A great ensemble cast of likeable young actors makes this a joy to watch. If you like physical comedy, gross out comedy, sexual comedy, American Pie has it all. This movie has taken the classic teenage boy film (Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds) and spruced it up for the 90's. I have to say that the most fun I had at the movies this summer was when I saw American Pie, the funniest picture I've seen since last summer's There's Something About Mary.
The scene where Kevin goes down on Vicky was a little too long.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 line was originally, "Hey Stifler, how's the man-chowder"?, but the ratings board objected to 'man-chowder' and it had to be replaced. After Stifler swigs ejaculate-laced beer, Kevin asks him, "Hey Stifler, how's the pale-ale"?.Also, the line "spank my hairy ass" was originally "play with my hairy balls".
