The Movie Diorama Obviously the purpose of a reunion is to recall memories with friends and family where hopefully laughter and happiness is everywhere. In theory, that's how it should work. Although practicality is a different flavoured pie altogether, where this pie has crumbled into an unfunny pile of crumbs. The class of 1999 organise a high school reunion which leads to old sexual sparks being reignited. It's an ensemble sex comedy. Much like the first, second and third theatrical entries in the franchise. The premise, plot, characters and jokes remain the same. That was slightly humorous back in 1999 when the characters were hormonal teenagers looking to lose their virginity. Now, with them all becoming well-established in their lives and careers, to use the same raunchiness and sexual behaviour becomes outdated. That pretty much sums this comedy up. Obsolete. The screenplay is completely reliant on nostalgia, where identical jokes are recycled from the original, that it prevents the franchise from progressing forward. Director/writers Hurwitz and Schlossberg clearly lacked the bravura and bravery to advance the series, and it shows within the first five minutes when Jim grabs a sock for his personal pleasure (again). Funny 13 years ago, not funny now. Stifler and Jim's dad are really the only characters that are funny. The plot itself is just a mixture of sub-plots that forcibly attempt to develop the characters in a typical "friendship is important" moral, just like the other instalments. How many of the same scenarios must these characters undergo to adhere to this message? Seriously! I will say that the returning of all the original cast members was required, it was interesting to see how they've all physically changed. The balance between each of the main characters, given the modest runtime and extensive cast list, was exceptionally executed. Aside from that, this pie has expired. Fans of the franchise will enjoy the onscreen shenanigans, others will forget about its bland unfunny flavouring.

CinemaClown The fourth instalment in the American Pie series may feel like an unnecessary addition after American Wedding concluded the saga of Jim & his friends on such a satisfactory note but American Reunion turns out to be a very pleasant surprise for it packs in a massive dose of nostalgia and manages to work solely on the basis of that particular element.Set 13 years after the events that transpired in American Pie, the story of American Reunion finds the original gang returning to the place where it all started as they gather together for one weekend for their high-school reunion. With over a decade behind them, everyone tries to find out what the other has been up to all these years but as always, things soon head in the unexpected zone.Written & directed by John Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg, this movie shouldn't even work considering that it neither adds anything new to the saga nor features any memorable gags which were offered by the last three chapters in heavy doses. It echoes a much relaxed feel when compared to its predecessors, an extra dash of sweetness in the returning characters and the nostalgic factor is in top gear mode here.While there are plenty of shout-outs to numerous past memories, the present life of these characters carries a funny vibe of its own. Stifler is still a crackerjack, Jim's dad is still the best, the humour may not be as crude & excessive as before but it still offers good laughs, the plot nonetheless feels a tad too long at 113 minutes, the heartwarming charm is still in tact, and the entire cast performs sufficiently in their given roles.On an overall scale, American Reunion is a flip back through the old pages that revives the wonderful memories of the past and leaves its mark in the form of a pleasant smile. Its plot is forgettable, the writers fail to come up with any outrageous moment of comedy that can match the ones present in its predecessors, but by riding on the strength of nostalgia and offering many welcome nods to the original, American Reunion will succeed in entertaining its targeted audience.

slightlymad22 American reunion is a nice addition to the American Pie franchise. Sure it's not as good as the first or third movies, but it's on par with the second, which was still funny.Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Sean William Scott, Mena Suvari, Thomas Ian Nicolas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Shannon Elizabeth, Jennifer Coolidge and Eugene Levy are all back, and so are the laughs. Plot In A Paragraph: It has been over a decade since the gang graduated from East Great Falls. They will discover how their lives have developed as they meet up for their high school reunion. How has life treated Michelle, Jim, Heather, Oz, Kevin, Vicky, Finch, Stifler, and Stifler's mom? In the summer of 1999, it was four boys on a quest to lose their virginity. Now Kara is a cute high school senior looking for the perfect guy to lose her virginity to.Some of the cast have aged more than others, but that's probably down I problems in their real lives. Look out for the always awesome Neil Patrick Harris (Alyson Hannigan's co star in "How I Met Your Mother") in a cameo role.

powermandan Jim, Michelle, Kevin, Finch, Stifler, Stifler's mom, Jim's dad, and the MILF guys are all back again. Making their triumphant returns include Oz, Heather, Vicki, Jessica, Nadia, and Sherman. It has been a long time since the group has been together, and their high school reunion is the place to reunite. With jobs and families, these friends want to relive some memories for old time's sake. But the re-sparks of old flames and battles of current teenagers proves that things have changed. One thing that every original American Pie movie had was the strength in comedy and character development. Nothing has changed in this. The comedy is still sidesplitting and the characters are so deep that you will fall in love with them again. Like American Pie, there is a perfect mix of drama and comedy. Unlike American Wedding, there is an even distribution of character development. Yes the characters have changed and do change more, but you can still see the same high school kid from 1999 underneath it all.
