RYAN’S REVIEW
Like the second movie, this is also very stupid and follows that same pattern of comedy sequels I went on and on about in the American Pie 2 entry. However I think this movie gave Seann William Scott a good platform to be funny and increase his popularity. While I thought he over did it for most of the second film I don’t get that impression from this one. It’s funny, but I tend to forget this movie actually stars Jason Biggs, it’s only watching it now and during the last couple of films that I even remembered who he was to begin with. I know that probably sounds stupid, but I always think of this as Seann William Scott’s series and he is at his best in the third film. I also hold the belief that no matter what kind of movie, or television show is being made, when you add gay guys into the storyline it gets better. This especially holds true with comedies, their characters are often exaggerated and very vibrant but they breathe life into otherwise boring story lines.
I remember expecting very little when I watched this movie for the first time and being pleasantly surprised when I laughed the whole time. This movie is the reason I bought the trilogy pack when I saw it, that and because I don’t like gaps in a series I have collected. I was surprised to find out recently that there is a fourth film being made for an early 2012 release. I guess that was extraordinary news for Jason Biggs, he must have turned back flips when he got that call from his agent. In truth I look forward to another American Pie, titled American Reunion, and I will probably go see it when it comes out. It’s because I found this movie so funny that I would even give a fourth movie consideration. American Wedding is a funny movie and a must see if you like the series, it is worth your time to watch.
AMBER’S REVIEW
I liked this one so much more than the second one. The first, the original is still my favorite, but I find this one funny and outlandish, but believable. I feel like we all have a Stifler in our lives. We try to hide him from our parents, family and some friends. We have one too, don’t worry. Ryan is right when he says this is his movie. For the longest time I thought that Stifler was the only character that Seann William Scott could play, but now having seen him in other roles (Role Models, Southland Tales) I know that he is actually more than just the asshole Stifler character. That makes him funnier to me somehow. He really does shine in this film. The writers here really know how to embarrass a character, which makes for a great story line. Very funny movie, if you have seen the first and second one, give it a go.
NEXT MOVIE: Annie Hall (1977)
