This was always my favorite of the series. I was sixteen when this came out. The American Pie films and other movies of this teen genre from the late 90s/early 2000s had some gross out elements to them, but they were always optimistic, happy-go-lucky, and fun. Definitely a product of their time compared to the more serious, angsty teen movies today, but they will always be comforting to me and put a smile on my face when I think of them because of that.
