Movie Review: American Reunion

I had to see this movie. I absolutely had to. The nostalgia factor was too strong. I simply could not resist...

So the last thing the world needed was another American Pie movie. I was really surprised they even bothered. I guess they figured old suckers like me would come out in droves to satisfy their morbid curiosity and seek closure in their lives, after spending the past decade wondering what happened to Mena Suvari's character (hell I don't even remember her name).

So it's the American Pie groups thirteen year high school reunion. Why they celebrate this milestone I don't know. Either way, the dudes are all grown up now and thoroughly hating adult life. Career's, relationships, family life...it isn't what they had thought it would be. This reunion gives the guys a chance to relive the past, make some new fun/wacky memories and hopefully create a spark in their otherwise suck ass lives. Of course the cruel wall of reality intervenes. The guys are in their 30's now and can't really get away with such stupid shenanigans anymore. That's about it. This movie is like a midlife crisis for millennials. 30 is the new 50 I guess.

Luckily, even though most of the main characters are pretty much boring shills who suck the life out of every shot they're in, there are FOUR saviors of this film who always bring the lulz or a major smile to your face.

#1: STIFLER

Steve Stifler has emerged as the heart and soul of the American Pie series. He pretty much carries the entire film. He says "fuck" a lot, is still girl crazy and although he's a mentally stunted man-child, he's totally fucking awesome.

#2: JIM'S DAD

He may have been the lame adult for most of the series but now that the rest of the gang are lame adults themselves, Jim's dad reigns supreme in the comic relief department. Seriously, he steals every scene he's in.

#3 ALI COBRIN

I don't remember her character's name but she plays Jim's neighbor. He used to babysit her when she was a child, now she's hot, grown up and wants to get busy. She gets naked, has an AMAZING body, and gets naked. Did I mention she gets naked???

#4: MILF GUY #2

Just look at him! The moment Harold appeared on screen with that rockin' mustache everyone in the audience (all ten of us) gasped with excitement. He might have been a uber obscure character in the first film but MILF Guy #2 is back and brings the lolz!

That's it. Those are the four reasons I enjoyed this film. Without them this film is nothing....but thanks to them I laughed pretty hard.
