American Wedding is the funniest film in the American Pie series. Most of the original gang is back to see Jim and Michelle tie the knot. But, the two characters have to overcome a couple of obstacles. One obstacle is making sure Stifler behaves himself. Does he... not really. Stifler throws a bachelor party when Michelle's parents are supposed to turn up, eats dog crap while saying it's chocolate, losing the ring, and having sex with Jim's grandmother. Stifler is by far the most funniest character in the film, especially when he plays nice boy. Jim and his father are funny, too. I liked the part when Jim shaves his privates and throws the shavings out the window and into people's mouths and wedding cake. The characters are original and hilarious. The acting was great, so was the directing. As with the first two films, there is a great soundtrack. I recommend seeing this grand finale. I rate this film a 10/10.

Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are getting married. We get introduced to Michelle's family (Fred Willard, Deborah Rush, January Jones). The gang is back. Sadly for Jim and Michelle, so is Stifler (Seann William Scott). He insists on butting in on their lives. If only Jim doesn't need Stifler to teach him how to dance.

It's one outrageous setup after another. Certainly the humor level is the expected level we've come to love from the previous two movies. There are some missing actors like Chris Klein and the girls. The franchise is resting on much fewer hands. It is mostly Stifler going crazy and embarrassing Jim at every turn. Without the rest of the cast, this is too much Stifler. It becomes a slapstick sitcom with much of the heart missing.

It's the wedding of Jim and Michelle and the gathering of their families and friends, including Jim's old friends from high school and Michelle's little sister.

I was never very big on the whole crude humor craze of the late 1990s. The "American Pie" films and "Van Wilder" were funny, to be sure, but also stunted by their juvenile and often grotesque situations. With "Van Wilder", the dog cream pies should never have happened, and in this film there are a few moments that might be disgusting to many viewers.

But there is a little bit of sweetness to this one. Despite all the sex and poop, there is still a bond of friendship and a romantic love. Well, sort of. So, in many ways, this is on par with the original, maybe even better in some ways. But, of course, why am I so concerned about a film series most known for Jason Biggs making love to a pie?
