Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen 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".
- GoofsIn Jim's room, it can be seen 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 creditsTravis Barker is credited as Scott Raynor.
- Alternate versionsThe 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.

Featured review
Classic!!!
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. This movie has taken the classic teenage boy film (Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds) and spruced it up for the 90's. It is hilarious from start to finish. If you like physical comedy, gross out comedy, sexual comedy, American Pie has it all. A great ensemble cast of likeable young actors makes this a joy to watch.
I think this year's breakout star has to be Chris Klein. He was phenomenal in Election and he is even better here as a jock who tries to soften his image to score before prom. I have a feeling Klein is going to be Hollywood's next big thing and I hope he has a chance to flex his acting muscles in some different movies (I can definitely see this guy in an action film).
Also very good is Jason Biggs who plays the sympathetic Jim character, the guy who is least likely to lose his virginity. His antics are very funny to follow and he gets the lion share of the laughs. Finally a huge ovation for Eugene Levy, who gets major laughs as the Jim's dad.
