“For me it’s American Pie.
Is it funny? Absolutely. Iconic even.
However, the overarching themes of using women, coercing women, and dare I mention the webcam scene? Eh
It just really rubs me the wrong way now.”
“Man, I loved American Pie when it came out, but the webcam scene always felt so fucked up to me even at the time. Especially when Finch, the level headed member of the gang, says Jim basically has to do it.
For a sex comedy, a lot of the film is actually about relationships, letting go, moving on, and also lets the characters openly talk about sex, something missing from the sequels. It’s funny, it’s crass, but it’s not completely without depth. Then there is that one scene that is obviously a sex crime that is just played for laughs.”
