American Pie 4: American Reunion

Nice to see that the movie is about the original cast and how their lives are like as they got older.

Lets all pretend those dvd sequels never existed okay?

Looks pretty good and agreed.

Well it's about time.

Why did we need a seventh installment of this one-joke franchise? The series was never good to begin with.

Well you know that's just like your opinion man.

It's just going to be the same jokes you saw six times before redone yet again.

If there was a sequel that absolutely no one asked for, it's this.

Well shit. Do they actually think they can be witty and heartwarming?

I dunno. Once Judd Apatow came around, American Pie just couldn't compare anymore.

... I guess I'll watch.

Well that's just you Buscemi (and possibly other people), I along with every other person who grew up with the defining teen sex comedy will be watching.

You know, this endless whining and crying wasn't needed. Are you really going to waste our time with this? Did you really have nothing better to do? Let the people who want to see it, see it in peace. It doesn't have to be a master piece. Not every movie or book will. Sometimes we want some mindless fun and entertainment to amuse us for about two hours.

There's plenty of good mindless fun and entertainment, y'know. Like Citizen Kane.

While Citizen Kane is mindless... Entertaining, it is not.

So what's the general view on this movie anyway? At least when compared to the first three films, I mean. I plan on watching it soon, but I'm curious about what some people think of it before I go and see it, as I recently watched the first 2 American Pie films and plan on seeing this one as soon as I watch American Wedding {I'm skipping the DTD sequels}. I wouldn't even be asking had this thread not died out before AR even came out.

I quite enjoyed the film and I'd say it definitely holds up well compared to the previous instalments. Plus unlike the Direct to DVD films it brings an end to the series without pandering itself out too much.

I agree I also liked it and it does have a good ending to the franchise.

I liked it. As the series progressed, I think they did a good job of keeping the sex jokes and gross-out humor while introducing truly mature themes like how to figure out who's the right person in your life and how one keeps a marriage alive.

I don't think it really held up as a full movie in its own right, but it had a few things to say at least.
