They were ready for this movie, at that time.ĮDDIE: Stiffler’s house was the exact same house they used for the party in Can’t Hardly Wait. What we had going for us was timing it had been too long since Porky’s. JASON: But maybe we did it with the most heart, if there’s any sort of thing, I feel that maybe that’s what made us stand out. So, as much as it’s said, “oh my you’re trail blazers,” we’re not the first people to do comedy with kids. But I think a lot of producers said that was also an homage to Porky’s, Fast Times.

PRESS: Will this even work for you being back with all your old friends and old cast mates?ĮDDIE: Yeah, I think the first movie for us, we we’re just kids, we we’re like, Oh my God, we got a movie, great.

The theatrical poster for “American Reunion.” My wife is a pretty open book anyway and kind of a whore herself (laughter) so it’s all good.ĮDDIE: Continuing the tradition of their marriage. It was what I was looking for, and my wife was with me through that whole sort of period, and she was in agreement so, she was psyched. If done correctly this will be the pie scene and in some ways it may even be, you know…it will be talked about. JASON: So anyway, we talked about the idea, we kind of tweaked it as we went along and I was psyched! ‘Cause I felt, like yeah that makes sense, it’s funny. Or what if my phone is like sitting out in a meeting, Jon text message…. Sextexting (laughter) now that I think about it, Hey Jason, would you mind if I show your penis? From Jon. Jon wrote me one day, “Would you be willing to show your….” I was like, yeah, absolutely! As long as it makes sense in the context of the film and it’s funny. So I told them you have carte blanch with me, like anything – you got a blank canvas. So I kept pushing, and they were in agreement. But I felt, once they nailed the relationships and brought it back to that feeling, the energy of the first film then I thought okay now we need, how do we start pushing again to these places, because that’s the other thing people are going to expect and so, in particular, specifically for me I was like, I think we’re missing a pie scene. The amazing thing about these guys, right away, even just hearing their pitch they nailed the tone and the emotional heart of the story and of course they’re funny, the comedy was there. No, my wife loved the idea the scene was something that I was kind of fighting for, not fighting for Jon (Hurwitz) and Hayden (Scholssberg) knew, it was, for me, the biggest sort of thing, was finding the quote un quote ‘pie’ scene. JASON: She just has to deal you know, she’s not going to go anywhere else, that I know of, I mean I am in Dearborn while she’s God knows where. But, overall, she’s been very happy, you know, sometimes I’m tired and can’t deliver the goods, you know sometimes it’s been a long day and I just don’t feel like it, but that’s the beauty of marriage.Įddie Kaye Thomas in “American Reunion,” © 2012 – Universal Pictures.ĮDDIE: She test drove that car before she bought it. JASON: My wife…in general, she’s very happy with my penis, it’s kinda a personal question. How does your wife feel about your exposing all? JASON: I’m counting four penises in this room, which one did you want to talk about?ĬinemaNerdz: The one in question. Makes all the sense in the world.ĬinemaNerdz: Well let’s talk about the penis in the room, how did your wife feel about that? (Laughter) That’s why the rating system works so well. They just got to make sure someone’s there in case Jason’s penis gets them so bothered and they’re so traumatized that they need a shoulder to cry on, they can talk about things with their parent. (underage for American Pie)ĮDDIE: What was the PG movie that people bought tickets for and snuck into ours?ĮDDIE: But I do want to be clear, rated R means to be accompanied by a parent, they are allowed to see it.
