American Pie, the bawdy-yet-heartwarming 1999 teen sex comedy, is getting a new 4K steelbook edition. It includes the theatrical version, the “unrated” version (as was the DVD-release fashion of the time), plus as over three hours of bonus features. The movie comes on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, as well as a digital copy that’s Movies Anywhere compatible. It’s set to release September 30, but it’s available for preorder now.

The movie, which features an impressive lineup of big name actors like Natasha Lyonne, Alyson Hannigan, Eugene Levy, and Jennifer Coolidge, centers on four high school dudes who vow to lose their virginity by prom night. Their various attempts to satisfy this goal lead to all manner of slapstick and humiliation. It’s a fun movie that’s very much the product of its time. It’s a type of comedy feature film they don’t really make anymore but was incredibly popular at the turn of the millennium.
American Pie Limited-Edition 4K Steelbook Bonus Content
One of the best things about buying physical copies of movies is the bonus features, which aren’t typically available on streaming. This one in particular comes with all sorts of extras:

What Is Movies Anywhere?
The digital copy that’s included is Movies Anywhere compatible. That means, if you sign up for a free account and redeem your code, you can connect your various streaming services to Movies Anywhere and watch a 4K stream of American Pie on Apple TV, Prime Video, Fandango at Home, and other services as well. It’s kind of like if you were to purchase a game on Steam, but you could play it through the Epic Games or Rockstar launcher without having to buy another copy. It’s the kind of cooperation you don’t typically see from major corporations. It’s quite convenient.
