American Pie
When 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".,In Jim's room, you can see that there is no ceiling.,Michelle: Oh, and this one time, at band camp, I stuck a flute in my pussy.
Jim: [spits out drink] Excuse me?
Michelle: What? You don't think I know how to get myself off? Hell, that's what half of band camp is. Sex Ed. So, are we gonna screw soon? Cause I'm getting kinda antsy.,Travis Barker is credited as Scott Raynor.,The 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.,Edited into American Pie: Deleted Scenes (1999),Love Muscle

Entertainment Group, Inc.,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.,
