| Plot |
| It's said that most American men think about sex once every two or three minutes, but this statistic would seriously underestimate the horniness of Jim ( Jason Biggs ), a high school senior in suburban Michigan. Jim is thoroughly obsessed with sex, a fact of which his parents become aware when they discover him performing the sin of Onan with a gym sock while watching scrambled pay-per-view porn. Jim's buddies Kevin ( Thomas Ian Nicholas ), Finch ( Eddie Kaye Thomas ), and Oz ( Chris Klein ) are no less anxious to relieve themselves of their virginity, so they all make a pledge: they will go to bed with a woman in the three weeks before senior prom or die trying. Kevin appears to have the advantage, since he already has a girlfriend, Vicky ( Tara Reid ), but before he ventures into the Final Frontier, Kevin is urged to consult "The Bible," a hand-written how-to manual possessing erotic wisdom passed down through the ages. Oz is a good-looking jock who is actually a nice guy — which is part of the problem, since he has his heart set on a nice girl, Heather ( Mena Suvari ), who does not seem the type to leap into bed within 21 days. Finch has no immediate prospects, though Jessica ( Natasha Lyonne ) is in a position to know if those rumors about him are true. And Jim is a truly hopeless case — after his attempted seduction of beautiful Czech exchange student Nadia ( Shannon Elizabeth ) turns out to be a disaster, he ends up going to the prom with Michelle ( Alyson Hannigan ), an annoyingly chatty band geek who does, however, have a fascinating story about a flute. American Pie was the directorial debut of Paul Weitz , who, along with his brother Chris Weitz (who served as producer), previously wrote several screenplays, including Antz and Madeline (where they presumably worked all their wholesome ideas out of their system). — Mark Deming |
