Critics' reviews

"It observes the rules of comedy (...) Its characters are sort of sweet and lovable (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"All the performances are on the money (...) It’s having the nerve to dare and the style to land the jokes that counts."

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"'American Pie' is unable to transcend its own dirty mind (...) [It] portrays a teen-age culture that harks weirdly back to the 1950's"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
"There's nothing the least bit surprising or original"

Nathan Rabin: AV Club
"Early sequences have a crudeness of direction (...) The film works, and works partly because of Eugene Levy’s performance"

Andre Dellamorte: Collider
"Sadly, it is terrible: plodding, with no funny lines and nothing unpredictable in the way of plot."

Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian
"'American Pie' showed em how it was done. How you could make a teenage, gross-out comedy with a heart (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

Ian Freer: Empire
