The year was 1999, the stars were rising and everyone was wondering what really happened at band camp.
American Pie premiered 25 years ago on July 9, bringing together a cast of of-the-moment teen stars plus comedy legends Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge and some hilarious plot points.
The film’s red carpet premiere was a sight to behold, too, full of the film’s stars in their glory plus celebs like Charlize Theron and Jessica Biel … and a young Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, before they ever got together.
Here, as the film celebrates its 25th anniversary, check out the best photos of the American Pie premiere:
