The American Pie movies: Do you thing they still hold up after all these years?

I remember seeing these and thinking they were hilarious at the time, but re-watching them again makes me cringe. I guess these paved the way for gross humor, but so many of these types of films have been made since them that American Pie seems tame in comparison. I loved Seann William Scott as Stifler and Alyson Hannigan as "Band Camp" Michelle but you never hear about them or any of the other cast member anymore. Porky's and Animal House have held up better over the years.

Did you miss a little show called "How I Met Your Mother"?

Seann William Scott has a beautiful ass.

That photo at r3 could be a still from "Fortune and Men's Eyes." SWS looks like he's totally about to rape the the guy.

I can't understand why everyone thought that Seann William Scott was so attractive. He looks like an extra from the DELIVERANCE film set.

Seann William Scott shows up here and there, including as Mac’s gay cousin in It’s Always Sunny. But he definitely isn’t getting starring roles.

Seann had some substance abuse problems. He also was allegedly linked to switch hitting action star Dwayne Johnson. They made some awful film together called THE RUNDOWN. The blinds at the time were all over the place about them.

I adore Alyson but I've never watched these movies and doubt I ever shall. I opt out of this genre.

Alyson seems to be doing the best out of the cast. And i haven't watched any of the movies in ages but i didn't enjoy American Reunion all that much.

I was in my early teens when the first three films came out and I still have nostalgic memories of them. The second one is my favorite - I love that beach house and the summer-y vibe of that one. And that lesbian scene was hilarious.

And let's not forget that close-up shot of Jason Biggs' penis from the last installment. That was quite a risque scene, escpecialy for an American film.

Natasha Lyonne was on Orange in the New Black. I loved her in American Pie, but her best work was in Freeway 2.

Chris Klein was built and should have pursued a career in porn.

I preferred the Porky's movies more.

Natasha didn't have much to do in the American Pie movies she appeared in. She's gotten her life and career back on track. I always found her to be the most talented and interesting of the bunch.

Biggs was very annoying on OITNB. Glad they got rid of his character.

Is it possible that Natasha Lyonne was paid $500.000 for her cameo in the 4th film (that's what some internet sites claim)? She played a minor role in the first three films to begin with and was in the 4th one for like two minutes so I find that a bit hard to believe.

I think Shannon Elizabeth is in it for less than that. I don't know why they bothered bringing her back.

That same website says that Elizabeth was paid $600.000 for her blink-and-you-miss-it appearance so I'm guessing those numbers are bullshit. But then again, the 4th movie apparently took 50 milion bucks to make (which is 5 times more than the first one cost) so maybe they really had to pay the cast that much.

Lyonne probably shot that half of million up her veins the same day she received the check.

I agree. Their careers have flopped and they've been forgotten. Hannigan really lucked out with "How I Met Your Mother" but she wasn't the star of it and when it was over her career was dead again and she could only find work hosting Penn & Teller: Fool Us on CW.

The best thing about American Pie was Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler's mom.

I liked them too when they came out but have no interest in re-watching. They're like the type of movies that are really entertaining and fun to watch because of the gross out scenes but after that, there's really not much there. It's not really comfort viewing to me. In comparison, I didn't like Clueless when I first saw it but whenever it pops on tv, I tend to watch or leave it on background.

Also, I'm around the same age as the actors and remember people talking about whether Shannon Elizabeth, Mena Suvari or Tara Reid were going to be the next rom-com type breakout star but that didn't happen. I wonder if they ever met Harvey Weinstein.

At the time i would have thought Mena Suvari.
