    Storyline

    • Trivia
      When 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".
    • Goofs
      In Jim's room, you can see 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 credits
      Travis Barker is credited as Scott Raynor.
    • Alternate versions
      The 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.

    a well seasoned confection
    American Pie has all the ingredients of a good movie. First, the plot deals with young people in search of their first sexual experience. What could be more basic to the human condition? Second, although obviously fiction, the film has a feeling of reality capturing the awkwardness and anxiety of young people at this point in their lives. Third, it is well written and not always predictable as each young man employs his own strategy, and of course, in the real world things do not always go as planned. Fourth, the cast consists of very talented young actors playing characters which may remind the audience of people they may have known. Fifth, the film has its poignant moments. The final ingredient is this movie is hilarious. The film has one liners, sight gags, and situations that very funny. The audience, which ranged from teenagers to middle age, laughed almost constantly and out loud. CAUTION: This film is rated "R" for sexual situations and the use of alcohol by young people. If you are easily offended or sexual humor makes you uncomfortable, stay away. However, if you are not in the aforementioned, you may enjoy it. Three stars!!!
