American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules producer talks about the new film
American Pie is one of the most popular raunchy comedies that is still considered iconic to this day. While the movie was successful and is still loved today, it is very much a product of its time and is often criticised for its misogynistic scenes. American Pie Presents: Girls’ Rules will be a twist on the original American Pie. Instead of focusing on teen boys, this movie will reveal how teen girls take control of their lives as they pass out of high school.
