Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Not as good as the first 2
Review: This will be short and sweet. 2 Stars for the movie. It was alright. But the rest of the stars go for Alyson Hannigan. The hottest woman going.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: not too original
Review: this is another teen party movie where the producers feel they need to make an unrated version for each american pie, road trip type of movie they make. its ridiculous.
too bad the stars of this series(except Eugene Levy) have sold themselves out. any other movie they star in that offers anything less than the mindless pathetic repeated sex jokes they do, noone would see it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The trilogy concludes
Review: American Wedding, like its two predecessors, is, to some extent, reviewproof. After all, teen sex comedies are rarely ambitious enough to try and earn critical praise. Nonetheless, while it would be silly to judge American Wedding as a piece of art, it is fair to assess it on its own merits within its genre, and on that level, it is a decent, though not great, movie.

The first movie in the trilogy - American Pie - was rightly regarded as a very good movie. While it had some of the standard teen movie humor, it also was something better, primarily because of the characters who were both likable and not the standard cliches. By the third movie, however, most of the characters who were so endearing before are either gone or relegated to minor roles. Instead, the less serious characters - ones such as Finch and Stiffler and even the two principals in Wedding - Jim and Michelle - are the ones in the spotlight now. The result is a movie that still has some good points, but is also a pale imitation of the original.

The principal good things about the movie is the generally likable characters and the avoidance of some of the usual wedding-movie cliches. In particular, I find it refreshing to have a movie without the standard romantic crises arising from dumb misunderstandings; at least in this movie, Jim and Michelle never really waver from their commitment to marriage; the complications come from other events. On the other hand, the humor is often sporadic and even the events designed to get the biggest laughs - such as one involving two dogs and a cake - are hit-and-miss.

For fans of the other movies in this series, this movie may be worth watching, but because it is dependent on those earlier movies, I cannot recommend it to anyone unfamiliar with the earlier films. For the fans, however, this is a three-plus star effort, a bit above average but nothing really great.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Oh man! Why'd they have to go and kill it?
Review: O.K first of all, the American Pie Trilogy was no way in line for being the greatest trilogy of all time. But that doesn't disregard the fact that for what the films were, they were good.
They were funny in an uncomfortable way, but then again I'm sure that by now you know that.
This one however was not. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate the film but it wasn't very good. The characters that originally made the films watchable in the first place became old hat and stretched. They weren't the same characters anymore.
Also the cinematography was extremely wierd for a comedy.
In the first two the look of the films was easy going and light. This one was dressed up witha lot of colour and styalised shots. None of which is needed in a comedy film.
Anyway, If your one of those people who lives for teen comedy such as this trilogy, Road trip and frankly anything starring Sean William Scott, then unfortunately you generally know nothing about film. Don't worry about it though, much of us fanatics would love to take your place so that we could like more films and criticise less. So if you are one of those people, then you will like this film alot.
However if your not, and you're more than happy to sit down and watch through a huge back catalogue of old films rather than the drivel that Hollywood is constantly spewing up, then you will be dissapointed with this film and it's lack of attention to detail.
You know who you are!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Okay
Review: This movie was somewhat funny. Jim and Michelle are getting married and Stifler is back. This time eating (...) Jim is trying to impress his true love from the first movie, which is more hilarious.

American Wedding is okay compared to American Pie, which was hilariously off the hook. This movie was more romantic and serious than funny. Marriage is more than just sex. It's about true love, finding the right person to be with. Jim and Michelle prove that love is not dead.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Is a bad pie still an American Pie?
Review: One of the things the producers behind 'American Pie 2' were proud of was that most of the cast (and all of the major players) of the first movie returned. Unfortunately, this was not the case here. Oz (Chris Klein), which was an integral part of the group in the first two movies, isn't even mentioned in 'American Wedding'. An actor's absemce (whether it's due to his unwillingness to rejoin the franchise or any other reason) is understandable. And since Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kay Thomas) had so little to do, Oz's absence was a blessing in a way. But a mention of him and his whereabouts would have made much more sense than completely erasing him from the American Pie 'mythology', hoping we (the viewers) won't notice.

While Finch & Kevin fade into the background, Stifler (Seann William Scott) gets a much bigger part than ever before. He's still an obnoxious girl chaser, who didn't seem to outgrow his highschool juvenile - jock personna, up until the end of the movie.

Besides the big change in the group dynamics, this movie (unlike 'Pie 2') takes a big turn story wise. Jim, Michelle, and their wedding are now the center of the movie, instead of the group's friendship & dynamics. We don't get to see the 'stories' of Kevin or Finch, for instance, develop any further, or hear a word about their current relationships (besides the inevitable encounter with Stifler's Mom).

The laughs, though, are still there. They still are, or course, immature and pretty coarse, but by now, this is wat is expected of the 'American Pie' series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great pie!
Review: I am really going to miss the AMERICAN PIE series. This is an excellent movie and is very much underated. It had a very good storyline (especially at the bucks night) and hilarious twists and turns which are guaranteed to make you crack up laughing. The intellegence of the characters(stifler) is also funny. This movie shows all the pros and cons of a wedding and how to impress the in laws. MUST SEE for anyone who liked any of the other american pie movies or a comedy fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jim and Michelle compared to.
Review: Michelle Flaherty been their for Jim for along time. After Jim was humalited in the net with Nadia, Michelle was right their in his corner and help him finish the pack. Michelle told us in the sequel why she left in the prom, she was afraid Jim would of dumped her, but you know Jim he would never do that he's committed guy. When Jim wanted to be with Nadia, he came to Michelle and helped him out. Michelle fell in love with Jim in the beginning, she made the right choice not to say anything having feeling for him and let Jim find out who wanted to be with. Jim was with Nadia, he always think about Michelle and he said good-bye to Nadia and went to Michelle. Out of all the love scenes in American Pie Jim going to the band camp stage playing the trombone and told Michelle he loved her is my favorite of all time. Do you think Alyson Hannigan ever invited Thomas Ian Nicholas, Jason Biggs, Chris Klein & Eddie Kay Thomas to set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even if they did they would of love meeting Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Breandon, Tony Head and Michelle Trachtenberg. Difference between Michelle and Cadence, Michelle went to East Great Falls High, joined the band, is an outcast and she also knows who Jim on the internet, who Stifler is and Paul Finch legendary status. Michelle dated the right guy and Jim dated the right girl. Cadence never went East Great Falls High even if she did she probably stayed away from Stifler and go for Finch or Kevin. I always rooted for Finch to win Cadence heart. Jim, Kevin or Oz ever went to Sunnydale and meet the scooby gang they would of been friends with Xander, Willow, Giles, Buffy and Dawn and survived any vampires that comes a way. If it was Stifler he wouldn't make it out of alive in two seconds if he was in Sunnydale or in Angel. Stifler is like Spike with a american accent. Jim and Michelle remind of a couple I always know Xander Harris and Willow Rosenberg. I always wish Oz was their, Jim had a problem Oz always know what to do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: American Wedding
Review: This movie is better than Just Married. Stifler and Cadence are like Tom Leezak and Sarah McNerney a boring normal married couple who would be divorced three or four years that's why I didn't. Seann William Scott knew January Jones Dude's Where's My Car when she was dating Ashton Kutcher. Stifler didn't see a future with her when he and Finch didn't get the girl. If Kevin's girlfriend showed up I was always wish Sarah Michelle Gellar played his girlfriend. No way Stifler thought a beautiful girl go for Kevin. Of all the wedding movies I saw this one is my favorite, because I rooted for Jim Levinstein and Michelle Flaherty. Kevin, Finch and Jim's Dad loved Michelle that's why they rooted for Jim to Marry her.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Wasted Pie.
Review: Expectantly, this will be the last attempted installment of The Pie.

Hopelessly crass and pervasively stupid humor is the only thing keeping this movie from being thrown into the incinerator. Anticipating some form of entertainment in this slapstick retardation, it was about as amusing as watching mushrooms grow; difficult to keep from nodding off in this one. Wait, I think I did! At moments when things are clearly dull, nudity; a certain death toll for ANY film who utilizes it like a life-preserver vest. On top of it all - seriously poor film editing. Story lines and scenes jump around as spastically as a gerbil on speed, leaving you to the subliminal pondering of "huh?" I dare say a high-school editing crew could have done a better job. Noticeable departures from the original cast include: Shannon Elizabeth, Chris Klein, Tara Reid, & Mena Suvari who are noticeably missed at times, but oddly never mentioned.

Once again, however, Eugene Levy does a commendable job keeping this one afloat with his father-be-wise humorous methodology to the underage diatribe that is relentless at best. I loved the original, tolerated the second pretty well, but this thing is an utter failure. It is certainly the kind of film that will undoubtedly mar any actor's filmography; leading one to strike it off their list of "movies they've been in."
