In honour of the new american pie movie being released next year and the fact that we are focusing on Age in the media at the moment, I thought I would talk a little about the stereotypes of teenagers in movies. Albeit these days there is no such thing as teenagers in movies because they are always played by twenty-somethings.
American pie was the first of it's kind before movies like Superbad and 40 Year Old Virgin hit the screens. It sticks to the stereotypes of teenage boys where they are determined to lose their virginity before they graduate.
They also use countertypes like Michele 'The Band Geek' who openly talks about sex and is promiscuous going against the stereotypical idea that geeks are shy and quiet.
Pies will never be seen the same way again!
