American Pie - The Wedding (DVD 2004)

Another slice of the gross-out pie in which Jason Biggs' Jim and Alyson Hannigan's Michelle have to overcome in-laws, strippers and Stifler to finally tie the knot
The title says it all really: in the latest American Pie instalment, pie-lover Jim (Biggs) is set to marry his flautist sweetheart Michelle (Hannigan), that is unless all the usual tasteless hijinks get in the way. For better or worse, American Pie is back, but unlike the funny, profane, yet thoughtful 1999 first episode, The Wedding sees the formula turn stale.

That there's a gaping hole where most of the other cast used to be (namely all of the young female characters except Michelle; and Chris Klein) is noticeable, but that Stifler is now elevated to an almost starring role in the film shows how far scriptwriter Adam Herz has turned the ensemble comedy premise around.

As Jim and Michelle prepare to wed, they're aided by (Jim's) best friends Finch (Thomas) and Kevin (Nicholas) who mostly try to elbow Stifler out of the proceedings. It's Stifler's attempts to infiltrate and potentially ruin the wedding that take over, and provide some of the film's funniest moments.

Seann William Scott may not be the most versatile actor, but his mugging and complete lack of vanity in a dumb-but-funny gay bar scene are at least amusing and infectiously idiotic. Although we're encouraged to despise him, it's a good job he invited himself to this otherwise sober celebration.

Verdict
The Wedding pushes its juvenile jokes and some supremely tasteless gross-out comedy again. Fans of the series will enjoy it, others should decline the invitation.

Stifler is absolutely hillarious in this movie, Had seen all the rest of them but this one is by far the best :) ryan

Doesn't measure upto American Pie 1 or 2, but still a great movie, just missing that wow factor to get it a 5/5

Some hilarious moments...
-In a restaurant Jims attempt to propose gives Michell the wrong idea, asking her to "use her napkin" (intended to have a ring inside it) Michelle looked at him in an aroused fasion, then responding " I have my own techniques" then passed under the table pulling down Jims trousers and giving him a mind -blowing- shock!

Stiffler intends to go to a club, and relises hes in a gay bar once hes inside!

And last but no least. Stiffler mistakes Jims gran for Michelles hot cousin (Yeah sure it was dark Stiffler)

A Good Teen Comedy

i liked this film because its funny and makes me laugh and there is nothing i dont like about it. i bought this film because its to go with the rest of my american pie collection and because its a really good film.

Breasts, bits, sex and swearing: welcome back teensploitation.

The leads in this third slice of pie may be graduates, but their characteristics remain the same. Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is still a square, Stifler (Seann William Scott) a jock and Jim (Jason Biggs) a self-confessed perv, about to marry his nympho girlfriend, Michelle (Alyson Hannigan).

As franchise fans will expect, getting hitched isn't hitch-free.

Within 15 minutes, Jim's lost his trousers twice - once when proposing, then meeting the in-laws. Dog molesting, excrement-eating and pubic hair problems follow, as the gross-out genre gets a kick in the noughties.

So, then, not exactly Shakespeare - although the Bard wasn't averse to a spot of smut. In fact, from As You Like It to The Canterbury Tales, popular entertainment has long had recourse to groin-centric humour.

Simply, it's fun. Crude and lewd, yes. In bad taste, no question. But The Wedding will make you laugh. American Pie re-started a cycle of teen sex comedies which, to use the vernacular, blew. Even its sequel sucked - reducing the characters to cardboard cutouts, souring the sweet kids of the original.

AP3 is just as crass, but includes just enough sweetness with the sour. Jim is a likeable everykid, but it's Eugene Levy who injects heart, as the caring father given to sharing too much information (Your mother can still make me squeal like a pig).

Amid the effing and grinding, there's a moral message to the movie. Making a marriage work requires compromise and sacrifice, says Jim's dad, while his schmucky son tells his bride-to-be, I think you and I are a perfectly natural, normal thing.

Brief and underplayed, these scenes are sentimental without being cloying: promoting acceptance amid the buffoonery and bawdiness. Some things still sit uneasy - the stripper sequence feels degrading - but the target audience will lap it up. No sniggering at the back.

TOP NOTCH.. DONT MISS IT!!

Excellent!! Excellent!! Excellent!!

When American Pie first hit the big screen, then DVD, I gave it a very wide berth. I took it as the usual shoddy American coming of age tat, full of humourless sexual gags. How wrong was I!! Well apart from the VERY FUNNY sexual gags!! Which have become less in this film I think to reflect the characters maturing.
Usually in any sequels, most films begin to lack what the original gave. This can never be said of American Pie 1,2 and this number 3 - The Wedding. All these coming of age films have been one hell of a rollercoaster ride. What better a way than to finish than with Jim (the unsung stud!), and Michelle (the former band Camp geek!) being wedded. Straight from start to finish, the story plays out brilliantly. From his restaurant proposal to michelle, to the final act of the wedding itself. Finch, Kevin and Stifler are still around to help out, but as usual things don't go exactly to plan. Its a change of charaacter for Stifler when he meets Michelle's younger sister, Cadence, and a battle of wills with Finch ensues. Infact, Stifler (Sean William Scott) virtually becomes the star of the show. A must see is his gay nightclub scene, where he struts his stuff brilliantly! In true Stifler fashion also, is the lost wedding ring scene, where he's feed the ring to the dog! Mmmm, lovely truffles :)
Don't sit here reading this though, buy it now, it's funny as hell.

AS YET I HAVE NOT VIEWD IT , IT WAS BOUGHT AS A FURTHER ITEM FROM THE SELLER ALONG WITH ANOTHER ITEM

really funny film and the thrid slice of american pie. Great film and my favarite slice of pie. definatly worth a watch

I've seen the film before quite a few times. It is definately the best of all the American Pie films. My boyfriend and I watched it twice over the weekend.

this is definately the best one out of the five. the funniest also. we laughed and laughed our heads off. all the american pies are excellent but this one tops it all. if you havnt watched it yet you dont know what you are missing

This is a great film. Absolutley hilarious. I have american pie 1, 2, 3 and 4. Looking for the naked mile though. They are all so funny.

Oh yes when you think that there is nothing more that those guys can get up to you have the flowers dying the night before the big day, pubic hair flying in through the window and landing on the wedding cake and the stiffmyster having a fumble in a laundry cupboard with granny. I think my ribs ached the first time that i watched this film. I'm not a big fan of sequels ut this film left me wanting to see more and wondering what the writers could come up with next. Make sure that you have the tissues before you watch this film, not because its a weepy but because you will cry laughing.

Very Funny, absolutely awesome to watch if you are into the teenage humerous films. Great follow on from the first and second American Pie films. Highly recommended.

This is a hilarious finish to the story of jim and michelle, he finally asks her to marry him with hilarious things happening to cause trouble on their big day you wonder whether things will turn out good for jim with steve stifler trying to get it on with michelle's younger sister causing some of the trouble,
great film to watch if you love comedies
