This movie had a place on my blog before it ever existed. I remember sneaking in to see American Pie with a buddy of mine while we were on vacation with my grandparents. Ah, good times... noodle salad.
Anyways. This movie is only for people who grew up with the other films. Not the "Band Camp" or "Naked Mile" either. I mean American Pie 1,2, and Wedding. This movie reunites us with our long lost friends greading up for their late 10 year reunion.
Everybody comes back for the reunion. Jim (Jason Biggs), Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), Vicky (Tara Reid), Stifler (Sean William-Scott), Heather (Mina Suvari), Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas), The Milf Guys, Shermanator, Nadia, Jim's Dad (Eugene Levy), and even Stifler's Mom. Which is awesome.
Almost all the jokes revolve around our past experiences with these characters. So if you haven't seen the old ones (DO) then don't waste your time. You won't care about any of this. Some of the jokes aged better than others.
The sound track was the sound track of my youth, and every time I would notice a new song I remembered all the same junk this movie wants you to remember. Spice Girls, Third Eye Blind, Chumbawumba. Yeah, I dug it.
It was a reliving of the memories of years past with poop jokes, sexual tensions, and awkward moments. Just like I remember.
It also has those weird sweet moments that the others had. You don't really see until they are there. Like the freindships, or Jim and Michelles relationship. It really kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. even admist all the dirty humor.
This movie is just for us whom American Pie was their "teen-sex comedy". If it wasn't yours then don't bother, but me and my generation will love it for what it was as well as is.
Memories....
