Summary: AP3: American Wedding
Review: With this being the third and probaly last movie the American Pie Series, I am happy to see the gang once again together. Even though this is 3 and half months until the release, I must say this movie will rock. And hopefully be a great movie to make-out to.

Summary: It left me laughin', but.....
Review: American Pie will always be a good classic wild comedy to remember. If you've watched the good old time classic of "Revenge Of The Nerds", "Porky's", "Road Trip" and "Van Wilder" then you'll like American Wedding which also can be called American Pie 3.The only flaw of the movie is some characters are missing. Oz, Heather, Vanessa and that other chick that had no interest with Finch. The Sherminator was left out too. What's the deal with that? But it still was a good flick. Stifler still made us laugh like never before. He goes in to ruin Jim's party. He was almost convicted of raping a dog while Stifler fell down because one of the dogs knocked him down and licked off the cake frosting to you know where. Makes you wonder if Stifler is gay. Well, he didn't hesitate to kiss with Ashton in "Dude where's my car?". And poor Stifler lost the wedding ring while the little dog ate it and "dumped" it in the grass. Boy was that funny trying to play it off like it was chocolate and you should've seen Finche's reaction. Once again, it hasn't lost its touch where Finch scores with Stifler's mom at the end. But poor Stifler ends up scoring with the band chick's grandma-Uuuggghhh! Gross! A good comedy indeed.

Summary: Overdid it sometimes
Review: Don't get me wrong...this was a great third part of the great American Pie trilogy but I thought they got carried away with some things. Stifler's character was always slightly on the retarded side, but I felt like they overdid his crude attitude in this movie. That was unnecessary, and Jim seemed even more dumb than in the first two movies (take a certain shaving incident!). Nevertheless, this movie has some very sweet parts aside from the crude humor.
The bonus material on the DVD isn't half bad either. There's the making of featurette, deleted scenes, and outtakes. Good to keep you occupied for a while. :)

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER
Review: I've been a big American Pie fan since the beginning. I love the characters and all their odd quirks. Jims sexual disfunctions, Finches pretensions and obsessions with his MILF, Stifler and his profanity, Jims Dad and his eyebrows and Michelles flute box all make me laugh time and time again and so it was with great anticipation that I saw American Wedding the summer it came out.
It was funny and it was great seeing old friends but some of the heart was missing and the pie had grown stale just a tad. Something about focusing the entire movie and Stifler just threw the chemistry off. Jim was the viewpoint character in the first two flicks but Seann William Scotts popularity had eclipsed that of Jason Biggs and thusly he dominated the movie at the expense of the other characters.
Scott is fun to watch but you can't take an ensemble series and turn it into a one man show which is what they did so it didn't entirely work. When they worked the rest of the cast in the movie excelled. It was really the overemphasis on Stifler that really dragged the movie down and I consider myself a Stifler fan. But Stifler works better in small pieces of the pie not in huge chunks.
Its still a damn fun movies, especially the unrated version, but it ranks slightly below the first two pies for me.

Summary: Guess Oz had better things to do
Review: Well where can you go from here? Thankfully nowhere, like the awful 'Scream' series, American Pie is finally over. There were so many people missing from this movie that they should have called it "Nobody was Interested in a Third Slice."
Even the reliable Stiffler character was getting old by now. To change him up a bit the directors tried to reverse the roles of Stiffler and Finch. It didn't work. Also by now you have to really wonder about Stiffler. Outdancing a gay man in a gay bar is not something he would want his next score to know.
And what was with the bachelor party scene? It made no sense. Why throw a bachelor party for three people and the groom isn't even around? Of course the strippers were hot, espescially the cop.
Ok gross out scenes here were Stiffler eating dog poop, a wedding cake covered in pubic hair, and the granny love closet. The best thing in this movie was Stiffler's 1979 black Trans Am. I wish I still had mine.
But by now the jokes were old, the characters (well the ones who showed up anyway) were just going through the motions, and Jimbo is still a quirky buffoon, but he can dance now.
And of course at the end you know Stiffler's mom is showing up.

Summary: This is Awesome!
Review: All 3 films of the American Pie series are hilarious and are 5 star worthy so I cannot tell which one is the best of the series or which one is the weakest of the series. I have noticed that American wedding has recieved alot of bad reviews, I really do not know why. This was a great ending to the series. Many of the jokes were original and hilarious (There was a scene where Steve Stifler literally ate dog crap, sure it was gross but it was funny as hell) plus the bachelor party was hot!!!! Plus I really love the fact that Steve Stifler had a major part in the movie when originally he was just a co-character in the first American Pie. He had to be everybody's favorite charcter of the series because of the way he behave and all he ever thinks about is getting laid. In this film, he is more perverted then ever. Anyway here is the plot.
After dating Michelle for years, Jim decides it is time to pop the question. Even though his attempt to propose to her in the perfect way ends up going horribly wrong, Michelle says yes! So now it is time to plan a wedding which means they have to do the usual things- Find a dress, decide where to get married, and meet the new relatives. Jim and his friends (Stifler, Finch, and Kevin) try to do whatever the can to help without getting into trouble or end up getting into sexual situations. Stifler is only being part of the wedding because Jim said he can plan his bachelor party. Plus things start to become very interesting when Stifler and Finch both meet Michelle's very attractive sister Cadence and both try to compete for her affection. Stifler starts to suck up to Candence's parents and behaves like Finch only on front of them and Candence. That prompts Finch to start behaving like Stifler, he starts calling himself the "Finchmeister". Ironically she like both of their acts.
In general, American Wedding was one flat out hilarious movie. A Perfect way to end the series. The only thing I hated was the absence of many of the characters like Nadia, Oz, Vicky, Heather , and Sherman. There was one scene where Stifler mentioned Nadia but that was it. It would have been nice to see them. Other then that I really loved this movie and anybody who wants to laugh should see this film.

Summary: Eyes looking down with head shaking slowly from side to side
Review: Well, what can I say? When I first saw this at the video store I said to my wife, "If I ever want to rent this movie, please shoot me in the head immediately." Well the next week I was back at the video store and, you guessed it, I was renting this shocking movie. If only my wife had lived up to her promise, I would have not wasted my life watching this garbage. Yes, I would be dead, but happier.
The jokes are so desperate. They labor hard and long but absolutely no humour is achieved, its amazing! The jokes fall flat and are obscene: not obscene in their content (this movie is about as challenging as a haircut), but obscene in the contempt that the director, writers and actors have for us the audience by believing we would actually find this funny.
Speaking of the actors, it was interesting to see how bored and underused Thomas Ian Nicholas and Alyson Hannigan were. In shockingly unfunny scenes such as the bucks night Nicholas, like throughout the entire movie, looked like he didn't know whether he was a character or a piece of furniture.
And now to Stiffler. Well let me say this: Bill Murray playing a deranged greens keeper, finding a Babe Ruth Chocolate Bar at the bottom of a swimming pool (a swimming pool that has been sterilized because said chocolate bar has been mistaken for a human turd), picking up the chocolate bar, inspecting it and then proceeding to eat it while the snobby wife of a snobby judge faints believing him to be eating excrement is hilarious.(Caddyshack). An idiot eating a dog turd isn't. (American Wedding).
Please avoid this movie, or watch it in the same way you would view "Triumph of the Will", not for entertainment, but as an education to see how far into madness the human race can go. However, while the tennents of National Socialism are idiotic, de-humanizing and genocidal, this movie is just pure evil. If you liked this movie, then I do apologize, but you are insane.

Summary: One gross out scene after another
Review: What American Wedding lacks in heart and humor, it makes up for in embarrassing gross-out scenes. Apparently not realizing that the key to the success of the first two movies is the spiritual journey that the friends undertake as their lives change, the writers of American Wedding throw one gross out comedic scene after another. The jokes wear very thin by the end.
The story is very simple. Jim and Michelle have been dating for a few years and now want to get married. The rest of the movie is a series of goof ups, gross outs, and scene after scene of Steve Stifler doing stupid things. With so much focus on the antics of Stifler, the wedding plot is almost completely drowned out.
The worst part of the movie is not the juvenile humor, though. The problem is that the jokes are telegraphed so that the audience already knows exactly what the punchline will be before the joke is actually executed. It's one thing to cleverly set up a joke, but this movie shouts from the rooftops, "Hey, we're telling a joke here! Haha! Stifler doesn't realize it's actually Jim's grandmother in the closet! Haha! Get it??"
This movie could have been written and executed much better. Instead of trying to build heart around the humor, the writers could have (as they did in the first two movies) built the humor around the heart.
The cast did the best they could, especially Eugene Levy reprising his role as the ever-caring dad. However, the script is not salvageable and the movie falls flat despite the best efforts of all the actors involved.
This movie is not one you will want to own. It really isn't even worth renting. 1.5 stars rounded up to 2 stars for this one.

Summary: No Wonder Marriage Never Appealed To Me!
Review: After watching this movie I am even more convinced that the original "American Pie" film was a fluke....it worked....the other's in the series suffer from trying way too hard.
This film has all of the usual actors in their roles with Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan on their way to the altar. So while the women plan a wedding the "men" run around town still in search of sexual pleasure in all of its most inane of forms. Stifler (Sean William Scott) is full of his typical gross antics, this time with dogs, dog waste and a focus upon the only thing he seems capable of understanding.....sex. While most of the silliness and surprise of the original "Pie" film worked that same vulgar effort misses sorely in this film, basically just grossing people out with the worst of gags and a really stupid and entirely gratuitous T&A scene that could have easily been thrown on the editing floor.
The filmmakers were smart enough to stay with Eugene Levy, Molly Cheek, Fred Willard and Deborah Rush as the parents who birthed all of these nincompoops! The humor found in the older actors is the only redeeming quality of this movie. Maybe on the next "American Divorce," something will change!

Summary: American Garbage
Review: The first movie in this trilogy is a classic, the second film was above average, this one is atrocious.
How could film critics give this movie good reviews? They had the premise right, focus most of the attention on Stifler...but in the first two films he was a wise-cracking smart aleck. In this one, he's just a loser and most of his hijinks are absolutely idiotic. The dance club scene-STUPID, the dog and ring scene- STUPID. The dog and food scene with Jim???
Every character in this film has changed for the worst...Sure Jim still gets caught in goofy situations, but his character has lost all his humor, he's so serious now. Michelle is far removed from her band camp days (minus the opening scene) Finch isn't funny, Kevin is pretty much eliminated from the script (that's the best part of the movie because his character has been worthless since the first film)...Michelle's parents are completely NOT believable and that Mr. Belvedere guy is a real hoot.
And now there's rumor out there that another film could be in the works...Michelle having a baby "American Family" Gee, can hardly wait to see what Stifler does inside a hospital, and Stifler's Mom can make another ridiculous cameo at the end.
Time to pull the plug on this series...should have done so before making this joke
