Not sure if this is a serious question, but I'll give it a go since I'm on lunch and have nothing else to do. This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything I'm sure, but it's a good deal of them:

1. The "pact" amongst the guys to get laid is from the first American Pie movie
2. The library detention scene is from Breakfast Club, as is the Molly Ringwald appearance and the teacher in the detention scene as well
3. Katherine's character and make out scene with the old lady is from Cruel Intentions
4. A great deal of the movie revolving around the football team is from Varsity Blues
5. Mr. T's character/portrayal is of the murderer from I Know What You Did Last Summer
6. The poetry reading scene and the stadium singing scene is from 10 Things I Hate About You
7. The cheerleading scene at the football game is based on Bring It On.

That's all i can remember from memory

The old lady is from Never Been Kissed
The plot of a bet to get a nerd to be prom queen is from She's All That
The kid with the camera and the balloon is from American Beauty

*The nerdy guy who is in love with the poor girl with glasses is a parody of Ducky the plot of "Pretty In Pink".
*The library detention scene with the principal is a parody of "The Breakfast Club".
*The football references with the overweight country guy is a parody of "Varsity Blues".
*The party scene when the parents go out of town is a parody of "Risky Business".
*The girl who walks into scenes with her hair blowing is a parody of "Can't Hardly Wait".

Marty the football player was a reference to the movie Lucas who the main character was a nerdy football player.

I think that was supposed to be the character "Fortune" from the movie "Rudy"

Does anyone know whether the very opening scene involving the main female character caught masturbating with a sex toy as a succession of characters burst in to her room all at once to wish her Happy Birthday was copied from any other movie ?

reply

American Pie opening scene where Jim is watching scrambled porn in his TV and he masturbates with a tube sock and his parents walk in. Thus the tube sock covering the vibrator. And She's All that is the equivalent of porn to her.
