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.Read full review
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 first saw this movie at the cinema and just had to get it once it came out on DVD. This uncut version includes extra scenes from the bachelor party which were not shown at the cinemas. Surprisingly however it isn't that dirty or as rude as the previous American Pies. The film is absolutely hilarious and makes a great final instalment to this awesome trilogy. Stiffler of course is the best character with him at his funniest in the 'gay dance' scene. Overall, a damn good film with great laughs & thankfully not as much sex!
A great ending to the collection of American Pie films. It is particularly good as it has all the original characters in it and the only ones missing ( and that was abit of a bummer ) were Oz and Heather, it would of been good having them in it. Some might say this isn't the end the American Pie films as they did go further with American Pie presents band camp and a couple of others but for true American Pie fans the one with the wedding was the end one as any American Pie film after that one had no original characters in it so that ruined them after that one.
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!!Read full review
