70Alternately sweet and raucous comedy.
-
50A go-for-the-lowest-common-denominator grab bag of raunchy sex gags and freakish outbursts. The cool thing is that it works.
-
40Among this year's bumper crop of shallow teen-age movies, it is the shallowest and the most prurient.
-
100In addition to being extremely funny, the film has a warm spirit and respect for the characters.
-
75It is not inspired, but it's cheerful and hard-working and sometimes funny, and--here's the important thing--it's not mean.
-
75The successful bits, along with an amiable cast of losers and their prom-night prey, make American Pie a winner.
-
75The presence of "Election's" Chris Klein as the male contingent's most sensitive member only emphasizes how much smarter that high school comedy was.
-
Both funny and foul, alternately frank and full of it.
-
50A limp excuse for a coming-of-age flick, more interested in sexploits than sex, more adept at gross-out than girls.
-
25Gross and tasteless...this high-school romp mixes the gross and tasteless with sentimental mush.
-
75A lively, disposable hybrid of the sincere and the synthetic.
-
25Idiotic.
-
100It's painful, it's real, and it's probably the funniest thing you'll see this year...a teen sexploitation classic.
-
80Unusual in its ability to mix bodily functions humor with a sincere and unlooked-for sense of decency.
-
60The movie lover in you will recoil; your inner sophomore will rejoice.
-
60A surprisingly earnest and cautionary movie, careful to attract female viewers and not freak parents out too badly.
-
60Cheesy homage to a level of horniness Austin Powers could only imagine will be a dream movie for many a teenage boy.
-
50I'd appreciate toilet humor more if it weren't so often so unimaginative.
-
50Another giggly gross-out comedy for teenagers.
-
40Returns the teen movie to the uncomplicated glory days of "Porky's" and "Losin' It."
-
30What really makes the film fall dead (although the preview audience I saw it with howled from beginning to end) are the actors and the way the characters have been scripted.
-
30The fact that isolated bits are amusing shouldn't keep us from strongly noting that this movie really is pretty awful -- not at all worthy of guilty pleasure status.
-
80Pie has some nice surprises and is enjoyable in a smutty, sitcom way. It offers up the outrageousness of "There's Something About Mary" without wallowing in cruelty.
-
88Vulgar and lewd and raunchy like you wouldn't believe, and absolutely hilarious from beginning to end.
-
75Guaranteed to beguile anyone who can remember the joy -- and agony -- of anticipating the first time.
-
75Exceptionally funny, unexpectedly tender, and lewder than a teenage boy's dreams.
-
50The story was primitive, the characters unmemorable, the direction unsophisticated, the writing cliched, the photography and music drab, the pacing uneven, the acting varying from adroitly funny to exaggerated.
-
38An uninteresting take on a tired formula that is only occasionally funny and usually pretty gross.
-
67Distinct from others of its lowly stripe because of the credibly real-feeling performances by much of its youthful ensemble.
-
60What is refreshing about this film is that most of the characters seem like real people.
