American Pie

Not to sound like a performative feminist but this was really misogynistic. Well, it’s a classic but man, I don’t know if it didn’t age well or if the source material was just tasteless. I don’t know but none of the women in this movie are respected, most of them are treated like objects. It makes sense for this movie because the main characters are all in high school and their highest priority is to have sex. But apparently this was a hit that defined the teen comedy genre. I’m trying to see the good in it but, It didn’t make me laugh that much, maybe to me it wasn’t funny. I’ll give it to the movie that it was well made, but that’s about it. There was development, but I would’ve liked to see a lot more. It’s not all about sex and the movie should push that narrative a lot more. Okay some comedies don’t need to be that complex, but take superbad for example, superbad did way more for the teenage sex comedy than American Pie did. Oz’s story was great though, he’s the only character that fully developed.
