I must say that I was very disappointed in the film, "American Pie". Why? Because we've seen the formula done before and done better than it is here. For example: "Fast Time At Ridgemont High" and "Porky's".Don't get me wrong. I don't completely hate the movie. The actors are very good with the material that they are given. Plus, it is well-directed. Also, there are several very funny scenes in this movie, but as a whole the film just desn't work.Eugene Levy steals every scene he is in as the father who tries to deal with his pastry-porking son.The DVD is nicely done. The picture is good, as is the sound. The film is available in an R-Rated and Unrated version. There is little difference between the two. Apart from the pie scene and a few snippets of dialogue, they are the same.
