Scenes with Eugene Levy as Jim's lovably squirm-inducing dad or Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler's randy mom represent time well spent; a shot of some guys repeatedly screaming "MILF!" on a football field, not so much.
Full reviewThe full cast of American Pie (1999) return for a high-school reunion, from the directors/writers of Harold & Kumar. There have been seven American Pie movies, but three were spin-offs and this is the fourth in the "original" series (featuring the original cast).
Over a weekend the entire gang return to East Great Falls. In the years that have passed, Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) married; Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Vicky (Tara Reid) said goodbye; Oz (Chris Klein) and Heather (Mena Suvari) grew apart; while Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) still longs for Stifler’s mom (Jennifer Coolidge). These friends come home as adults to reminisce about - and become inspired by - the hormonal teens who aspired to lose their virginity in the summer of '99.

Full reviewI wouldn’t encourage it, but the East Great Falls High class of ’99 could return every decade to face new challenges while displaying the same case of arrested development.
Full reviewThe laughs that do achieve liftoff are killer. But the real kick is seeing the old gang back and ready to party.
Full review"American Reunion" seems to depend so much on nostalgia for "Pie" history that I wonder if a first-timer to the series would feel a little out to sea. If you liked the earlier films, I suppose you gotta see this one. Otherwise, I dunno.
Full reviewThe wild card in all this remains Seann William Scott's Steve Stifler, the rampaging id whose indignation at his peers' maturity provides most of the film's real laughs.
Full reviewIn spite of the new writing and directing team—Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg of the Harold And Kumar movies—American Reunion delivers exactly what’s expected, and at the come-what-may pace the earlier entries established.
