Released in 1999, the raunchy teen comedy 'American Pie' became an instant classic with its story of a group of friends on the verge of graduation who make a pact to lose their virginity on prom night. The film kickstarted the careers of several of its cast members (and launched three sequels and a host of direct-to-video spin-offs), and now 14 years later we take a trip back down memory lane to see where they were then, and what they're up to now.
