American Reunion


Rated R; 1 hour 53 minutes

Starring: The original cast from 1999’s American Pie

Yes, the original cast is back and they’re all grown up. At least that’s the tag line, Stifler will never grow up. This franchise has so many sequels that I can’t even begin to remember all of them. The original was great, the 2nd one not so much, American Wedding was pretty funny, and the rest don’t matter since they were different characters.

Jim and Michelle are still married with a 2 year old, Kevin is married and is seriously domesticated, Finch is Finch, Oz is a sportscaster in LA and his girlfriend is some kind of a model, and Stifler is, well, Stifler. They’re all back together for their 13th class reunion, I guess they forgot to have a 10th.

Jim and Michelle are a sexually frustrated couple, that can’t seem to find time for “togetherness”. Once they get back to the ole hometown, the girl next door, that Jim used to babysit, is turning 18 and wants to lose her virginity to her ex baby sitter. Jim gets into his normal trouble that his partly his fault and partly dumb luck. Jason Biggs does a really good job of playing a goof ball that crap just happens to no matter how hard he tries to stay out of trouble.

Seann William Scott and Eugene Levy steal the movie though. When the two of them get together in one scene, it makes for some serious laughter. There are plenty of laughs in this movie to keep you entertained. If you liked any of the American Pie movies, you’ll enjoy the hell out of this one. If you didn’t, then you probably aren’t reading this anyway and have no intention of seeing this one either. Oh by the way, Stifler finally gets his revenge on Finch for hooking up with Stifler’s mom in the first movie. I highly recommend spending a few hours to see this raunchy but funny flick.

Don’t get up as soon as the credits start to roll or you’ll miss one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie.
