Summary: American Wedding - Unrated
Review: Let me start off by saying, I am a fan of the first two 'American Pie' films. So the idea of the third sounded good. "Sounded" is the key word. This third installment of the very popular teen series is keyed by the wedding part in the title. Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Allison Hannigan) are ready to get married. With Stiffler (Sean W. Scott) not invited, they feel the wedding should go off with a bang. WRONG. Stiffler shows up and thats when the trouble starts. This chapter in the 'Pie' series is horrible. They try to make gross out, laugh-out-loud humor, but most of it falls flat on it's face. Sean W. Scott tries to save this disaster, but even 'The Stiffmeister' can't save this dud. The film starts with so much promise, it looks as if they actually could make it work, make a absolutely hilarious 'Pie' with more heart than the first two, then it falls. Again and again. The most memorable character 'Stiffler' isn't memorable at all in this edition. I was kind of sad to hear them ending the series, but after this last installment, I'm kinda glad. Stick with the original two, their awsome.

Summary: Definitely not the best.
Review: The final end to the American Pie saga. I saw this movie after hearing great reviews from the critics and was expecting it to be the best one of them all. I was undoubtfully wrong. There are alot of problems with this movie that the others didn't have. It seemed in this one the creators were trying way too hard for some cheap laughs than in the other ones where the awkward and surprising situations the characters got themselves into were the funniest. Every character hits the mark right on in this one, except for Sean Williams Scott. It came as a shock to me because like many others, Stifler is my favorite and most rememorable character. But in this movie, Mr. Scott is completely overacting and Stifler therefore seems way to over the top. So over the top that it makes you not want to watch him, more less care about him. There are some few funny scenes in the movie. The most funniest are of course the most outrageous. But between those parts it is undeniably slow. For instance, Stifler mistakingly enters a gay bar and shows off his dancing moves. It wasn't funny at all and seemed like a scene that should be obviously deleted to the cutting room floor and never seen again. It's that type of humor that seems so forced that makes the movie at some points a pain to sit through. But the movie does end on a good note to one of the most famous "American Teen" comedies of this time.

Summary: Read BEFORE you buy!
Review: I gave this movie 5 bright stars for keeping right in line with the other American Pie flicks. The original cast of characters pull off another great performance. If you liked the first 2 in the series then without a doubt you will love this one (as it on the same premise). Also, girls an added feature for us- since we like love stories with happy endings- they actually get married and have a commitment to each other. But guys don't worry because it does not distract from this largely hilaroius movie. I would have to say I luaghed more during this than during the other 2. The ONLY WARNING I have for those thinking about buying this movie is that just like the other movies within the series, it is not meant for children or young teenagers who cannot grasp it's concepts or tell the difference between true life and fiction. The language and overall tone of the movie is jsut not sutied for the young or immature.

Summary: Halarious!!!!!!
Review: I went to see this movie at the theatre the day it came out and I was in kind of a bad mood, but when I got done watching this it lifted up my spirits. I thought it was halarious!! The only downside was that a few of the original characters didn't make an apperance in this movie! But even without them it was still a great comedy! I recommend this to all! :)

Summary: The Whole Pie May Not Be Back, but It Is Still Just As Whole
Review: I almost cried during this film as a matter of fact I would have peed my pants if I didn't use the bathroom before hand...This movie was hilarious!!!! The friends that I went with had to hold me in my seat (ok maybe not) but I was darn close to rolling in the isles. Yes, as you probably heard the whole cast didn't return for the conclusion to the Pie trilogy but to tell you the truth I didn't even notice they were missing. The movie also didn't follow the same format as it's predecessors...yes, Jim was caught in every un-imaginable sexually related scenario but this movie was a freshly baked slice of pie. I swear this one has to be the raunchiest of them all. In the end though it made me want to fall in love (man I'm in love with Alyson Hannigan, damn she is getting married in real life :-(, it really did a good job pulling at the 'ole heart strings. Right from the first Pie I knew these two (Jim and Michelle) where going to elope, truly a match made in movie heaven...
There were many unexpected things in this movie including the fact that all the funny scenes where not in the previews. Stifler's other side shows, believe it, he's not as shallow as you may have thought. And this movie is a great "what not to do guide for the groom." For being a sequel it was actually comparable to the first installment, if not funnier. It is kind of sad really, no more sexual misadventures of Jim or any other of the American Pie crew for that matter...unless they decide to make it into a new TV series. Hey it's possible, have you seen what they are putting on the TV nowadays, this would actually be an improvement. Got off topic there for a second...well my recommendation is to go see this movie, sure you don't need the big screen to enjoy a movie such as this but who can wait till it comes out on DVD (your going to want to buy it anyway, not rent it especially when they come out with the deluxe unrated collectors edition of the American Pie series with 500 hours of never before seen raunchy footage). All right back to our regularly scheduled day...

Summary: I've seen this before, oh wait, yeah! Porky's!
Review: I love these movies, and think they are among the funniest comedies (at least of this time & age), and now my vison of "American Pie" as the Porky's remakes are complete. Though better, funnier and smarter that the legendary (and great)Porkys movies, the third one falls into Porky's Revenge territory. Porky's was a hit and had a big impact. The same for American Pie. Porky's 2 The Next Day was funny, but quite as smart as the first one, commonly referred to as "too much of a sequel". The thrird Porky's (Revenge) had a few cast members absent, without any explanation given, and we have the same thing here, where's the sensitive jock guy, where's Tara Reid's character Vicki,and with the release of the second Terminator sequel not far from this movies release, where on earth is the "sherminator?"
This movie has the same laughs as the first two, but like the 3rd porky's there are more serious moments than it's predecessor. I loved it, but expect to find yourself asking "What is it about this movie that makes it different" in between laughs.
Recommend
Porky's (trilogy)
American Pie (1&2)
Scary Movie (trilogy, the 3rd is my fav here, 1 is good also)

Summary: I love American Wedding! American Wedding!
Review: I love American Wedding! This is a great movie! Jason Biggs as Jim Levinstein, Alyson Hannigan as Michelle Flarity, Egene Levy as Jim's Dad, Sean William Scott as Stifler, Eddie Kaye Thomas as Paul Finch, January Jones as Cadence Flarity! I really liked this movie! It has wonderful characterization and heart! Jim and Michelle get married and Stifler wants to host the Bachelor Party!
Stifler wants to get Cadence Flarity for himself and there are some great scences of Stifler trying to impress Cadence for her affection. January Jones does a great performances as Michelle's sister! There are many funny scenes in this movie! Highly Recommended!

Summary: Sweet conclusion to an incredibly funny trilogy
Review: Since 1999, we've all gotten a chance to know and love the "American Pie" gang, with all their true to life gaffes and foibles and the genuine goodness of their efforts. Now, four years after the 'fab four' from East Great Falls cemented their pact to lose their virginities by prom night, one of their number, Jim (who also did unspeakable things to apple pie in that first film), is getting married to his infamous 'band camp' girlfriend, Michelle (Alyson Hanningan). After two films of watching poor Jim (Jason Biggs) have every bad thing possible happen to him in his quest to gain sexual experience, it's nice to finally have Jim get it right and make the big trip down the aisle (though, the path there is no less hilarious).
"American Wedding" brings about half of the original cast back for one last go as Jim and Michelle take the final plunge. It's good to see Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), and, yes, even Stiffler (Sean William Scott), again. Though, the absence of the others ranges from understandable to downright mystifying. Kevin's ex-girlfriend, Vicki (formerly played by Tara Reid), really would have no place in this movie. They broke up at the end of the first film and made peace with their respective directions in life at the end of the second. So, her absence makes sense; as does the lack of the famous foreign exchange student, Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth); although we do miss her. The glaring omissions from this film are supercouple Oz and Heather (played by Chris Klein and Mena Suvari). Their relationship was still going strong at the end of "American Pie 2" and they both were still integral parts of this group of friends. One can only surmise that Klein and Suvari both felt that a third film was beneath them. Hopefully, there's a better explanation than this because that would be disappointing.
Issues with the casting aside, "American Wedding" still manages to embrace the heart of this series while losing very little of the humor. At the very beginning of the movie, when Jim is preparing to propose to Michelle in a romantic restaurant, they end up in the kind of compromising situation that could only happen to Jim. Once they are engaged, the challenge becomes planning the perfect wedding, Jim learning how to dance, and Jim meeting and trying to win the approval of Michelle's parents (played by Deborah Rush and the always amusing Fred Willard). Separately, these are very daunting tasks. Together, they are even more taxing. When you add the unwelcome presence of Steve Stiffler forcefully inviting himself to the wedding, it has reached a critical mass where nothing but bad things can happen. Of course, this is Jim's wedding, so things will definitely go wrong. He can't seem to do anything right to impressing Michelle's parents; he is having a difficult time getting Michelle her dream wedding dress; and, now that Stiffler has wormed his way into the wedding by promising to give Jim the dance lessons he needs, Jim has to keep the 'Stiff-meister' reigned in. Suffice to say, as things get more out of control, the movie gets funnier and funnier. There is even a scene where Stiffler gets his comeuppance by having a markedly worse experience with a 'brownie' than Jim had with a pie. I believe that when all three movies are looked at, one will see that Stiffler has ended up having bad experiences with every conceivable bodily excretion.
Stiffler was a totally obnoxious bore in the first two films and, if he had continued to be one here, "American Wedding" would have bombed. Fortunately, Sean William Scott does a marvelous job at playing Stiffler as an obnoxious oaf who still has a heart. Stiffler wants to right and be a better person, he just can't seem to get out of his own cocky way. His maturity over the course of the film is one of its shining aspects. He never loses that 'Stiff-meister' quality, but he manages to balance with a little more heart. The roles of Kevin and Finch are essentially window dressing in this film, brought back so that Jim could have his buddies to share in his experience. However, there is a funny subplot where Finch and Stiffler compete for the affections of Michelle's sister, Cadence (January Jones). Of course, no "American Pie" film would be complete without Jim's dad (the winning Eugene Levy) providing his 'unique' brand of advice to help Jim through one of the biggest moments of his life.
"American Wedding" brings the 'saga' of the "American Pie" guys full circle and provides a satisfying conclusion to their stories. Seeing Jim and Michelle on their wedding day makes you feel good for them as you know they will have a sparkling (and very wild) future together.

Summary: not the worst of the trilogy bunch
Review: some crude jokes down it but there's always something good in this movie with Stifler dancing in the gay bar and the tension between Stifler and Finch while their pinting over Michelle's sister played by January Jones. the beginning with Alyson Hannigan under the table with Jim is just, wow, Alyson Hannigan is a crazy chick and again Finch gets Stifler's mom. The third slice is an ok view.
