Movie Review: American Reunion

In the words of Thin Lizzy, The Boys Are Back in Town. In this 4th "official" American Pie movie, the original crew is back and just as raunchy and sex-obsessed as ever. Jim and the gang are back in town for their 13th High School reunion. Jim (Jason Biggs) is married to Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and they have hit a "rough patch" in their marriage due to the birth of their son. Oz is a "celebrity" sports show host, now made infamous by his appearance on Celebrity Dance-Off. Kevin is also married, yet is forced to sit through "girly" drama TV and play househusband. Stifler is well...Stifler. Still living at home with his mom (played by the hilarious Jennifer Coolidge). So, as usual, things get wild, temptations rise and are either given into or overcome, and everyone is happy in the end. Especially Jim's Dad (played by Eugene Levy), who gets with Stifler's mom. There was not a single moment in the movie where I was not laughing, and the comedy was very well paced. It was nice to see literally EVERYBODY from the first two movies, and to see what happened to them after high school. A very funny movie with a cast of very funny actors/actresses. I must say, it feels good to be reunited with the original crew after all this time.

Rating: A-
