Jim (Jason Biggs) is just Like any other healthy, red–blooded guy –– who is also a virgin –– he‘s desperate. And since his parents walked in on him watching porno films on a scrambled cable channel, things are now more desperate than ever. At home, his well–meaning Dad (Eugene Levy) participates with a mortifying zeal in his son‘s sexual education, and things at school aren‘t any better. His experience with a beautiful foreign exchange student, Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth), proves an online disaster, so his last resort is Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), a chatty band member who is handy with a flute. One thing is for sure; After exhausting every conceivable way to inaugurate himself in the ways of sex, Jim will never look at an apple pie the same way again! Jim‘s buddy Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) wants nothing more than to please his steady girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid). And now that he has found the Bible, a secret, hand–written, manual of sexual do‘s and don‘ts passed down from generation to generation –– he‘s bound to succeed. Oz (Chris Klein), or Casanova as he prefers to be called, is the school‘s studly lacrosse player. His sights are set on Heather (Mena Suvari), the beautiful co–ed who unfortunately happens to be in the choir, but winning her heart may take more than he‘s bargained for. Nobody knows what to believe about Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), but his legendary prowess definitely precedes him. Only Jessica (Natasha Lyonne), the voice and sometimes fabricator of reality, knows the real truth. But since the incident in the school‘s bathroom he may never be able to show his face in public again. The cocky Stifler (Seann W. Scott), who has actually had sexual experience, simply needs an audience, and a keg. And he‘ll probably think twice before he drinks another beer! Universal Pictures‘ presents a Zide/Perry production of American Pie, a riotous and raunchy exploration of the most eagerly anticipated –– and most humiliating –– rite of adulthood known as Losing One‘s Virginity. In this hilarious lesson in life, love, and libido, and group of friends, fed up with their well–deserved reputations as sexual no–hitters, decide to take action. Hopelessly inexperienced but fueled by hormones raging full–tilt, the guys each try a different but equally outrageous approach to scoring with the female sex. The girls are just as anxious –– but also confused, trying to act cool as they romanticize and idealize what is basically just pure physical attraction. The end result is an honest and affectionate look at a time in all of our lives when we try our hardest to hold onto our dignity, and end up failing miserably.
