Summary: There's Enough Room For One More Slice
Review: You know how when you first taste a piece of pie, and it's really good, and you think you want more and more of it, but By the time you get to that third slice, the magical quality that made you love it in the first place has waned and it isn't what it used to be at first?. Well, welcome to "American Wedding". I'm not gonna say that this doesn't deserve to be in the 'Pie' series, or that it isn't good or enjoyable, because it most definitley is, but there is something missing. I was worried right off the bat when I heard that half the cast, Chris Klein As Oz, Shannon Elizabeth As Nadia, Tara Reid As Vicky, Mena Suvari as Heather, and Natasha Lyonne as Francesca, would be absent from the film. Not only that, but the director's previous comedy was some embarrasing pot comedy. The abscene of the cast is definitley felt, and it's a hard feeling to shed while watching the movie. As the movies have dealt with the progression of relationships and friendships, I guess it is uunderstandable that some friends don't always stay together once they have graduated into adulthood. It happens. Our hero Jim(Jason Biggs), is finally ready to pop the question to band geek/girlfriend Michelle(the adorable Alyson Hannigan), and does so in the film's hilarious opening teaser that stays true to the series' popular, and now famous, opening moments. Jim's best buds Finch(Eddie Kaye Thomas), and Kevin(Thomas Ian Nicholas), are also around, as everyone prepares from the upcoming nuptials. All isn't merry when perennial jock head Stifler(Sean William Scott), stumbles back onto the scene and causes more chaos for the duo as the wedding nears. Eugene Levy is back as Jim's dad, and he has, thankfully, a larger role here. We even see more of Jim's mom!. Newcomers to the series include funnyman Fred Willard as Michelle's father, and beautiful January Jones as Cadence, Michelle's younger sister. Anyone who is worried that the nice, romantic wedding storyline will overshadow the raunch and comedy of the previous two films, will be happy to know that the raunch, sex, nudity, and everything else is still predoominant in the film. It isn't as raunchy as part 2, but it definitley delivers. Scott, as Stifler, is practically the star of the movie, as it seems that the movie focuses a lot more on him than on Jim and Michelle. Sean seems to overdo Stifler way too much this time. It is evident right from the start that he going overboard, and it appears that it isn't so much a Stifler performance, than a Stifler caricature, as so many others have said. Thomas Ian Nicholas as Kevin, must of had nothing else to do. Why else would he appear in a film that barely registers that he's there?. His role is so transparent, that I can't figure out what they were trying to do with him. The direction of the film is a bit off too. There seems to be scenes that might of gone on longer, but were obviously cut short. Some shots cut away to something real quickly and is given the impression that there was more there. Jesse Dylan, the director and, Bob's son, didn't seem to be a great choice, and his work shows that someone else would of been better. The heart of the first film isn't as well done here either. It was a tad shakey in the sequel too, but there's more here than in 2. The acting is as solid and believeable, minus Stifler, as it always has been. I still believe Hannigan to be a wonder. She has come a long way from that flute tuting band dork from the original. Biggs is still a likeable hero, because he is an every-guy type of person. And Levy, well, Levy is just a god. The film is filled with some definite laugh out loud moments, and some nice scene with Jim and Michelle, but it didn't quite hit the bullseye like the original. Part 2 was better, because it felt more like a 'Pie' film. Namely because everyone was there. The raunch is there, the comedy is there, and the sweetness is felt more than the sequel. It's not great art, but it isn't trying to be. This is for the fans and for the people who enjoy these movies. They really won't be disappointed, even though it isn't the same. "American Baby" practically writes itself.

Summary: Eugene Levy is hilarious, third PIE is not
Review: American Wedding (2003) Jason Biggs, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Thomas Ian Nicholas, January Jones, Eugene Levy, Molly Cheek, Deborah Rush, Fred Willard, D: Jesse Dylan. After a three-year relationship, Jim proposes to band-geek girlfriend Michelle, which means bringing members of the gang to help him tie the knot (excluding the leading ladies), a lot more embarrassing mishaps, and a bachelor party for the obnoxious, one-track-minded Stifler. Third helping of PIE makes room for more sexism and tastelessness, which can't cure its phase for showing its age mark. The heart is left out here from the film digging so low for more funny stuff, but all we get is the cake topped on with pubic shavings and some masticated doggie poo! If you prefer potty humor like so, here's a pie in the face! Directors of the first, Paul and Chris Weitz are co-producers. Running Time: 96 minutes and rated R for sexual content, language, and crude humor.

Summary: American Wedding- A Familiar Slice of Pie
Review: American Wedding, is a lewd, crude and yet often very funny sex farce in the "American Pie" trilogy. As a finale to the films, it includes 1/2 the cast which is rather unfortunate. Seann William Scott steals the show as that obnoxious, sex-crazed Steven Stifler. Jason Biggs as Jim Livenstin just does more silly and dumber things which result in unpleasant ways.
The film starts of with Jim and Michelle eating dinner, and Jim is ready to pop the question to his geek of a girlfreind Michelle (Allison Hannigan). Of course an incident occurs there which can only remain unimaginable. And so the wedding is still on. Jim and his friends Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) prepare a wedding of a lifetime or say the thought. Stifler is on this too and he mainly causes havoc wherever he goes. Stifler has his eyes on someone too, Michelle's sister Cadence (January Jones) and he's not giving up considering that Finch also has his eye on her too.
From here we get lots of laughs, including an unfortunate and truly awful incident involving doggy do as well as a hilarious dacne scene in a gay bar, which is literally anti-serious. I'm not too sure which of the 3 films is the funniest but this is one of the funniest films of 03 so far. Though it is said to be the last in the series, there are many more possibilites for a fourth "American Pie" installment. American Wedding is rated R for Sexual Content, Language and Crude Humor. The profanity is pervasive, the visual and verbal sexual innuendo is rather strong and the crude humor can be rather displeasing and repulsive. But all in all, a funny, funny film worth viewing in theatres.

Summary: Farewell
Review: This series of three films has one thing going for it that none of the other so-called teen comedies has...a Heart: particularly in the relationship between Jim (Jason Biggs) and his father (Eugene Levy).
"American Wedding" finds Jim about to be married to Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and even though the actual wedding preparations are kind of a bore, Stickler manages to save the day especially in the scene, set in a gay bar, in which he duel dances with a big hearty fellow known as Bear. "American Wedding" is fun but it's time to say goodbye to Jim and Stickler and all the characters: good luck to all of you!

Summary: Funniest of them all, but.....
Review: Where were Oz, Vicki, Jessica, and the others?!?! I understand Nadia mot being there--after all she was a foreign exchange student. But Oz was part of Jim's inner circle so to speak. If they weren't going to be in the movie, then at least mention where they are at!!! Outside of that complaint (which I could not get rid of the entire movie) this movie is absolutely hilarious!! From the opening "under the table" scene to Stifler and his "chocolate truffle" this movie is filled with more of the gross humor that so many (myself included) love. This movie, like the previous one, also has a great deal of heart. Michelle is more of a background character, but she still has her moments (like talking to Jim's dad before the ceremony). Jim seems to grow out of his clumsiness as the movie goes on. Even Stiffler (who steals the show again!!!) grows up a little and shows even he has a heart. Disapointing about Oz and the other missing characters, but that still does not keep me from giving this movie 5 stars. American Pie 2 is one of my favorite movies of all time; this one lives up to those standards wonderfully.

Summary: So Bye Bye Mr. and Mrs. American Pie
Review: I must say that while I am very satisfied with how they ended this series, I am a little sad to see Jim (Jason Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and the gang leaving. Unlike most teen movies, the American Pie series actually gets you to care for the characters. I feel a slight connection to these characters. For example, I want to see Michelle again. The character, who has grown from a mere punch line into a frontman, is hilarious not to mention beautiful. When I heard that Alyson Hannigan was getting married in real life, I was a little sad (darn you Alexis Denisof), but it's not like I have a chance or anything. Also, Jim and Michelle are, in this way only, like my parents: my mom is Irish Roman-Catholic while my father is Jewish. Anyway, the movie follows the continuing exploits of Jim and Michelle before their wedding. They want the wedding to be perfect so they naturally choose NOT to invite Stifler (Seann William Scott), but he eventually is able to wrangle himself into the ceremony. Like Michelle, Stifler has grown in importance. In the first movie, he was a supporting character; he wasn't part of the group or the pact. In the second movie, the gang didn't want him at the beach house, but they needed him. In this one, they don't want him at the wedding, but he actually is the unofficial star of the movie. He and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are both vying for Michelle's hot (but nowhere near as beautiful as Alyson) Cadence (January Jones) and they actually switch personalities; Stifler becomes cultured and polite (only in front of the Flaherty family) while Finch becomes the rude "Finchmeister". Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) doesn't have much to do besides add a little support to Jim. The film could have been done without him. I'm not saying that it should have been done without him, I'm just saying that it could have. I wanted the entire gang back, but I'll elaborate later. Meanwhile, Jim is trying hard to impress Michelle's parents while Michelle struggles to write her vows. As usual, laughs are inevitable while the characters struggle to achieve their separate goals: there is Stifler with the bachelor party, Jim and his nervousness, Michelle's dirty nature, and Finch's strange knowledge. If you liked the first two movies, you owe it to yourself to see "The Thrilling Climax". However, not everyone in the group decided to be a part of that climax. The one that I'm most surprised about is Oz (Chris Klein). He was part of the main group, something that Stifler was not. He was one of Jim's best friends and he wasn't even mentioned throughout the film. Also, he is a good counter-balance to Stifler: they are both popular jocks, but Oz is sensitive while Stifler is crass. Now if you have Oz, you have to have Heather. After all, the two are in love. If Heather was cut first, I can see why Oz wasn't there, but I don't understand why anyone was cut. Next is Vicky and Jessica. They are a pair, and while Vicky wouldn't have too much to do, Jessica (who would have Vicky with her for the ride) would be able to give advice to Jim and Michelle. Finally, there is Nadia, the only member of the lost gang who was even mentioned. I can understand why she was cut the most, however, she could have created some conflict for the two lovebirds. Before I wrap up this review, I must say this: be warned: there is a scene in this movie so disgusting that I almost threw up in the theater. I have never in my life come that close to barfing due to a movie in my life. So in conclusion,... It's like Michelle says in American Pie 2; you can't be too uptight. It causes problems. Enjoy this last piece of pie.

Summary: Guilty pleasure
Review: For fans or the notoriously raunchy "American Pie" series, a certain amount of doubts arise when considering whether or not to see this, the third insallment in the series. Considering that the second movie was a definite step back from the first, it would be only logical that the next sequel would be even less funny. Add that to the fact that half of the original cast is missing from this one and things don't look good from the start. The result though, is very different from what one would expect when following this line of thinking.
Somehow, the creators of the "American Pie" series were able to dig deep and wrench the last few satisfying drops of comedy from this franchise...with of course one catch. You will enjoy this movie if you are a fan of the character of Stifler. Despite the wedding based theme, he is the true main event and the star of the show. Of course we still have the embarrassing situations that Jim manages to get himself into, the uncomfortable fatherly advice of Jim's dad, and the pseudo intellectual posturing of Finch, but through it all Seann William Scott's Stifler character is front and center and makes the most of it. With the exception of the very funny opeing scene, Stifler is involved in all of the funniest moments that "American Wedding" has to offer, and there are quite a few of them.
"American Wedding" isn't quite equal to the original American Pie, but for fans of this series and this type of comedy, it will not dissapoint. By the way, do not judge this movie by its preview, unlike just about every other comedy, "American Wedding" saves its funniest moments for the actual movie.

Summary: American Pies Strikes Again!
Review: Most of the great characters from the American Pie series return for a great movie.Though Nadia, Vicky, Heather, Oz, Jessica, and Stifler's brother aren't in this one it is still a big win! There are some new faces such as Michelle's sister Cadence who is played by January Jones. If you loved American Pie and American Pie 2 you'll love American Wedding even more. So do your self a favor and go see American Wedding starring Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, and January Jones. Kyle Cormier
