I loved the acting from all the cast members. The parts I wasn't laughing at, I was feeling for the characters. I didn't think it was laugh out loud hilarious, but some parts were funny. There is some truly funny material in the film, I laughed at several scenes in the movie. Just FYI in case any of that offends you. Humor that involves male and female masturbation in different ways, premature ejaculation, and very descriptive talk of all kinds of sexual activities. Now this movie isn't all love and good hearted stuff, it's got plenty and I do mean plenty of raunchy/dirty humor. I liked that the characters actually ended up to have a deeper want and that they actually end up having better connections with girls that yes may involve sex, but that's not all that it's based upon. The characters are good hearted boys that think they just want sex, and for a couple of the characters that turns out to be true, but for a couple other of them, it turns out that just 'getting laid' isn't the most important thing. It's got a couple of scenes based on crude humor, but I was glad to see that for the most part, the movie steered clear of over the top disgusting humor. I will say this for American Pie, it's not full out of completely gross out humor like Van Wilder (2002). The scene where Kevin goes down on Vicky was a little too long.When Nadia is seen masturbating to Jim's porn magazine, the filmmakers had to cut the sight of her placing her hand down her panties by a couple of seconds.The line was originally, 'Hey Stifler, how's the man-chowder'?, but the ratings board objected to 'man-chowder' and it had to be replaced. After Stifler swigs ejaculate-laced beer, Kevin asks him, 'Hey Stifler, how's the pale-ale'?.Also, the line 'spank my hairy ass' was originally 'play with my hairy balls'. The line 'ride me like a pony' was originally 'blow your wad on my tits'. Dirtier dialogue during the opening scrambled porno.The filmmakers and the MPAA wound up settling on two thrusts. In the original cut, Jim did four thrusts into the pastry - too many for an R. The main reason for the MPAA's NC-17 decision was the infamous pie scene.A few scenes had to be edited or trimmed to achieve the rating: It took three resubmissions to obtain an R-rating.

The film was originally rated NC-17 by the MPAA.
