From the Paper:

"This implementation of a crossover of genres is something that continues within today's version of teen movies, something that becomes increasingly evident when taking into consideration some of the contemporary such movies. Take into consideration, for instance, American Pie, a contemporary version of your typical teen movie. A get-laid-by-prom-night, teenage sex comedy, which largely follows the sexual misadventures of a number of adventurous high-schoolers, this movie, with its excessive ammo of extreme raunchiness, teen vulgar, sex jokes and toilet humor; is neither as humorous or engaging as the media would probably lead one to believe."
