Bawdy gay version of American Pie has four teenagers graduate high school and make a pact that they will get some ass before their friend’s Labour Day party in September. Their efforts to get laid take them on a series of whirlwind adventures that include partying with porn star Matthew Rush, trying to get it on with Survivor champion Richard Hatch (but hampered by an unfortunate overzealousness with the enema bottle) and experimenting with quiche to find out if that’s really what anal sex feels like. Scenes that spoof films like Edge Of Seventeen (complete with cast member Stephanie McVay), Circuit, Trick, and The Broken Hearts Club are adorable, the colourful sets and costumes are appealing, and the cast is so likeable (not to mention easy on the eyes) that they completely overcome the amateurish direction and extremely bad editing.
