Iconic film of the 90s/00s? This is probably in the running. It has hot girls, teen sex, comedy, fart jokes, and Stiffler. So yeah... it's up there. It also has one of the most notable lines in Gen-Y filmography: "No longer will our penises remain flaccid and unused!" As well as sparking a term that's still sticking with us - the MILF.
That aside, Jason Biggs is adorable, Eugene Levy is awkward in the way only he can manage, Mena Suvari is slightly less annoying than she was in American Beauty, and Tara Reid wasn't a crazy bitch yet. Also, there's a LOT of young actors with three names in this movie... check out that cast list. Weird, huh?
So it is what it is. There's pie humping, underage drinking, and jokes at a band geek's expense. Also, there's now an irritatingly huge film franchise thanks to this little movie (honestly, why are they still making these? And why is Eugene Levy still in them?) But none of them are as clever and fun as the original.
Have your pie and eat it too!
(Sorry, I can't help myself sometimes...)
