American Wedding

The only flaw of the movie is some characters are missing. Oz, Heather, Vanessa and that other chick that had no interest with Finch. The Sherminator was left out too. What's the deal with that?

But it still was a good flick. Stifler still made us laugh like never before. He goes in to ruin Jim's party. He was almost convicted of raping a dog while Stifler fell down because one of the dogs knocked him down and licked off the cake frosting to you know where.

Makes you wonder if Stifler is gay. Well, he didn't hesitate to kiss with Ashton in "Dude where's my car?". And poor Stifler lost the wedding ring while the little dog ate it and "dumped" it in the grass. Boy was that funny trying to play it off like it was chocolate and you should've seen Finche's reaction.

Once again, it hasn't lost its touch where Finch scores with Stifler's mom at the end. But poor Stifler ends up scoring with the band chick's grandma-Uuuggghhh! Gross!

A good comedy indeed.

I missed the 3rd film "American Wedding" when it was in the theatre. I wasn't pleased that a majority of the cast was absent from this outing, so I just didn't bother.

I just picked up the DVD, and watched it last night. I was to say it was better than I thought it would be, but still just average.

What's sad is the premise had so much promise and with all that was built up about the bachelor party scene, I thought I was in for a rare treat.

Jason Biggs & Alyson Hannigan are still both excellent in their roles. There was a level of sweetness that really isn't seen in the first 2. Eugene Levy has an expanded role in this 3rd film. He is so welcomed. I have enjoyed his character and never think he's "too much". It's nice to see this guy get some comedic respect after all these years.

The biggest problem I have is with the "Stifler" character. In the beginning of this movie... his foul-mouthed antics are so over the top that it's annoying. It appears as if he didn't want to do the movie so decided to do a parody of Stifler. His character is just as unwanted onscreen as it is by the viewing audience.

The other BIG letdown is the "Bachelor Party scene". Don't get me wrong; I like naked women just as much as the next guy, but this was lame; especially when much of the hype was about this scene. Sure the girls are smoking hot (most notably Nikki Schieler as the cop). But the scene falls desperately flat soon after. To the point where the gags are no longer funny but just sad. What should have happened is the Bachelor Party should have been the focus of the film, much like the first 2 where a major party was the focus. That would have been a nice way to draw in the other cast members to come back.

After seeing the movie, it's easy to see why most of the cast did not comeback. The only question I have is, while Shannon Elizabeth will no longer do nudity and Mena Suvari is married to a very successful cinematographer, what is Chris Klein so busy doing that he can't come back as Oz? He's gone nowhere since the first 2 films.

There are some great "toilet humor" gags in the film. I am a big fan of toilet humor and just watching Jim land into awkward situations is funny. Also seeing someone eat poop, while gross, is still pretty funny.

All in all this was just an average film, a decent ending to an otherwise great franchise. I think it could have been much better if the creators paid more to substance than to cashing in on the name.

If you are looking for a really funny college movie, I say get your hands on Van Wilder, that's a film that won't let you down.
