Review
The movie is funny because the characters are not into the joke and they are embarrassed.
Viewers share the embarrassment as they find it funny.
Humor is happening when the characters are the victims of the acts and not perpetrators (Batanovic et.al, 2016).
Humor is generated by the content and not the context. American pie observes the rules of comedy and it involves sexual content.
However, it is too advanced for high school.

Hypothesize How These Barriers Could Be Overcome.
The excessive talking barrier can be overcome through practicing self-control.
Self-control technique involves allowing others to speak without interrupting through observing the reactions of the listeners while speaking.
Prejudice can be dealt with through having respect to other person’s skills and knowledge irrespective of the background of the person (Carey et al. 2019).
Lastly, the interrupting barrier can be avoided through the use of appropriate body language when seeking a clarification.
