American Pie was such a cultural phenomenon! I remember watching it secretly with friends during college days 😄. But honestly, do we really need another sequel? The original magic might be hard to recreate after all these years.

It's heartwarming to see the cast still being so close after all these years. That kind of friendship is rare in Bollywood, let alone Hollywood. Would love to see them reunite on screen!

The original American Pie was revolutionary for its time, but today's generation might find it outdated. Maybe they should make a fresh version with new actors instead of forcing the old cast to relive their youth.

Jim and Michelle's wedding in American Pie 2 was my favorite! 🎬 If they make another sequel, I hope they show what happened to all the characters' lives after marriage and kids. Would be interesting to see middle-aged comedy!

As much as I loved the original, I think Hollywood should focus on creating new stories rather than milking old franchises. The nostalgia factor can only take you so far.

American Pie was our introduction to American teen culture! But I wonder how they'll handle the humor in today's politically correct environment. The original might be considered problematic now 🤔
