Well, I'm proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.
In order for American Pie to have worked, you have to have a character who, even while he is humping a pie, the audience still likes.
People would see me on a Nickelodeon commercial, and I would hear about it the next day in school.
We all had our reservations about possibly overdoing it but, you know, the script was great. Basically it stuck to the formula that worked for the first two movies, and for that reason I think this works as well.
But I did have two months off between Loser and the start of Prozac Nation. So, it was supposed to be Jason time, right? My time to enjoy myself away from movies.
We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism.
