Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

gavin6942 It's the wedding of Jim and Michelle and the gathering of their families and friends, including Jim's old friends from high school and Michelle's little sister.I was never very big on the whole crude humor craze of the late 1990s. The "American Pie" films and "Van Wilder" were funny, to be sure, but also stunted by their juvenile and often grotesque situations. With "Van Wilder", the dog cream pies should never have happened, and in this film there are a few moments that might be disgusting to many viewers.But there is a little bit of sweetness to this one. Despite all the sex and poop, there is still a bond of friendship and a romantic love. Well, sort of. So, in many ways, this is on par with the original, maybe even better in some ways. But, of course, why am I so concerned about a film series most known for Jason Biggs making love to a pie?

Python Hyena American Wedding (2003): Dir: Jesse Dylan / Cast: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge: Poorly titled and about as bad as American Pie 2. Jim proposes to that dimwitted band camp girl Michelle and makes failed attempts to impress her folks as well as keep pal Stifler at bay. The first American Pie was sufficient but the sequels are just an encore of vulgar jokes. Directed by Jesse Dylan effectively sets up particular jokes, one involving a bachelor party gone wrong. Some scenery towards the conclusion appear horribly blue screen projected as if the actors just stepped out in front of it. Seann William Scott once again highlights the gross humour as Stifler whom Jim approaches for dance lessons. Jason Biggs as Jim continues to stumble through the transfer of adolescence to adulthood. After an awkward proposal in a restaurant he is met with even more awkwardness when factoring in dance lessons and Michelle's parents. Alyson Hannigan as Michelle seems placed when screenplay conveniently needs her. She has lost than goofy awkward disposition that made her funny in the original. Eugene Levy as Jim's father gives the same advice. Jennifer Coolidge returns once again as Stifler's mother whose nature is overwhelmingly promiscuous. Pathetic demonstration on the lows of society and common decency. Score: 2 / 10

slightlymad22 Not all the cast from the original movie return this time around, but that doesn't mean that their is a shortage of laughs, as this for me is on par with the original movie.Plot In A Paragraph: Jim and Michelle are getting married, but in true American Pie style their are a few mishaps on the way to the alter, as Jim tries to impress Michelle's parents and Stiffler and Finch compete for a bridesmaid. The genius of this movie is that although the movies main plot focuses on the wedding of Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle Flaherty (Alyson Flannigan) for the first time in the franchise, the movies main sub plot focus's on Stifler, and his crazy antics including trying to organise a legendary bachelor party for Jim, accidentally going to a gay bar, teaching Jim to dance for the wedding, and competing with Finch to win Michelle's younger sister.Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) doesn't return, and isn't really missed, ditto Sherman (Chris Owen). Vicky (Tara Reid) doesn't return either, which may be down to Reid's problems in real life (However this leaves Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) with less to do. Jessica (Natasha Lyonne) doesn't return, but with no Vicky, she is not needed. The big miss is Oz (Chris Klein) who also does not reappear in this movie and his absence isn't explained. Although according to the trivia section on here, a deleted scene mentions that he and Heather (Mena Suvari) are in Spain. In reality Klein was filming "We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson and scheduling conflicts meant he could not make it. If all the absences made it possible to give Seann William Scott more screen time as Stifler, I'm all for it, as he completely stole this movie. Eugene Levy is again brilliant as Jim's dad, January Jones is OK as Candice, Michelle's sister Candice, Fred Wilard and Deborah Rush are both a lot of fun as Michelle's parents, as is Eric Allen Kramer as Bear. Sadly, despite her wedding being the main focus of the movie. Alyson Hannigan isn't given as much to do as one would hope, but is as great as she always in the scenes she has. With several laugh out loud moments I rate this on par with the original and I find it is maybe more rewatchable that the first movie. Stifler having a dance off at the gay bar was comedy gold and is hilarious.

Michael_Elliott American Wedding (2003) ** 1/2 (out of 4) When Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) decide to get married everyone agrees that Stifler (Seann William Scott) shouldn't be invited but he keeps popping up no matter what and soon he puts the entire thing at risk. American WEDDING is certainly a step up from the previous installment but it still falls well short of being a good movie. I think the biggest problem here is that the Stifler character leaves the supporting bit behind and becomes a major player in the game. Yes, he had a fairly big part in the first two movies but he had certain limits on him, which isn't the case here. I found there to be simply too much of his character and after a while the over-the-top nature just became rather annoying. I think the director could have calmed down his act a little bit and it probably would have gone a lot better. The screenplay also has a rather boring subplot involving Stifler and Finch trying to seduce Michelle's sister. This includes the two of them "acting" like the other and while we do get a couple laughs from this it really ends up dragging the film down. With that said, there are still some very funny moments scattered throughout the film. This includes a pretty funny opening bit where the proposal doesn't work out as planned and a raunchy but hilarious bit dealing with dogs. I won't ruin the gag but Jim and Stifler getting mixed up with cake and dogs made for a great gag. Another funny bit happens towards the end and again involves Stifler but the less said the better. As with the previous film, the entire cast has no problem getting back into their characters and we're greeted with some fine performances from all. American WEDDING could have used from a re-write and there's clearly an overall feel of just wanting to milk the series but there are enough laughs to make it worth viewing even if the film doesn't completely come together.
