The producers of the American Pie movies pushed their luck with a third slice of their lucrative raunchy comedy franchise, and American Wedding cooked up surprisingly well. It's the sourest serving of Pie, with half of the original cast missing, and there's something undeniably desperate about comedic highlights (involving dog poop, a lusty old lady, two strippers to offset the absence of Shannon Elizabeth, and the ill-advised use of a trimming razor) that arise more from obligation than inspiration, on the assumption that another penile mishap is guaranteed to please. And yet, that's just what this movie does for devoted Pie-munchers: It gives 'em what they want, especially when the notorious Stifler (Seann William Scott) nearly ruins the frantic nuptials of Jim (Jason Biggs) and his band-camping sweetheart Michelle (Alyson Hannigan). Eugene Levy and Eddie Kaye Thomas also return for some reliable comic relief, but the one who's laughing most is three-time Pie writer Adam Herz--laughing loudly and often, all the way to the bank. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description

3.0 out of 5 stars A Lot Twisted and Really Funny January 8, 2004

By Lonnie E. Holder HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious From Start To Finish! September 5, 2003

A Kid's Review

When I first heard about a third American Pie movie, I had my doubts. The second was good, but by the end it was a little tired. When I heard half the cast of the first two would be missing, I also had doubts, especially since the second movie had nearly every person with a speaking line from the original in it (and even the monkey). After seeing the movie, I realized I was very wrong. From the beginning, my mom, her friend and I were laughing like crazy. It wasn't even until the end of the movie that I realized much of the cast was missing from this one. I actually thought it helped the movie, because in part two, some characters (Oz, Vicky, Heather and Jessica) seemed to be there for no purpose. Without them, the story was much more consistent. This movie was also even funnier than the first two. Stifler was practically the star of this movie. Everything he did was great, especially when he traded places with Finch and pretended to be all goody-goody. Eugene Levy was funnier than ever here and he had some more great moments of heart-to-heart talk with his son. This movie capped off the series well, and I was very satisfied with the result.

I'd say go see this movie, but it isn't in theaters anymore, so just wait for DVD, because there will probably be an Unrated version (with practically no difference) and then we can all enjoy this classic over and over again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some Things are Better Left Unwed February 22, 2004

By M. Swinney

Format:DVD

When compared to a train wreck I suppose this movie, "American Wedding," the third in the American Pie trilogy, engages in a photo finish. How to say that more succinctly and clear? "American Wedding" is a cinematic disaster that should be avoided at all cost. I suppose there may be a use for a movie like this. After all the CIA still has Saddam Hussein and are surely interested in him telling all sorts of things. Hussein could be forced into watching "American Wedding," continuously looped until driven absolutely mad from being subjected to un-funny sight gags and tired forced American Pie I and II references until kicking and screaming he spills the Garbanzo beans. Just the threat of having to watch the character Stifler in an annoyingly abrasive performance would be enough.

Half of the cast bailed from American Pie I and II and for good reason. Chris Klien (Oz) and Shannon Elizabeth (Nadia) are most notably absent and surely happy about their career choices to sit this one out. While the majority of the movie industry have moved past the "let's see just how gross we can make the sight gags," the American Pie team has not. So, we are left with jokes about consumed dog poop and body hair from certain regions of the body making it's way into the air conditioner and all over the wedding food. Not much in American Wedding is funny. Not much in American Wedding is worth watching.

So surely there must be something redeemable here. Well die-hard fans of American Pie I and II may get a few yucks here and there and appreciate seeing Alyson Hannigan's "Michelle" character blossom beyond band camp. And actually the soundtrack is quite good, but I can't recall the last time I or anyone else went to see a movie to listen to the soundtrack. Save your money with American Wedding and skip the movie, go buy the soundtrack instead.
