Unlike most countries, films are not rated by a legal authority in the US. (MPAA is basically a mouthpiece for the film industry.) It is not legally prohibited to sell or rent non-pornographic films to anyone of any age. (Smut is covered by legal restrictions.)
However, most stores and theatres will not allow those under 17 to buy, rent or view these movies pretty much as a courtesy to parents.
If you want to get it with no questions asked, go to a store, buy a gift card, and order online.
And yes, there's a rated version of American Pie; it was released rated R.

"Since the rapid expansion of the home video market in the late 1990s, studios have been known to skirt the rating system and release unrated versions of films on videocassette and DVD. Sometimes these versions would have earned an NC-17 if submitted for rating, but often their unrated status is merely for marketing purposes. Films that have been rated PG-13 in their theatrical run are sometimes extended with footage equivalent to an R (but not NC-17) rating and marketed as "unrated" with the implication that the added unrated material is racier than an R rating would permit. For example, one DVD release of American Pie, rated R in its theatrical release, exclaims on the box, "UNRATED! The Version You Couldn't See In Theaters". Sometimes the difference between an R-rated feature and its unrated home video counterpart is as little as a few seconds, while other unrated video editions add scenes that have no sexual or violent content whatsoever, making them "unrated" in the technical sense even though they don't contain more provocative material than the theatrical version"
So yes there is a rated-R version of American Pie in addition to the unrated version..

He can most likely sneak in ,The person taking the ticket is usually 16 or 17. All those ratings usually are not enforced unless it is something they expect there to be a kind of bad image movie or game. like South park or Jackass or in games Grand theft auto They knew that there are people looking for a reason to get some negative press out there, So theaters cover there bases and card people they think may be too young.

It depends where you try to buy the dvd. Walmart cards people when trying to buy rated R and Unrated movies, but Borders does not card at all.

a lot of places ask if your over 17 like wal mart target best buy, and yeah there are rated and unrated version's but i think the rated one is Rated R so either way you have to be 17 or over you can ask someone to buy it for you if they won't sell it to you.

generally dvds of unrated movies will give you the option of watching the unrated version or the theater version. The theater version is the one you'll want to watch.
