Summary: They Should've Quit After the Second Movie!
Review: I watched this DVD over the weekend with some friends and was quite upset at how terribly boring this movie was! My expectations were pretty low to begin with considering it's incredibly rare for film franchises to remain fresh and original with sequels, but "American Wedding" managed to surprise me by being even worse than I had originally expected. This movie was so bad, that when it was over, my friends and I discussed all the different ways we could have better spent those 2 hours. Some of the suggestions included "planting a tree", "getting a head start on my taxes", and "finally getting that rash on my backside checked out"! The jokes were lame and predictable and the plot (or what passed for one) was tired and uninspired. I mean, who wants to see these sophomoric characters married?! What's next, "An American Baby", followed by "An American Funeral"? They can only take these characters so far before the audience tires of them, which is exactly what happened here. Surprisingly, the most annoying character was Stifler! He seemed to digress completely into a junior highschool level of humor, as his entire repertoire was reduced to crotch jokes and curse words. In fact, the whole movie is simply about putting the characters in one ridiculously contrived situation after another, each one less funny and more forced than the last. All the jokes revolve around misunderstandings, or walking in at the wrong moment, or the hot for boobs cliché humor. Not all of the cast returned for this final installment either (maybe they read the script), but those that were included seemed like they were just going through the motions with their roles. Maybe the problem is that I've grown up (I'm now 25) and these characters haven't...Or maybe this really was just a HORRIBLE film! Whatever the case, just rent this one if your curiosity gets the better of you, but do NOT buy it! I know "Gigli" got all the negative press this year for being the worst movie, but I can't imagine anything being more unfunny than this final nail in the coffin of the American Pie franchise.

Summary: A Lot Twisted and Really Funny
Review: I really should dislike this movie, because the comedy is even more disgusting and base than the previous movies in this series, but when the movie is funny, it's hilarious, and I couldn't stop laughing. Be warned, however, that much of the humor comes from gross situations. In this edition, Jim Levinstein (Jason Biggs) asks Michelle Flaherty (Alysson Hannigan) to marry him. The big moment is to happen in a very nice restaurant. Jim hints that he wants to ask Michelle a very important question, and his hinting about is misinterpreted by Michelle, who crawls under the table to do what she thinks Jim wants. In the mean time, Jim's dad, played by SCTV alumni Joe Levy, shows up and sits in Michelle's chair, unaware that she is under the table. Michelle goes unnoticed until Jim's dad mentions the wedding proposal, which causes Michelle to bump the underside of the table. Jim jumps up, his pants are down, and it's embarrassment and pandemonium. As funny as this scene is, it gets better, or worse, depending on how you look at it, from there. The movie ends up being a series of gags from beginning to end, that are both funny and often disgusting. Steve Stifler (Seann William Scott) is often involved in many of these scenes. In one scene Steve and Jim are in the library with a dog when an accident with a cake happens. When Jim's dad opens the library door to bring in Michelle's parents, Steve and Jim appear to be in a very bizarre position with respect to the dog. You'll have to see this one to understand it or believe it. There are another pair of scenes that are related involving a gay bar, a bachelor party, with Stifler involved, of course, and Michelle's parents. While not every moment of these scenes are funny, they are in several places, and I found myself laughing all the way through the scene where Jim is supposed to be having dinner at home with Michelle's parents. Stifler manages to get himself invited to the wedding, and even manages to convince Michelle's mother to let him carry the wedding ring. Unfortunately Stifler manages to lose the ring, which a small dog then eats. How Stifler gets the ring back is simultaneously funny and gross. While Stifler acts like the jerk he is for much of the movie, near the end we see Stifler make a mistake, and then pull out the stops to correct his error. For just a moment we get to see Stifler actually act like a human, and the movie turns out all right. I watched many of the extra features on the DVD. The two features I thought were the best were the deleted scenes and the outtakes. Watch them after seeing the movie. I gave this movie three stars even though it was a laugh-fest all the way through. Much of the humor is gross and disgusting, and the situations used to get the laughs are totally unrealistic and bizarre (well, none of these have ever happened to anyone I know). If you enjoyed the first two "American Pie" movies, you'll enjoy this one as well. Definitely not a family movie and many adults will find portions of the movie a bit too bizarre to be enjoyable. However, for those who like Mad Magazine and can handle gross jokes, this movie is a blast.

Summary: The last piece
Review: American Wedding, the third and final film in the American Pie series, is a bittersweet comedy. Bittersweet because only half of the cast has returned (no Chris Klein, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Shannon Elizabeth, or Natasha Lyonne), but the film is surprisingly better without them. American Wedding finds Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) graduating college and preparing to marry, but not before Stifler (Seann William Scott) can hatch a bachelor party and nearly ruin the nuptuals. Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Eugene Levy as Jim's dad return to add to the comic relief, even though Nicholas is hardly used at all. Plenty of mishaps ensue naturally, and American Wedding almost becomes more of Scott's film (his performance goes from irritating to hilarious in the span of the film), but some of the gags (come on, the dog poop?) seem way out of place. That aside though, American Wedding is the last, and the best, piece of pie, and it is a fitting farewell to this surprisingly funny and fresh mainstream comedy franchise.

Summary: "Sure its funny"
Review: American Wedding had its moments that just made you laugh hysterically. It was funny and gross in a way but it wasn't as raunchy as I was hoping for it to be. For an Unrated version it seemed more like a regular rated R American Wedding. I laughed a lot and this was a great way to end the American Pie series. Though it could have been made funnier, American Wedding still has a lot of laughs and a few priceless moments. If you liked the first two installments of the American Pie series than there would be no reason why you wouldn't like this final installment. It's a great movie to watch on your free time to get a good laugh. Make American Wedding part of your DVD collection if you're a comedy fan. It's a great movie to own.

Summary: Very funny, rauncy and surprisingly charming
Review: I didn't expect a 3rd movie to work, I thought they should stop after part 2. I was wrong though. Although a lot of the cast from the first one didn't return, the movie is still hilarious. When you think about it, the ones that returned are the ones that made the movies so strong in the first place anyway. Okay Shannon Elizibeth isn't back and yes she is sexy but she was awful in the last one. Chris Klein played the normal one of the gang....so who needs him lol. They should've at least mentioned his character once though since he was supposed to be their good friend. Anyway the movie would be totally pointless if Sean William Scott didn't return as Stiffler. Okay he has a little too much screen time and that laugh he does can get annoying too. However the movie smartly handles his character. He's supposed to be an annoying big mouthed jerk. That's why Jim (Jason Biggs) doesn't want him at his wedding. So Stiffler does everything he can to be part of the wedding. All that is hilarious too. We also get to see that he has a bit of a sensitive side a long the way as well. The scenes where Finch ( Eddie Kaye Thomas) acts like Stiffler in-order to impress Michelle's sister is very funny too. Stiffler and Finch both have eyes for the same girl. Stiffler thinks he needs to act like Finch to get her and Finch thinks he needs to act like Stiffler. The result is hilarious. Lugene Levy (Jim's dad) is another strong point of the all the movies and they'd be boring without his pep talks that always embarrass Jim as well. So all the people that were the funniest in the other films are back and it makes for one entertaining movie.

Summary: This movie forces you till laugh till you can't laugh nomore
Review: This is a must buy movie, it's just so funny. It's a great end to the series, I hope they release a special triolgy box set of America pie because it is one of those movies you can just watch and watch. This movie shows how all of the characters have 'matured' into adults, parties are switched to bars and snack houses switched to restaurants. The humour is still all there though and I love it. It's the funniest of them all in my opinion and a must buy for any fan of the previous two movies! 5 Stars

Summary: Fast & Light - Good For A Few Laughs
Review: "American Wedding" is not a great film...it is not even a good film. But I managed to watch it all the way through and was reasonably entertained, so I'm not going to complain about it. With the setup of the first two lackluster films, the bar was not set very high for the climax. One surprise is the rise of Stiffler, who has grown large enough to dominate the entire film. Though, in order to do so they have had to dumb down his character even more so than in the first two films. I did not find "American Wedding" hilarious, but it certainly has enough laughs to keep the pace light and fast. If you're looking for a fun movie to rent and you liked the first two, you might try this film on for size. It's reasonably entertaining and requires no brain effort to watch.

Summary: This is the Sequel to JACKASS... not AMERICAN PIE!!
Review: It's not a horrible way to spend two hours but really isn't anything special and I was very very disappointed. American PIE had its share of gimmick jokes and gross out jokes, but it managed to combine them with relevance and SEXINESS!! American WEDDING doesn't even try to be sexy. Which was a huge part of the success of American Pie. It was SEXY and FUNNY! We had a handful of beautiful girls and guys in REALISTIC, funny and SEXY moments. American Wedding on the other hand, has NONE of that. Stiffler (Scott) pretends to be somebody else in order to beat out Finch (Thomas) and get into Michelle's (Alyson Hannigan) sister Cadence's (the very attractive January Jones) pants. This story line takes up about 70% of the movie and nobody actually does. It's like telling a story an entire movie and never delivering with the punchline. Instead we end up with a sex scene with Grandma. The American Pie movies have made a lot of money for their studio. You'd think that they'd have the green light to do WHATEVER they wanted... and they did! Well, they chose to use that power to do jokes typical of JACKASS like eating dog poo, dancing in gay bars, having sex with grandma, humping dogs and shaving pubic hair. Me personally, I would have rather seen the sexiness brought back. Bottom line. American Wedding ISN'T sexy. It's mostly GROSS with some laughs. In fact, on the DVD, the Director even says that the studio recommended they add something to make it sexier. Preferably with Cadence, and they didn't. The unrated version does feature an extended bachelor party. It isn't that big of deal. Would have rather seen Cadence do something MILDLY sexy. I mean, didn't January Jones see what American Pie did for Shannon Elizabeth, Mena Suvari and Tara Reid's careers!
