I gotta agree, there's a lot of truth to American Pie. I think people will eventually get past the pie-fucking and see it as the most representative film of my generation coming of age. And i'd prefer it being called that as opposed to She's All That or any of the other teen films.
And Andy, not everyone can just simply get laid. I didn't have sex till I was 18, and I've got to be at least better looking than Biggs and that Finch kid. The only one of the four I couldn't believe wouldnt be a virgin was Klein. The other three, it's possible, especially with Rookie of the Year kid, my friend was in a long relationship like that, and it was all about "waiting" and yea, they broke up after like a year and she went off and lost her cherry to some other guy. It's almost like Tara Reid said, if she didn't sleep with Rookie of the Year, she'd probably just lose it to some guy she barely knew in college. And that's what happened to my friend, just while still in high school, not college. My friend still isnt getting laid in college.
So yea, for what it's worth, I think American Pie and Welcome to the Dollhouse were the best of the bunch. Ten Things I Hate About You is fun, but come on, there's nothing real about it. But I guess I have to say, if my life has been like any teen movie, I'd have to go with O.
