Synopsis

The third chapter in the American Pie movies. College is now over, and Jim and band camp girl Michelle are getting married. Which means bachelor parties, bachelor parties, bachelor parties.

Stifler (the hunky Seann William Scott) winds up at a gay bar (which tends to happen a lot in these straight T&A movies), but even his thick-headed buffon shows some enlightenment. After Stifler unknowingly ends up in a gay club, he realizes that there's nothing to fear: "Not every gay man wants to have sex with you." This actually offends him, and after a dance-off with a gay man, he proudly exclaims to his friends, "I told you that guy wanted to fuck me!"

Review

This by-the-numbers third entry in the American Pie series sees many of the cast members converging around the nuptials for Jim (Biggs) and Michelle (Hannigan). Of course, the true purpose of the reunion is to show off a series of gross-out gags involving pubic hair and granny sex, while the film lumbers in between the set pieces as it struggles to set up each one. Thankfully, the presence of verbal diarrhetic Stifler (Scott) puts a lot of energy into the otherwise flagging proceedings; his dance-off in a gay bar is an unrestrained relief from Jim and Michelle's surprisingly sappy romance. As Michelle's dad, Willard reunites with Levy and Jennifer Coolidge, a treat for fans of Christopher Guest's stock company. Yet all these talented performers also highlight just how disappointing the script is (Levy in particular has but one line that's funny). The unrated home video edition adds some marginal jokes while further deadening the pace.

This Pie is Burned

John Nail wrote on 03/29/2004:

Just as "American Pie" successfully revived the teen sex comedy, "American Wedding" almost succeeds in killing the genre. Most of the jokes are obvious, and telegraphed way in advance besides (the unrated version doesn't help matters by extending--and dulling the impact of--those jokes). The scene where the guys go to a gay bar seems to trade on the old fashioned notion that the very idea of gay people is a laugh riot (to the filmmakers' credit, they handled this bit a lot more sensitively than you'd expect). Though the story centers on Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle's (Allyson Hannigan) wedding, much of the movie is devoted to the Stifler (Seann William Scott) character--a character that's best taken in measured doses. The rubber-faced Scott plays the role like he's vying to be the next Jim Carrey, and by the movie's final third I didn't just want Stifler to get his cumuppance, I wanted him to die a horrible death. Only Eugene Levy's performance elicits any real chuckles, but even he isn't given much to work with. Like most desserts, you should stop after the first piece of this "Pie."
