Advantages: Some great moments- slapstick humour

Disadvantages: Common and not very tasteful

Unfortunately, besides its unbridled raunchiness, this film has little else to offer. Though there were a few memorable scenes scattered throughout, such as the sex talks between Jim (sort of main character) and his dad and the shagging the apple pie bit, on the whole, "American Pie" was not particularly funny. Yes, there were some moments where you would maybe smile and let off a small chuckle, but the laughs were rarely laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Sex jokes and toilet humor can be hilarious, but they must be placed in the right context in order to be successful. Believe it or not, gross does not always translate into funny.

Summary: Depends whether you like this kind of thing.. better for young people.
