movie review - American Pie

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2000.01.15

This is a teen movie. It's about four guys who make a pact that they'll get laid by graduation, and perhaps unsurprisingly, three of them do. Along the way, a number of other problems get sorted out, and everyone has a mostly good time.

I was actually entertained by this flick. It isn't particularly intelligent, but it was well written and well crafted. Its strengths are its daring and that it rings true.

Recommended.
