Witty teen genre movie, on par with American Pie and Van Wilder

I caught this movie at a distribution screening last year. I thought this was one of the wittiest teen genre movies that I've seen...I'd put it on par with American Pie and Van Wilder. This movie had some very classic scenes, a couple which I don't think I could ever forget even if I tried. Certain parts looked a little low-budget, which is why I gave it an '8' out of '10', but I thought this was more than compensated for by the incredible job the writers did with the development of each of the major characters of the movie. For comparison's sake, I just saw 'Old School' on DVD last week, and honestly, 'Going Greek' blows 'Old School' out the water....no comparison whatsoever.
