No Tara Reid, no Shannon Elizabeth... how is this movie going to hold up against the other two?

Well, I'll probably get the DVD anyway just to complete the set.

EDIT: spelling

Jim's fiancee's (I can't remember her name heh) younger sister was pretty hot but def not on Shannon Elizabeth's level :(

There is a nice bachelor party scene though :)

Ehh...I was disappointed. A good movie, no doubt. I laughed a lot. But it has nothing on the first two. The first two have a sense of realism (kinda) to it, a genuine-ness to it that was the essence of the American Pie movies. This one lacked it. They also portrayed Stifler to be a f-bomb dropping asshole of all assholes, 10x the asshole from either of the first two. While it worked out in the end, there was no need to do that to his character. Will I go see it again? Yes. Will it go into my permanent collection? Yes. Is it better than either of the first two? Big fat no.

yeah, since when did Stiffler become such a big asshole?
in the first two, he was only a desparate horndog, not a total ass.

they didn't bridge the reason for why there was so much animosity between Stiffler and the rest of the gang.
and the "gang" was missing the big dude.

i agree, it sucked compared to the first two. seemed like they were getting desperate for cheesy laughs. some of the scenes were too predictable to be funny.
i give it a 3/5 :|

Yeah definatly better than the second one (although it had it's moments). Really laughed, I'm glad I got talked into going to see it.

Edit: just checked boxofficemojo, it's the #1 movie this weekend. Gigli debuted at #8 so my theory that people going to see how bad it really was would keep it in the top 5 was wrong :).

Yea. Hell AP2 left on a good note - they all had a pretty good time at the beachhouse. I thought it was kind of funny seeing Stifler drive a school bus though :)

wow i cant believe ppl here think it was better than the either of the first two. american wedding was a HUGE step down from the first two, not nearly as funny and with like half the cast not signing on for the third one it just wasnt as good. pretty shotty movie if you ask me. dont waste your money.

the story was mediocre...it was missing a lot of the classic cast....however, it kept me laughing for about 90% of the movie, and thats what these movies are about...so all in all it was great

movie was f-ing funny as hell......was laughing so hard my eyes started to water..........another funny thing is that there was this old couple propably in their 70's there. every time a the audience would laugh they would shake their heads.....wonder if they got throw off by the movie title, maybe they thought it was like my big fat greek wedding type movie, anyway it was hilarous watching them react to the movie, guess it was just a little added bonus for me.
