American Pie

Paul Weitz · 1999 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

Four Michigan seniors swear an oath to lose their virginity before graduation, which puts one of them in front of a webcam with an exchange student, one in a jazz choir, one lying about it, and one alone in the kitchen with a dessert his father later has to discuss with him. The prom is the deadline. Its returns brought the raunchy high-school comedy back onto studio schedules after a decade away.
