Kevin's the only one of the four friends with a steady girlfriend, but Vicky (Tara Reid) is waiting until the moment is just right. It's senior year at East Great Falls High, and virgins Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are trying to get lucky. In addition to seduction, humiliation, and degradation, there is also the purest, most idealized kind of self-sacrificial Romeo-and-Juliet passion. ![]() Raw, carnal gratification is only one of the many ways in which the most intimate of acts is depicted in this movie. Concerned grown-ups can at least take consolation in the fact that deep in its throbbing, er, heart, "American Pie" is also a movie about dare I say it? love.

What doesn't it contain? No violence but profanity aplenty, sex, partial nudity, masturbation, incontinence and body fluidsĮarly in "American Pie," the deliriously raunchy debut from the directing/producing team of Paul and Chris Weitz (brothers and co-writers of the clever "Antz"), there is a discussion about Disney's animated film "The Little Mermaid." One lusty adolescent male turns to another and announces: "Ariel is sooooo hot." Parents unexpectedly drop in on Jim (Jason Biggs) in "American Pie." ![]()
