Best entry in the "American Pie" series

Rating: 9/10

OK, I admit it. American Pie movies are tasteless, goofy and hilariously stupid...but I love them! This movie, in my opinion, was the best in the series because it was...well, the funniest. And also a little touching. You grow kind of attached to the characters and it's nice to see them moving ahead in life. If you don't like grossness and ridiculous situations, then this film is not for you. It'll probably appeal to people in the 13-18 age range most, but pretty much everyone who watches it will laugh at least once.
