Being a teenager is not easy. Looking back, my teenage years were the most confusing, yet defining era of my life. No matter how old we get or what else we experience, the former teenager that we were will always be a part of our lives.
American Pie, the funny, sometimes gross, but poignant film is about four young men who are looking to loose their virginity before their senior prom.
Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) make a pact to all loose their virginity by the time prom night rolls around. Kevin tries to persuade his girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid) to go all the way with him, Oz joins the school choir and is matched with Heather (Mena Suvari), Finch spreads rumors about his sexual prowess and Jim fails miserably with Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) before going to the prom with Michelle (Alyson Hannigan).
American Pie, for my generation is part of our DNA. It’s not just a movie about boys looking for sex, the female characters are just as real and unsure as any teenager is about life and sex. It’s one of those movies that had stayed with me and it still quotable and watchable after 15 years.
To borrow a line from the movie, its like “warm apple pie”.
