene. It has not aged as a classic or must-see comedy by any means, but these 95 minutes are certainly worth the watch. Obviously, with time, it has lost a lot of significance, but it was maybe the 1999 film that reflected society the best back then. It was a huge success back then and everybody from younger age groups, mostly teenagers growing-up, had seen it back in the day. "American Pie" is already 16 years old by now.
