American Pie movies are the ultimate teen comedies—full of crude jokes, awkward situations, and iconic characters. It started in 1999 as a simple high school comedy and grew into a full-blown universe with sequels and spin-offs.
Here’s every American Pie movie in order, including the official sequels and lesser-known spin-offs.
1. American Pie (1999) – The movie that started it all
The first American Pie introduced us to Jim, Stifler, Finch, and the rest of the legendary crew.
The plot is simple but brilliant: four high school friends make a pact to lose their virginity before graduation. What follows is chaos—awkward sex scenes, legendary one-liners, and the infamous pie scene that gave the film its name.
With classics like “This one time, at band camp…”, American Pie became a cult phenomenon and one of the most influential teen movies ever made.
2. American Pie 2 (2001) – The summer after high school
After the first film’s success, a sequel came that surprisingly held up.

The guys are now college freshmen and decide to spend an epic summer at a beach house. Naturally, everything goes wrong: from awkward sex attempts to Jim’s failed attempts to impress Nadia.
This film features Stifler at his best, a genius prank involving super glue, and the classic lesbian scene everyone remembers.
3. American Wedding (2003) – Jim is getting married!
Jim and Michelle are ready to tie the knot, but of course, nothing goes smoothly.
This is the first movie where some major characters are missing (Kevin and Oz are gone), but Stifler finally gets the spotlight he deserves. His rivalry with Finch and his attempt to act ‘classy’ make this one of the funniest in the series.
Highlight? The dance-off between Stifler and Bear, complete with ridiculous moves.
4. American Reunion (2012) – The original cast returns!
Nearly a decade later, the original cast came back for a high school reunion.
The friends are now in their thirties, with careers, marriages, and kids… but deep down, they’re still the same goofballs.
Full of nostalgia, classic humor, and an older but still outrageous Stifler, this is the perfect sendoff for the original series.
The Spin-offs: American Pie Presents
In addition to the main series, there are five spin-offs with mixed results. They mostly focus on new characters—usually another Stifler.
5. American Pie Presents: Band Camp (2005) – Stifler’s little brother takes over
This film follows Matt Stifler, the younger brother of the legendary Stifmeister.
Because he’s too wild, he’s sent to band camp as punishment. Of course, it becomes a chaotic mess full of Stifler behavior, hidden cameras, and cringey moments.
It’s the only spin-off that features Eugene Levy as Jim’s dad, giving the film just a bit more of that American Pie feel.
6. American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile (2006) – Naked running and Stifler #3
This movie introduces Erik Stifler, a cousin of Steve and Matt Stifler.
To prove his manhood, he decides to take part in the “Naked Mile”, a legendary nude college run.
The film is even cruder than the last, featuring a dwarf fighting a bull and a ridiculous amount of nudity.
7. American Pie Presents: Beta House (2007) – College life to the extreme
A direct sequel to The Naked Mile, where Erik Stifler joins a frat house.
This movie is all about partying, drinking, and bizarre challenges—like sex on a merry-go-round and fighting in a syrup pool.
There’s not much plot, but if you love gross-out, over-the-top humor, it’s a guilty pleasure.
8. American Pie Presents: The Book of Love (2009) – The most forgettable entry
Set ten years after the original American Pie, this film introduces a new group of students who discover the legendary “Book of Love” (Jim’s dad’s old sex manual).
The film tries to bring back the style of the original trilogy, but the humor is weaker and the characters less memorable.
Still, Jim’s dad makes an appearance—always a bonus.
9. American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules (2020) – The female version
An attempt to reboot American Pie with a female cast in the lead.
The film follows four friends who make a pact to have an epic final year of high school.
The idea is interesting, but the jokes and characters lack the raw, chaotic energy of the earlier films.
Which films can you skip?
If you’re looking for the best American Pie experience, stick with:
✅ American Pie (1999)
✅ American Pie 2 (2001)
✅ American Wedding (2003)
✅ American Reunion (2012)
The spin-offs are hit or miss. Band Camp and The Naked Mile are somewhat entertaining, but the later entries are cheap and lack the charm of the originals.
The original American Pie films remain timeless—full of iconic moments and characters. The spin-offs are less memorable but can be a fun guilty pleasure if you’re into raunchy humor.
