Teen sex comedies used to quite a popular genre in Hollywood. And if there is one movie that happens to be the flag-bearer of that genre of film, it has to be American Pie.
Movies like American Pie are made less and less nowadays but that doesn’t mean charm of such movies have gotten any lesser for the teenagers. They still actively seek movies like American Pie. Here is a list of 11 movies like American Pie that you can watch if you happen to be interested in such kind of films.
1. The Late Bloomer
Peter, a 27 year old man, after the successful removal of a benign tumor resting against his pituitary gland, starts experiencing all the changes and effects of puberty over a three-week period. It is a fun film as long as it lasts.
2. The Girl Next Door
A film that was slammed by critics when it released but has since then gained sort of cult following. The reason it worked — especially among guys — is because the plot of the film is every living man’s dream while growing up. Yes, the film is pure escapist pleasure. But that’s where the fun lies.
3. Accepted
After being rejected by every school he applies to, a high school slacker opts to create his own institution of higher learning, the South Harmon Institute of Technology, on a rundown piece of property near his hometown. They even create a fake Web site, hire a friend’s uncle to pose as the dean. Soon many other rejects try to gain admittance to the their university leading to a hilarious outcome.
4. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
A artless beginning that has a foot here and a foot there, Harold and Kumar is an over-whelming affair. From ecstatically driven sex to hallucinated marijuana scenes, the balance in this grotesque resignation of a movie appeals to crowds of all kind. Staring Kal Penn and John Cho (American Pie), H&K brings in a flavor of insensibility of 2 asians struggling their way to keep out of prison. Watch to enjoy a perpetual state of puerility.
5. Risky Business
Crisp dialogues, typical teenage-sex comedy and a sinuous flow of situations, Risky Business is Tom Cruise’s stylishly sexy satire. The movie is an abundance of style as Cruise, being an affluent sex-starved teenager makes his dreams cum-true, once his parents leave for vacation. It becomes nasty as the portentous camera directing and the voracious soundtrack ups the human ante and bursts our primordial needs to the fore. A transformation of character is guaranteed.
6. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Welcome to the hottest scene of 1982. From Phoebe Cates’s hot bikini shot to Sean Penn’s iconic surfing, Ridgemont High is all about high-school drama, but from a much appealing teenage quantity. The movie hurts on expectations by not following a lead cast, but delivers on the screenwriting. And the ladies, ahem. With the likes of Jennifer Jason Leigh and Spicoli, very little could go wrong. The movie signed off as the cinematic wet dream of 1982.
7. The 40 Year Old Virgin
‘Sex has been so widely desacralized that believing a 40-year old virgin is hard for the conscience. Andy, our virgin protagonist, is a geek, know-it all who works for an electronics store. The braggadocio about sex, the cliched sex-to-love theme makes the movie predictably sly. The movie follows its scene with a symphony of love, which in regard is quite the opposite of how the movie projected initially.
8. There’s Something About Mary
Following their success from ‘Dumb and Dumber’, the Farrelly brothers made a film to be a blend of fun, love and sex in a way only they could. A man gets a chance to meet up with his dream girl from high school, even though his date with her back then was a complete disaster. A simple plot that takes a hilariously complicated turn when an investigator tracking the girl also falls in love with her. The film deservedly got critical and commercial acclaim, winning itself several awards and nominations.
9. Road Trip
Four college friends embark on an 1800-mile road trip to retrieve an illicit tape mistakenly mailed to a girlfriend. As the premise of the film suggests, this movie is one hell of a fun-filled ride. Too bad, the critics dismissed the film. It is one of the better guilty pleasures. Todd Phillips, the director, would later go on to make even bigger successful films like Hangover.
10. Sex Drive
Ian, a high school senior, wants to lose his virginity. He meets a woman online who wants him to drive to Knoxville where she promises sex. He steals his homophobic, macho brother’s GTO, and, with his two best friends, sets out to meet this woman. And as you would have guessed, they go crazy on the way. A film that is every similar in the ethos of movies like American Pie.
11. Euro Trip
Again, a film that critics absolutely hated, but young audiences loved. It has sex; it has guy jokes; and it has some real crazy moments of fun — all you need to make a good sex comedy. The bonus is the exotic locales of Europe where the film has been shot.
