There was a new wave of teen movies that was happening, and this definitely stood out. I think I could speak for all of us at that time, we were auditioning for all these teen movies. Personally, I felt like we were part of something special. And then apparently a lot of other people felt the same way, because it was huge.īIGGS: We had a sense on set. HANNIGAN: I just remember being really excited for my friends to see it, because I knew they'd really like it. (In Germany, "American Pie" beat out "Mission: Impossible 2" to become the No. "American Pie" received mixed reviews from critics upon its release - Roger Ebert gave it three stars but wrote that, " The summer of 1999 was the season when Hollywood's last standards of taste fell" - but it was a boffo hit with moviegoers worldwide. I remember taking my makeup off at LAX and changing out of whatever I wore, because he and I had to leave the theater early to go to New York to do some press.īIGGS: I left my whole family at the premiere party.

The experience of being in the movie was such a dream come true, but then afterwards, the energy that there was, just people buzzing and talking about it, it was unbelievable.īIGGS: Alyson, didn't you and I have to get on a plane? So, I walked by like, "I can't believe I used to work there and now I get to go to this movie premiere." Then I remember how crazy the theater was, the reaction of all the people because there were two or three movie theaters. And then I started walking towards the theater and walked past this store that I used to work at called Scientific Revolution, where I wore, like, a lab coat and I sold glow-in-the-dark stars and Bill Nye the Science Guy puzzles, like a year or a year and a half before. SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT: I remember I got out of the car at Universal CityWalk and there were a bunch of kids who had just seen an earlier screening and they're asking for autographs, which blew my mind. The movie's premiere was held on July 7 at the since-rebranded Cineplex Odeon in Universal City, with a red carpet boasting a who's who of would-be A-listers like Ben Affleck, Jessica Biel and Charlize Theron. It was a very specific story that I didn't fully identify with and I was so surprised and delighted that it was so relatable to the world at large. I had never done prom or anything like that, so I didn't quite understand the story we were telling. So, I would say I love these guys - I mean, we're characters in the arts, so I felt loved and accepted and seen - and I love Chris and Paul Weitz, but I always felt like was such a curiosity. I had skipped early NYU, so I was somebody that had not had a traditional high school experience and never really fit in. At the time I was dating Eddie Furlong, Clea DuVall was my best friend, and I have pictures from that night of us sitting there being, like, really tough, '90s. LYONNE: I remember being at that premiere. And now we don't even get invited anymore.
And then we went to an MTV thing, like, a year later and we actually had people to talk to. And then we were the schlemiel of the group. THOMAS: Actually, the three ladies on the couch were already established and well known. And I did it hard and I did it good and I did it long.īIGGS: You were already a big Buffy star at this point. I'm going to be a fearless comedian." And I got the part and the day of filming this scene, I had a complete freak-out and I called my manager in my trailer and I was like, "Am I really going to do this?" And he was like, "You f**k the sh*t out of that pie." I had one moment of freak-out, like, What if no one sees this? What if absolutely no one sees this and I f**k a pie for no other reason than I got paid very little money to f**k a pie? I kind of freaked out, but then he gave me a vote of confidence and I went in there and I did it.
I really want to do that." Like, "That seems like something I would love to go for. I've never seen anything like that." And I remember saying to myself, "God, I really hope I get this part. But I just thought, "Oh my god, that's amazing. It's funny, I knew that I was going to be reading for that role, and so I was reading the script and it got to that scene and I laughed out loud - and this was before Eugene was even cast, so I didn't really even fully know the degree to which it was going to be hilarious. JASON BIGGS: Let's really take a moment and talk about this. EDDIE KAYE THOMAS: The way you screwed that pie changed everything, Jason.
