High school seniors Jim, Kevin, Oz, and Finch make a pact to lose their virginity before graduation, while their friend Stifler constantly interferes with their plans. Jim's attempt to seduce Nadia ends in public humiliation, leading him to ask Michelle to prom, while Oz joins choir to win over Heather, and Kevin struggles with his relationship with Vicky. On prom night, the friends gather at Stifler's cottage, where Kevin and Vicky are interrupted, but Oz and Heather consummate their relationship on the beach. Jim loses his virginity to Michelle, and, to everyone's surprise, Finch fulfills his unexpected reputation by losing his virginity to Stifler's mom.

Dialogue examples

I'm tired of all this bullshit pressure! I mean, I've never even had sex and already I can't stand it! I hate sex! I don't want it, I've never wanted it, and I'm not gonna sit here busting my balls over something that just isn't that damn important! So fuck this stupid pact, fuck you, and fuck sex! Now, I'm gonna go hang out with that geek over there, 'cause at least she's got something else to talk about besides sex! God damn!

Jim Levenstein / Scene 53

Sure you know, son, but I think you've been having a little problem with it. It's okay, though. What you're doing is perfectly normal. It's like practice. Like when you play tennis against a wall. Some day, there'll be a partner returning the ball. You do want a partner, don't you son?

Jim's Dad / Scene 14

Dammit, Jim, get some fucking balls. If you don't have the guts to photograph a naked chick in your room, how are you ever gonna sleep with one? Now all you gotta do is set up some sort of private link or whatever on the net, and tell me the address.

Steve Stifler / Scene 22

So I had this...thought, and...this may seem like it's out of left field, and I don't know if you can, but since I'm not going with anyone --

Heather / Scene 16

Fuck me! You're gonna have a naked Eastern-European chick in your house, and you're telling me you're not gonna take advantage of that?
