It had it's moments, but even they were crude and irritating in some way. I'm not sure it deserves it's 58 metascore.
Me gave it a9:
a 58 metascore is a travesty. This is one of most realistic comedies of all time, and hilarious.
Abby H. gave it a 10:
This movie was very realistic. Boys drooling over girls (Stifler) and other boys waiting to just lose their virginity. Just like I said "Realistic". When I was in school, that's what all the boys were thinking about. I know that for a fact. But, only a few boys at my school were virgin. The basketball team with Buddy Johnson, Danny Sullivan and Billy Davis. those boys could get any girl they want. No doubt about that. But, the other boys at school were a lot like the ones in this movie.
B.J. S. gave it a 2:
Had a couple funny scenes but one could tell exactly what was going to happed before it did. A a film it was horrible. for something just to watch it could have been good if the writers would have put an ounce of energy into coming up with an original joke (or even one that was from Porky's). This whole series of movies was exactly the same. There were not any new ideas in any of them just the same old stuff. The only difference in each film was the location.
Andrew M. gave it an 8:
An original classic......well, not that original...and maybe not really a classic...but this is one of the best of its kind, no doubt! Good looking young actors (who can act!) in one funny scene after another; some are gross, some are clever, some are bewildering, but most are damn hilarious! It's a great script, chock-full of beautifully constructed, gutter-trash humour and sight gags, and you really don't mind one bit. After watching American Pie, just how exactly can one now hold a flute seriously!!
Gabor A. gave it a 1:
You will find your mouth opening more to let out vomit than laughter. Plotless with over blown, gross humor.
Yoon Min C. gave it a 2:
Has one genuinely funny scene--with the monkey(the animal). And, it's perceptive in showing how it's hardly better to have parents understand your sexual drives than not. But, this is really the latest rehashing of the dumb sex cumedies starting with Porky's.
