Teens Brand American Pie \u2018Deeply Problematic\u2019 After Watching It For The First Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gen Z is watching\u00a0American<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Pie\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>for the first time, and having major problems with the\u00a0movi<\/a><\/strong>e<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hit comedy film was released in 1999 and had four successful sequels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a franchise, American Pie<\/em> grossed a total of $990 million worldwide<\/a> on a combined budget of $147 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cult series is known for its crude, raunchy comedy \u2013 but it seems teenagers don\u2019t think it would work today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People have been sharing their scorn for Gen Z\u2019s objections, with one penning: \u201cThat\u2019s funny. I find \u2018woke teens\u2019 extremely problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another writes: \u201cIf I don\u2019t like something on TV or a movie I just don\u2019t watch it because there are probably millions of other people who enjoy it so get over it get a life and grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho cares about their poor soft sensitive feelings!!! It\u2019s a classic movie, absolutely hilarious!!\u201d agrees a third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time the poorly aged aspects of the movie franchise have hit the headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Elizabeth, who played exchange student Nadia in the film, made reference to a specific scene while talking to Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scene involves her character unknowingly being watched by Jim (Jason Biggs), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) as she is getting undressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for Nadia, the video is then accidentally broadcast to her entire school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the video is shared, Nadia is sent home to the Czech Republic, while the boys who were filming her receive no punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing the scene, the actress says: \u201cIf this had come out after the #MeToo movement, there would definitely be a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that it would have gone down differently.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also explains that the scene was awkward for her as she was still new to the film industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth recalls: \u201cIt was a closed set and it was just me in this room and the boom guy above me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the main thing I remember, just me and the boom guy, and trying to make jokes with the directors and make light of it because if I wasn\u2019t nervous maybe they wouldn\u2019t be so nervous\u2026 I just tried to make it no big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
