Summary: Didn't Really Like It!
Review: "American Wedding" was not as good as many people said it was. It was basically just the same old story. It was also ridden with gross humor, profanity, and crude humor. I'm not saying that those are bad thing, but it just didn't work in this film. It wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a good one. I have mixed thoughts on this one. "American Wedding" is part three in the American Pie movie seris, but it was weak. It didn't have the entire same cast, and most of the laughs come from Eugene Levy, who is the hilarious guy from "Bringing Down the House." He reprises his role from the previous films, and he is most of the comedy in the movie.

When the film starts, we see main character Jim, and his girlfriend Michelle. They have known each other for several years, and Jim proposes fresh out of collage, and she says "yes." Jim's parents are thrilled that their son is finally getting married. Jim's first problem is that he has to decide from his two best friends, Finch and Kevin, which one is going to be his best man. They both know that it is not going to be Stifler, a person who went to high school with them, and who is not liked by everyone else. Jim and Michelle don't even invite him to the wedding, for fear that his continuious profanity, and rude ways would ruin the event. But Stifler somehow gets Jim's parents to invite him to the wedding, and finally Jim allows him to plan the bachlor party. Michelle's parents Harold and Mary arive, as does her sister Candence, who both Finch and Stifer both set their eyes on. All in all, everybody is excited about the event, except Jim's grandmother who objects to the wedding because of Michelle not being Jewish, but the main thing on Jim and Michelle's mind is that they could get married without a hitch.

A main problem with "American Wedding" is that Stifler was unjustifly mean. It seemed that the only reason for him being in the movie is for him to ruin the wedding. There were a few funny parts in the movie-for example the scenes where Jim tries to learn how to dance for his wedding, or some of the things Stifler does throughout the film. Take this one scene where Stifler lost the best man ring when the dog eats it. He waits for it to come out of the other end, but when he goes off to clean it, somebody else mistakes it for some kind of a chocolate candy. I'm sure you could picture the rest. It was gross, but it was funny. "American Wedding" cannot be called a classic, but I guess it is worth the hour and a half that it takes. I have mixed feelings, and I didn't really care for it that much, but it was ok.

ENJOY!

Rated R for sexual content, language and crude humor.

Summary: A Cinematic Disaster
Review: I would rather suck on a tail-pipe than watch this film again. If you like the first two films, and you are not moron, then I can assure you that you will hate this film. It was like the writers and the actors just stopped caring.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No more stiflers or stifler clones. please seann! More SRM
Review: Stifler is one of my all time favorite characters and Seann Scott has more than delivered on this character that was little more than a minor character in t he first movie, and good for him. BUT, American Wedding was the least good of the three PIE films and I pray that there will NOT be a fourth. I was so disappointed in this film and how lacluster it was. All the movie executives at Universal who said this film was a "go" out there in Hollywood should lose their jobs. But not before paying back a lot of loyal fans whom they roped into seeing this piece of studio garbage.
On the other side of the coin, Seann's latest DVD,Stark Raving Mad - is a great film and I want to see Seann in more films like that... no more stiflers or stifler clones (The Rundown, road trip etc etc)

Go do some more edgy indie stuff. SRM rocked. Fire the American Pie guys at universal and go back to the indie guys from SRM and keep making real movies.

Summary: Laughed Until My Gut Ached.
Review: Let me start off by saying...I LOVE the whole AMERICAN PIE series of movies...but I originally had my doubts about this one. To me the premise sounded a bit forced. An American Wedding? Come on. But...once I saw the movie I told everyone I knew they had to see this movie.

I was glad to see that Stifler was more of a main character in this movie...because he is always good for several laughs...and the whole mess-up with the flowers shows that Stifler is a multidementional character...not just one who likes to antagonize everyone.

As always the movie was chocked full of slapstick and bathroom humor. It was so funny I nearly peed my pants!

The only thing I was disappointed by was that the character of OZ wasn't brought back into the fold. It kind of left him up in the air.

I really don't think this is going to be the last American Pie movie...because I think American Pie: The Family would be a great one.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Raunchy, and hilarious
Review: After I got up out of my chair, I was shaking my head and laughing, asking the question, "Where do they come up with this stuff?" This movie was hands down, the funniest movie of 2003. When I watched the movie for the 2nd time, I realized I had missed many parts of the movie, due to laughter that carried over into another scene.

No mention of Oz, his girlfriend, or Tara Reid's character in the movie, which I found a bit strange. Other than that, the movie was extremely funny, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the greatest movies i've seen

Summary: The Final Slice.
Review: Until today, my life was missing one thing. One unique moment that truly set itself apart from all previous others. That moment? Watching Seann William Scott's character, Steve Stifler, eating a dog doo truffle in the latest "American Pie" installment : "American Wedding". Now you might think that a film with a heinous stunt like this in it's content, would be nothing short of repellant. But I assure you that between dry heaves, you're own body will be ravished by uncontrollable laughter. Stifler, who is undeniably the anchor of all three pictures, comes alive in this outing and solidifies a place as one one of the most unforgettable characters of the last decade and obviously the funniest. There are, however, a few instances in which Seann's portrayal of a tactless, out of control & oversexed jock feels a bit contrived, but overall he does a solid job providing 2,000 Lbs. of hilarity. Another character that completely stands out, is that of Paul Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas). The scenes in which he is trying to depict a bad boy facsimile of Stifler, are some of the most memorable. Now you might notice the absence of some of the core cast members from the first two films; namely Chris Klien, Tara Reid and Mena Suvari. But "Wedding" seems to work well despite this. Among the returning cast are Scott, Thomas, Eugene Levy (Mr. Levinstein), Thomas Ian Nicholas (Kevin), Jason Biggs (Jim) and Alyson Hannigan (Michelle). Yet, the presence of the engaged couple (Biggs & Hannigan) is virtually non-exsistent, especially since the entire movie is constructed around their wedding and the events leading up to it. In fact in most of the funniest scenes, i.e. the dog poo truffle, the bachelor party, the cadent gay club dance sequence, Biggs is practically nowhere to be found. But Scott and Thomas take up the reins and somehow it all comes together, as once again the film makers have created a disgustingly depraved shock-fest that also manages to come across as innocent and sweet (We actually see Stifler pining over the cute, virginal but horny Cadence, played by January Jones). Quite an acheivement in the over-saturated market of teen to twenty-something sex comedies, most of which are completely devoid of any true heart. "American Wedding" is the culmination of an outstanding trilogy of must see comedies from which fans of the first two films will no doubt procure particular enjoyment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Very Good Way to End!!!
Review: "American Wedding" is the best film in the series in the sense that Oz is gone.Oz in my oppinion was a worthless character,but in the comedy case the second one was the best.Jim and Michelle
(Jason Biggs & Alyson Hannigan) finally decide to get married,and the way the proposing happens is quite hilarious and is a brilliant way to open the film.The first thing they do is invite everyone EXCEPT Stifler (Seann William Scott) whose role from the last film has considerably grown.After Stifler finds out he begins to plan the bachelor party.The films jokes are hilarious including one where Stifler ends up at a gay bar.I'm gonna miss these films a lot due to their sex jokes and gross out humor,another joke involving a dog and a ring was hilarious.
Now although the film is about Jim and Michelle getting married,the film is more about Stifler and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) isn't as big of a part as he was in the first and second one and is instead is replaced with Stifler as the second main character.This is definently a must see.A for the movie,A for the acting.Enjoy!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Underachieving, but still fun
Review: When sequels reach their third installment, it's more like nostalgia or tradition that makes me want to see it. That's the case with American Wedding. It doesn't live up to it's hilarious predecessors, but it's still a fun trip with the characters that you've come to enjoy.

In this installment, Jim and Michelle plan their wedding, with just a little help from their friends. What started out as a one-joke character in part one, Stiffler, returns as still a one-joke character. In this instance, however, he is really over the top to the point that he was no longer funny. Perhaps that was the intention, however, as it became clear that he was the only member of this cast who hasn't matured in the past four years. It allowed room for him to grow, and he did, a little bit.

While Stiffler is a negative in this film, the other characters were funny and charming as usual. The storyline fit nicely into the trilogy and made for a fine conclusion. Unfortunately, sequels are often compared to it's predecessors, and this one fails. It lacks that one big scene the other two movies had and it lacked some of the sentimental storytelling as well.

While I enjoyed it as a stand alone movie, it's truly for the die-hard American Pie fans.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Why did they even bother.........?
Review: Why must hollywood ruin everything? This is the final chapter in the American Pie movies & that's a good thing. Part of the problem with the last two 'Pie' movies is that there isn't much original material. They all follow the same formula: Humilate Jason Biggs, Stifler is the comedy & also does something disgusting (ex. eat dog poop), Finch & Stifler's mom, Jim's talks with his dad, & some blatent nudity scenes that don't need to be there.

The original was new, fresh, and a genius of a movie. This one is just awful. If you like Stifler, however, this is your movie. Don't get me wrong, I think he's hilarious at times. The other two films gave you his humor in doses. In this flick he is given free reign and he is sometimes irritating. I mean what 23 year old is still going to act like that? Honestly, I don't care about the marriage. You never get a romantic feel from the little chemistry Jason Biggs & Alyson Hannigan have. I don't even know why Thomas Ian Nichols is in this movie. He doesn't have much to do here. Eddie Kaye is back as Finch. Even his character is getting old. And if I have to hear about him & Stifler's mom again, I am going to throw up. Even the bachelor party (a.k.a. the nudity) felt forced. Does Jim only have three friends in his life? And the 'relationship' between Stifler and Michelle's sister is idiotic. There is NO WAY that a girl would go out with him after he treats her like he does in this movie. But, welcome to hollywood.

The movie is not a total loss, though. Jim's dad is back and as funny as ever. Stifler does have some really funny moments. His attempt at wooing Michelle's sister are quite funny. January Jones is incredibly hot. And that's about it.

The only reason I bought this movie was because I wanted the trilogy. I think it's the worst of the three, by far. I wasn't all that crazy about part two either, but at least it FELT like an American Pie movie. It had all of the characters (even though some were just there for show), & it had some funny moments for the other characters. This film is all about Stifler & it falls flat. It should have never been made in the first place. I can't recommend this movie for more than a rental.

Even the special features are somewhat disappointing. There are deleted scenes, outtakes, bachelor party featurette, a cheesy wedding video, etc. Nothing special here.
