It's been over 25 years since the raunchy comedy American Pie hit movie theaters in July 1999, launching an entire wave of teen sex comedies in the aughts.

The ensemble comedy, directed by Paul Weitz, was a major box office success upon release, spawned an entire franchise, gave an entire movie genre new life, and made its large cast of actors into big stars.

Several of the franchise's names remain big to this day, while others have taken a backseat in their Hollywood journeys. Take a look at the stars of American Pie today…
