American Reunion
2012 Directed by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg
Synopsis
Save the best piece for last.
In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about - and get inspired by - the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

Reunions are normally depressing affairs - meeting old flames who are now obese, friends embarking in a game of oneupmanship to see who has had the more successful life post-school whilst the only common ground you now share is reminiscing about the good old days. American Reunion is equally depressing but mainly because it feels like a cynical cash-in created purely to give the stars a nice easy pay day, and some need it more than others. The first American Pie was decent enough but the subsequent sequels were an obvious case of diminishing returns and this, the third official sequel, continues the downward spiral.
Once again the only reason to bother watching the film is Seann William Scott’s Stifler…

Seeing an American Pie film in 2012, I can't really be mad or surprised or upset when it turns out to be torture to sit through. But here's some stray observations:
After 4 film appearances, all we still know about Jim is that he masturbates a lot and gets punished for it. Rick Santorum would approve. After this amount of public sexual humiliation, you'd think he would have learned to be honest the moment he becomes trapped in a situation, but no. I suppose if this character was even remotely self-aware he would have committed suicide by now and we would not have a franchise.
The women of this series could not matter less. Someone though decided Mena Suvari's forehead…

Being a fan of the original trilogy, and the original American Pie being easily one of my favorite high school films, I couldn't have asked for a better revisitation for these characters I've come to love so much. Seeing the entire original cast coming back together definitely gave me lots of nostalgia, and it's really hard to think, it had been nearly ten years since we've seen these actors on screen together.
The great chemistry between the five main actors is all still there, these guys all really feel like great friends, and the entire gang is as loveable as ever. Sean William Scott, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Eugene Levy once again all steal the show as Stifler, Finch, and…

Sing along everyone! You know the tune!
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that movie used to make me smile
And, I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people glance, and...
Maybe they'd be happy for a while
But, Reunion made me shiver with every word it delivers
Bad news on the movie screen – Even with all the boobies seen
I can't remember if I cried when I saw and wondered if they tried
Something touched me deep inside the day this series diedSo, don’t try try more American Pie
Eyebrow heavy Eugene Levy, tell this series good-bye
Them good ol' boys were telling jokes with no wry, singing...
Please God don’t make a part five
Please God don’t make a part five -
This is pretty terrible.
It is occasionally entertaining to have these characters back In our lives again. But actually it turns out they are obnouxious dicks.
Stiffler is still fucking funny however.

The perfect revisitation of these characters thirteen years on, no more, no less. Some of the story threads work better than others, and the same is true of the jokes. But chiefly, this (hopefully final) sequel retains the heart of the original, in all its infantile glory.

Another piece of pie. Some funny moments, but still not as good as the original although it was nice to see the entire cast back together for this one. That is worth the viewing and the possible rewatch a few years down the line

Crítica hecha, con todo lo que eso conlleva, el 13 de abril de 2012 en FilmAffinity:
Antes de pasar a la crítica de la película voy a hacer una recomendación que no debería hacer, no debería ya que es de sentido común pero parece que no abunda mucho.
Juro que como lea una crítica diciendo "igual de mala que las 3 primeras" "más de lo mismo" "no sé cómo puede gustarle esto a alguien" etc... los voy a matar y a violar a sus madres (bueno, esto último creo que no). Es algo que no entiendo quizá soy muy gilipollas pero.... mejor lo explico con ejemplos.
Señor A ve por curiosidad AP, no le gusta y la pone a parir.…

This was an enjoyable enough diversion which I will quickly forget. I feel the same way about the rest of the series, so I guess that's fine.
-
It's an American Pie movie with the entire original cast. Raunchy with a few good laughs. It's pretty much the same movie you've seen three times before, but with slightly different jokes.
-
Aside from a few laughs, Reunion is little more than the same formula and gags as the previous films, resulting in a tediously overlong and all-too-familiar affair.
In a way I feel kinda sorry for Jason Biggs as he will forever be known as the guy who fucked a pie, but then again I don't expect to see him in that much more.

Fond memories, but goes through the motions. Script doesn't try enough. But Stifler's still a gem.

Um filme que já andava para ver há séculos mas que nunca me apeteceu. Lembro-me perfeitamente de ver os filmes do American Pie com o meu irmão e de todos os anos esperar que estreasse um filme novo na TVI para poder ver. Foi bom voltar a ver um destes filmes e, apesar de não ser genial, ainda me fez rir e desejar para que o Oz e a Heather ficassem juntos no final.

The gang is all back together again. Watched it with my boyfriend, after he insisted I had to see it. It was fun, with all the same jokes and humor you'd expect. I'll probably add it to my collection at some point.
