Since the 1980s, high school comedies have been popular. Nothing, however, has ever surpassed (or will ever surpass) the popularity of American Pie. American Pie movies is primarily a teen sex comedy that became an instant hit with the audience. It is a movie series that has evolved into a large franchise. Over the course of 23 years, the film series spawned four sequels and five spin-offs, beginning in 1999.
The series is a chaotic joyride of high school buddies and their sexual escapades, from the original American Pie in 1999 through American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules. With so many characters and tales to follow, it’s easy to lose track of which movie comes first and how to watch each American Pie film in order. Despite the fact that the first four stories are linked, they can be watched separately. Despite the fact that the characters are similar, the plots of each film are very different.
As a result, we’ve put together a handy guide on how to watch all of the American Pie movies in order of release date.

He can’t possibly graduate from high school as a virgin, let alone as a Stifler, can he? Tracy then thinks it’s time after being teased by her girlfriends. Erik is pleased, but Tracy is not in the mood when things go wrong. She doesn’t want to punish him any more, so she lets him off the hook for the weekend. He is free to do as he pleases.
