"American Pie launched the new generation of teen sex comedies. The only differences between American Pie and oh lets say National Lampoon's Animal House is the time they are set in ( oh yeah and that the cast actually look like they could be in high school). The comedy in this film is actually just part of a bigger story and the one reason it works is because the audience likes and can identify with the characters. Jason Biggs plays Jim a goofy but likable high school senior that makes a pact with his three friends (played by Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Chris Klein) to loose their virginity by graduation. The film then makes it clear that our heroes are only going to sucseed is if their female friends let them.

"Superbad is a movie that has a great trick up its sleeve. In its opening thirty minutes the film appears to be an American Pie-style comedy about three high school boys who want to attend a party in order to get laid, yet by the end it has evolved into an examination of friendship and a moment of change in young people’s lives.

Meanwhile Evan tells Becca that he will be at the party and promises to pick up a bottle of vodka for her on the way. Unfortunately for Seth and Evan, their plan hinges upon another lad who is picking up a fake ID. Fogel is beyond awkward and is a rail-thin geek w ... " [More]

10 Movies Sold on a Sex Scene

"There apparently are other reasons to see Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona besides the infamous lesbian kiss between Scarlett Johansson and Penélope Cruz or the threesome between these actresses and Javier Bardem. But as the first things most of us heard about the movie, the sex scenes are certainly a big sell (the ménage à trois is even being used in a promotional contest to win a “threesome” with ScarJo). Even if they’re reportedly underwhelming. Promise of tantalizing footage has been an appeal for moviegoers likely since the dawn of cinema, with film pioneer Eadweard Muybridge’s The Human Figure in Motion - Descending Stairs and Turning Around featuring nudity as far back as the 1880s. And if you’ve seen any of the titles included in today’s list, chances are their respective sex scenes were at least part of what made you buy a ticket (or rent the video).
