Review of American Reunion (2012) by Chad D — 30 Jul 2015

Here we are again for the last movie of this franchise. I don't know if I'll watch the so-called sequels in between of the Wedding and Reunion, but the first 3 movies and this one are the real American Pie.

This movie is all about the reunion of Jim, Kev, Oz, Finch and Stifler. It's been 13 years since they graduated and it's time for them to get back together and just try to have the most fun they can.

But, everybody grew up. Jim is now a married man with a child. Kev is a 'housewife'. Oz has a girlfriend and works as a TV reporter. Everyone has what they want, except, of course, Stifler. He's still the immature, impolite guy he has always been.

This movie pays a lot of tribute to the older movies and we hear them get refferenced everywhere. This time the soundtrack is a bit more modern, though we still get to hear some good ol' music like in the first 3 movies.

The humor is still there, but I just didn't find the movie as funny as the first 3. It did have some really cool moments, but there wasn't that much of them. There is quite a lot of gross, toilet humor that I sometimes thought was too much.

But this movie really does capture the style of the 90's and early 2000's comedy movies. It's fun, and that's what matters. All in all, a very satisfying conclusion to the franchise and let's hope that this will either be the last movie, or if there ever comes a new one that it does not suck.
