I love this movie because of Steeven Stifler, he's so amazing at every moment we see it.

American Pie will always be a good classic wild comedy to remember. If you've watched the good old time classic of "Revenge Of The Nerds", "Porky's", "Road Trip" and "Van Wilder" then you'll like American Wedding which also can be called American Pie 3.

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.

This is a great conclusion to all of the American Pie moives. The jokes are more sharp the before. Adam Herz did a great job of writting the finale to the trilogy. Stifler has more depth in this movie thn he had in the other 2. He is funnier and is more of a jerk than before.Also Jim is funnier and just a lil more perverted which is kind of hard to believe but it's true. Michelle is still the same nympho in the movie but has some funny scenes. Finch just made me laugh out loud of some of the things he gets into in this movie. Kevin has not that many scenes but he is still funny in this movie. Jim's dad is still the same funny guy like always but he is more funny than before, thank you Eugene Levy who plays that part you did a great job. And the movie soars with the addition of Michelle's parents ( Actors Fred Willard and Deborah Rush). The funniest scene has to be the right after the bachelor party when Jim and Michelle's parents are cluless of what just happened at Jim's house. But i will leave what happens in that scene to you all. The bonus material on the dvd is great. They have delated scenes, funny outakes, a documeantary on how stifler speaks, and more! What is also great about this dvd is that it has the rated version and the unrated version. So those who didnt see the movie in the theater can see the theatrical release( rated version) and the one with new scenes and extended parts of scenes(unrated version). The commentary is funny too. Sean William Scott and Jesse Dylan commentate and on the other feature commentary is Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Thomas Ian Nicholas all comentating on the movie( in my opinion the one with the 4 actors is funnier thant the one with Sean and Jesse but my opinion about that doesnt really count cause its up to you the one who buys this movie) All of the acotrs in this movie do great jobs and this is a deffinete must buy for ur DVD collection. So what are you waiting for go buy this movie now!

I am a HUGE fan of the first 2 pie films. My high school life was nowhere near as fun and exciting as this so I was intrigued from the start. The films had interesting and fun characters and it was easy to want to see more.

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.

This movie just tries to squeeze out a few more million out of our pockets by reusing all the jokes from the previous two movies. What you saw in the previews was about the extent of the jokes -- and those weren't funny at that.

The only worthwhile part of the movie -- if a part can be called worthwhile; nothing could have saved this disaster -- would be the acting of Seann William Scott. His ability to critique each moment with one of his memorable quips was somewhat interesting. Even with him, I still give the movie only 2 stars.

If you must see the movie in order to finish out the series, get it from the rental store or a friend, but do not buy it. You will regret it.

Insufferable, contrived, foul-mouthed drivel with absolutely NO redeeming features. Obscenity for the sake of obscenity. Like the 8-year-old who has just learnd his first "F" word and is going to 'impress' us all by repeating it over and over again. I can, unfortunately, see this junk appealing to certain groups of brain-dead teens. So can the Hollywood powers-that-be who are banking on the lemming-like stupidity of these unfortunates to part with their hard-earned bucks and soak up this boring slop! If you think this is even remotely funny, please NEVER talk to me. "0" out of "10".

The interesting thing I noticed about the reviews for this movie is that every review literally has a completely different opinion of it, regardless of how they rated it. Basically, I liked the original American Pie, and I thought American Pie 2 was even better. THIS movie was okay, but I think only people that are really, REALLY into the first two movies can appreciate it.

Jim has been dating Michelle for years, and he finally asks her for her hand in marriage, which she accepts. Eventually, Stifler decides to throw Jim a bachelor party, along with Jim's usual friends Kevin, Finch, and Oz -- wait, Oz isn't there. He wasn't even mentioned in the whole movie! What's up with that?

I read somewhere that someone said this movie should have been called The Steve Stifler Show. I totally see where that reviewer is coming from (especially since Seann William Scott got higher billing than Alyson Hannigan). Yeah, Stifler WAS the funniest character in the first two movies, but in comparing those movies to THIS one, it seems like the antics and situations he was in have gone from funny and dumb to just dumb -- well, during the first half of the movie, anyway. And you have to admit that the scene in the gay bar wasn't 100% necessary.

To me, the only character that was completely funny throughout the whole movie was Jim's dad (I have yet to see Eugene Levy on screen when he isn't extremely funny). The DVD extras weren't all that, either (but are they ever?) The "Enter the Dominatrix" thing was really kind of pointless, and the "Stifler Speak" segment (starring...who else?) really makes you start to wonder just whose movie this is. All in all, though, while not a total waste of time, I'm glad I only rented this movie. But if you already own the other two movies, you might as well add this one to your collection. American Wedding really helped make 2002 the year of Sequels That Nobody Went to See along with Legally Blonde 2 and Analyze That.

P.S. One thing that's been bothering me for a while...people complain about how vulgar and distasteful these American Pie movies are, yet nobody had a problem with Porky's?

I have all three American Pie movies on dvd and this one always makes me laugh the hardest. The first time I saw it, in theaters, I was really cracking up and so was the whole audience. If you don't like sex jokes, naughty scenes, stuff like that, then this isn't for you. This is raunchy comedy at it's finest. This is actually my fave of all 3 movies, and Stifler is so funny in this one. The gay bar scene is probably my favorite scene from all 3 movies. The soundtrack is really great, lots of catchy tunes. If you loved the first two I think it's a safe bet to get this one too, plus you'll complete your collection.

There's one thing you have to say for "American Wedding": like the two "American Pie" films that came before it, it is unapologetically unashamed of its shamelessness. Here's a film that doesn't try to hide its gleeful perverseness under a bushel of coy double entendres; instead the film revels in its frank and openhearted treatment of sexuality and lust. "American Wedding" is clearly a comedy about sex and it doesn't pretend to be anything but. Whether this is a good thing or a bad will, I suppose, depend on your own affinity and tolerance for jokes and images that routinely push the boundaries of common decency and good taste. In fact, the film wears its tastelessness almost as a badge of honor. And just in case you're unfamiliar with this series and its brand of humor, subtlety and wit are not considered virtues in an "American Pie" world.

In "American Wedding," Jim and Michelle - he a self-described pervert and she a self-described nympho - have finally agreed to tie the knot. The film centers around Jim's attempts to convince Michelle's square, uptight, sexually repressed parents that he is indeed husband material for their less-than-innocent daughter. The problem is that his efforts are consistently being undermined by the inane, out-of-control antics of Steve Stifler, the foulest-mouthed, dirtiest-minded professional adolescent this side of Bluto Blutarsky. Seann William Scott, in fact, steals the show as Stifler, providing an over-the-top manic energy that is both endearing and infectious.

Indeed, without Stifler, there would be precious little to recommend this particular "American" outing. The jokes and setups, for the most part, are crude and graphic without being very imaginative, and writer Adam Herz and director Jesse Dylan, even when they hit on an inspired piece of silliness (as when Stiffler winds up dancing mano a mano with a guy in a gay bar), end up diluting the humor by letting the scenes drag on well past the point where they're truly funny anymore. This is not to say that there aren't a few good laughs in "American Wedding," just that they don't come often enough to really lift the film much above the ordinary. Luckily, the funny moments increase a bit in the final stretches of the movie. In the film's defense, I would also add that, like its two predecessors and unlike many sexually charged teen comedies, "American Wedding" conveys a certain affection for its characters. In addition to Stifler, Jason Biggs as Jim and Eugene Levy as Jim's befuddled but strangely tolerant and supportive father come across as decent, well-meaning and likable individuals.

The film itself may be uneven, but as a character actor who makes an indelible impression on the material at hand, Scott is the genuine article. He transforms what is essentially cinematic rotgut into sweet-tasting vintage wine. All hail the Stifman!

This will be short and sweet. 2 Stars for the movie. It was alright. But the rest of the stars go for Alyson Hannigan. The hottest woman going.
