!['American Pie']()
This raunchy comedy tackled the high school experience of the late 90s. Released in 1999, the movie focuses on a group of guys and their zany quest to lose their virginity before graduation. Let’s revisit the land of band camp, MILFs, and of course, apple pie. A few cast members crashed and burned, and a few hit the big time. What are those crazy kids up to now, over a decade later?

Michigan high school seniors Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas)and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are on a quest. The raunchy flick was such a hit, it spawned two sequels ("American Pie 2" and "American Wedding") and four direct-to-dvd spin-offs. Plus, another "American Pie" is reportedly in the works. That is a lot of pie. (Universal) Follow FOX411.com on Twitter.![Jason_Biggs_Then]()
