how come no one like this film? this is a really great film


it's the perfect way to end this series.

Eh. It was boring and dull which is why it wasn't like a whole lot.

reply

you're wrong it wasn't boring or dull at all. it was extraordinarily entertaining and epically great and a classic film.

Okay, I'll try to refresh my mind by rewatching it again.

Actually Phil's right. It is pretty boring.

The only characters that make it somewhat interesting are Jim's Dad, Stifler and Stifler's mom.

Rewatched it the other day and it was really good, imo. I finished American Pie: The Naked Mile today (such a terrible movie but lots of tits) and I find it hard to call it an "American Pie" movie. The only original cast member was Eugene Levy.

American Reunion is a good way to finish up the American Pie series for good.

Sounds like the people who call it boring are the ones who are turned off by the characters being older, and to some degree acting more mature compared to their younger selves in the first 2 films. That's life. Of course Stiffler was going to still be the same guy, and well. Stiffs mom and Jims dad were obviously already adults so they're the type of people that you either leave them alone, or take what you get from being around them.

High School is over so what else were the main core supposed to do? I thought the writing was fine. I hope they do atleast one more movie that has Stiffler end up with somebody that makes sense for him. Maybe bring back Cadence.

The first time I saw the movie I found it a little bit dissapointed, but after a second time I was able to enjoy it as the other three of the serie.

There are not for sure the best movies of the history but they have definitely a certain charme und they can entertain you (or at least me).

I think comedies just generally get bad reviews, but I thought this was a very good film and wrapped everything up nicely and didn't try too hard to get off base from what made the first two classics. Plus, Ali Cobrin is easy on the eyes

I agree don't get the hate some have for this, it's probably given part 2 a run for second place on my Pie list. I liked how they bought back the whole cast although varying degrees of success. But I loved that they have grown up and have adult problems and families. I liked Chris Klein a lot in this, the faded sports star now a lonely rich sportscaster with a young girlfriend. Stifler isn't as annoying as he was in Wedding, and you feel for the guy in Reunion plus it's the first time I feel you see he cares about these guys as his friends. I loved Jim's and Michelle's storyline in this.

I agree it made up for the mess that was Wedding (the weakest of the original cast films) and bought the heart back to the franchise that was lost since part 1. Also had one of the hottest women in Ali Cobrin as the next door neighbour who has a crush on Jim, she'd give Shannon Elizabeth a run for that hottest American Pie woman. She was smoking hot. But overall it's good ending to what became before.

I agree. After the massively disappointing entry that was American Wedding and then four movie of DTV hell this was the movie I wanted for so long and glady got.

This is the TRUE ending of the series I wanted, and am very glad it exists. I would make some minor changes of course but overall I think they nailed it
