"American Reunion" is a very belated sequel, and I always tend to be weary of belated sequels. I mean, you always ask yourself the same question when projects like these come along: do the makers actually think they can add something, or do they just want to squeeze the last drop out of this franchise while there are still a couple of dozen people that remember the original? Obviously cinema is a business, so there's always a bit from column B, but column A definitely seems to outweigh it. Original writer Adam Herz isn't on board anymore, but the new guys treat the source material with a lot of respect and actually seem to get what it was about. It thrives a lot on gross-out and sex-related gags, but that's not ALL there is to it. These are actual characters, there is an actual coherent plot, that's what has always made "American Pie" stick out amongst its numerous copycats (the abysmal "American Pie Presents"-movies are a prime example of doing it wrong). And much like the original, "Reunion" succeeds in a) making us laugh and b) touching a soft spot. Some of this stuff is actually pretty cheesy, but hell, the gang is back together damn it! A bit older, a bit less immature (Stifler has a job for God's sake), but they have still got each other's backs. While the disappointing "Wedding" seemed to close the franchise on kind of a downer, this one is definitely a more worthy conclusion. Way better than anyone could have expected.

American Reunion is the 4th instalment in the American Pie Series. Having seen the previous three films in the franchise, my expectations were high but I was not expecting too much from viewing the trailer. I can say American Reunion lived up to my expectations. The comedy om this film is very well done and the chemistry between the leads are still there. The story is also quite interesting as we see more in the life of Jim (Jason Biggs), his wife Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and his lifetime friends.Nostalgia definitely goes deep for many people and this is a reason why many have enjoyed this sequel. We see all the cast comeback and have its reunion and newer tension between some of the new members with recurring members. One new character in particular is Kara, a female whom Jim babysat in his younger years. Now she is much older and having just turned 18, so we get to see more of her reacting with Jim whom he did not realize it was her until she brought it up. Things of course get awkward yet entertaining in a couple scenes (Jim takes her home one night being drunk, a few top less scenes, then sneaking her back into her home). Her scenes were some of the highlights of the film. Others including scenes with Stiffler (he's the same as in American Wedding), and Finch. Overall American Reunion delivers on a very solid sequel and fans of the original franchise will much enjoy this. We can only see what happens next.

This 4th theatrical 'Pie' film (ignore the 4 direct to DVD releases) is actually a very enjoyable reunion with the original characters. 13 years have gone by and it's entertaining to see how they and their lives have changed, and as a viewer it's also a bit of a nostalgic look back to times passed. The original Pie movie dated from a time when there where no cell phones and the internet was a newer technology. The makers clevery weave in all the guys and girls from the original films and the story is as well written as it could be. If you liked American Pie then I certainly would recommend this film. The 6,8 IMDb score for once is justified, but maybe not for 'Pie' haters or people who haven't at least seen (and remember) the first one.

The fourth installment in the American Pie theatrical series, 'American Reunion' is indeed A Funny Reunion! High on laughs & gags, this 2012 Box-Office Blockbuster is surely worth watching!'American Reunion' Synopsis: Jim, Michelle, Stifler, and their friends reunite in East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion.'American Reunion' begins & ends, smoothly. Its got the attitude, the rudeness & the vulgarity, the American Pie movies are known for. Even the clever one-liners are damn good. Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg's Screenplay is adult-rated & hard-core. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is decent.Performance-Wise: Seann William Scott is awesome. Once again, he steals the show! Jason Biggs is very much in the mood, while Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas & Thomas Ian Nicholas are wild. Alyson Hannigan, Tara Reid & Mena Suvari are efficient. Eugene Levy is fantastic. On the whole, 'American Reunion' is certainly a delight.
