American Reunion Review (Minor Spoilers)

Yummy!

THE MOVIE: CRITIC'S TAKE

I always wondered how this group of characters would turn out. Would Stifler finally grow up? Would Jim and Michelle last as a married couple? And most importantly did Finch continue to bang Stifler's mom? All those questions were answered and then some in this comical sequel involving the original cast. I received a free screening and was delighted to see it two weeks before its release. I won't give away a lot of spoilers but I will say that the film still has the same feel of the other three and it's a must see.

STORY

It begins with Jim, played by Jason Biggs, and his wife Michelle, played by Alyson Hannigan, trying to put their baby to sleep. They finally do and they see an opportunity to get busy, but not with each other. It leaves Jim with a bloody dick and Michelle being caught with the shower hose. Jim learns that his ten year reunion is being held and hopes to get the gang together to relive their best memories. They all agree but doesn't want Stifler around to mess up their bond. Stifler is now someones bitch and wishes that he was still in high school again. He catches his friends at the bar and wonders why he wasn't invited. Luckily he's a dumb ass and they trick him into believing their BS story. They will wish that they would have shown some balls because Stifler got the party started and their lives almost ruined.

O yeah!

Wild antics ensued! Jim got involved with a high school student that wanted him to take her virginity. She wasn't going to take no for an answer and Jim spent most of the movie trying to fight her off and not give in to temptation. Oz, played by Chris Klein, has a wild and horny girlfriend that may be too much for him. He meets up with Heather, played by Mena Suvari, and her backstabbing boyfriend. Together they learn that they should have ended up together but will that be enough for them to rekindle their old flame? Finch manages to get into some trouble and fun of his own and Stifler is well Stifler, getting into trouble and causing mayhem. It was fun to watch.

SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!

ACTING

I couldn't find anything wrong with this department. Everyone had chemistry together. I enjoyed seeing Jason and Alyson together again. They looked so cute together. Chris and Mena pulled off the long lost lovers role pretty well. The man to see here was Sean William Scott. He brought this film to life with his whack humor and silly facial expressions. Every time he was on screen I couldn't help but laugh. I guess It's good to make movies with friends.

SPECIAL EFFECTS

The effects here were pretty funny. I enjoyed the lighting and the atmosphere the most. They didn't shy away from the crude humor and you will see lots of tits and ass and male penises swinging your way. One female actually squirts in Stifler's mouth which made him look like he stuck his head into the toilet. It was disgusting but very funny.

Pretty!

WRITING AND DIRECTING

The film was written by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. They did a great job with keeping the story at a decent pace and not neglecting any of the main characters. The dialog wasn't too bad either and nothing seemed forced. They wrote some good humor that will make you laugh out loud. Some of their problems were a bore but most of it will grab your attention. The directing is the best in the series. Nothing seemed out of focus and they were able to keep the actors true to their characters. They did an amazing job.

THE END

The movie is a must see. I loved how they were able to recapture the feel of the first two films (don't get me started on the third). It's funny, exciting, and wild. It will make a good date movie or a pre bar film before you have fun with the boys or girls. It's not a waste of money at all.

Buddies for life!!!
