Gen Z teens were asked to watch American Pie for the first time and their reaction might change the way you see the movie

A bunch of Gen Z teenagers were tasked with watching American Pie for the first time, and their reactions might make you want to reconsider your long-held opinions on it.

Yes, as most of us will agree, American Pie is all all-American classic.

Released in 1999, it basically shaped an entire generation, and their kids too. However, was it all worth the hype and does It stand the test of time?

Perhaps not...

American Pie's cast was basically a group of horny teenagers (Universal)

Teenagers who are aged between 16 and 19 decided to put it to the test and take a peek, thanks to Vice’s focus group.

Unfortunately, if you love the films, you’re not going to want to hear what they had to say about it.

Obviously, as society changes and times move along, jokes that were once acceptable and funny begin to fall flat.

But when VICE showed the teens American Pie, nobody could have expected the reactions.

If you’ve not seen the flick, here’s a quick run-down.

The comedy followed the height of raunchy teen comedies, with focuses on a coming-of-age story. It had the likes of Jason Biggs, Tara Reid, Jennifer Coolidge and more in the cast line-up.

Specifically, it follows an awkward teenager and his friends as they attempt to get lucky and start their sexual experiences.

However, nothing seems to go right and through a trial and a lot of error, one dude ends up…well, making love with an actual pie in a bid to release his urges.

Say what you like, the film was a resounding success in the industry when it first came out and racked up $235 million at the box office off a budget of just $11 million.

But Gen Z isn’t buying it.

Gen Z isn't impressed (Universal)

One reviewer, 16-year-old Taylor, said the film was 'completely ridiculous' and drew from it that 'men treat women with a lot more respect and equality now'.

17-year-old Hannah said a scene where the characters film Nadia, a foreign exchange student, getting undressed in her room via a webcam is 'deeply problematic', and she wonders how the film doesn’t 'even questioning the morality of doing this'.

She said there’s 'no way a teen film made now would allow it'.

Olivia, 18, said that the male characters who 'think they deserve sex' was 'bordering on incel attitudes'.

Shannon Elizabeth, the actress who played Nadia in the film, admitted it would ‘be a problem’ if it was made today, which is a fair assumption to make.

Speaking on Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, she said: "If this had come out after the #MeToo movement, there would definitely be a problem."

Particularly referencing the scene where she is being streamed while undressing, she added: "I think that it would have gone down differently."

All in all, Gen Z aren't impressed with the premise of the movie, with one person stating: "This whole movie is completely ridiculous, especially how the only thing the male characters care about is having s*x."

Another noted: "They’re willing to say and do whatever just to convince the girls to have s*x with them."

And someone else commented on the plot: "The part where Jim and the other male characters film the foreign exchange student in his room is deeply problematic."

Well, they’re not wrong.
