American Reunion which is the long-awaited film featuring all the original characters from the original trilogy has arrived. If anything, this film offers up some sweet moments of nostalgia. While not as funny as the original films, this film still manages some hilarious moments and it's always nice to see these characters back together. Needless to say, this film almost makes me forget those atrocious direct-to-DVD sequels.This film is about how our favorite gang of Jim, Oz, Finch, Kevin, and Stifler grew up or should we say "not grown up." We head to the high school reunion and we see that maybe these guys haven't left high school left.It's nice to see all these characters back together again. I love how Jim gets himself in awkward situations still, how Stifler is still that obnoxious brat, how Finch is so mysterious, how Oz is a big hotshot, and how Kevin is a stay-at-home architect.Overall, this is a pretty funny film that offers up a few big laughs. The first scene was by far the best thing about the film. It's really nice to be taking this trip down memory lane because I hold the first three films dearly to my heart. This passes for a good reunion. I rate this film 8/10.

All of the reviews I have read, for the most part, state that this is a lot like the first AP movie, and that it is almost as good. Here's the truth: it's not. While the movie delivers some solid laughs, and a little bit of raunchy humor, it is far too focused on nostalgia. The little overtones and references to the original movie are humorous and well- placed, however they clearly tried too hard to make it reminiscent and it just came off as more of a feel-good, drama-comedy. The character development was good, and the plot was solid, but it was too mushy. Another big problem is that in an attempt at being reminiscent of the first, it repeated a lot of the original gags which really just came across as a little lazy. So, the movie is funny, at times hilarious, and at times sad. It's a fun watch, especially if you are an AP fan, but definitely not as strong as AP and AP 2. Beats American Wedding hands down though. It's fun, and a good look back at the movies so many people grew up watching and loving, but nothing all that special.

The original gang returns to Great East Falls thirteen years (yes, even Nadia is back in a cameo!) since John organizes a Class of 1999 reunion. Jim and Michelle have a little son, Oz is a semi-celebrity who has a supermodel for a girlfriend, Kevin is a stay at home husband, while Finch is living it up by travelling all over the world. Heather, a cardiologist, has settled down with a douche who masks himself as a good guy and Vicky, uh we don't really know what she's been upto. All of the characters are grown up and there are many different facets to them other than always being horny and on the hunt for sex, except for Stifler of course. He's still the same old dipsh*t living under his mother's roof, but now working under a Mr. Doraiswamy (Vik Sahay).I was not even a teen when the original trilogy came out. So, I watched them in a marathon when I was around 14-15. I love the first three Pie movies, but don't really care for the rest of them. This movie was definitely a pleasant surprise. Who knew Hollywood could get a comedy sequel right! Don't misunderstand me. There isn't much that's innovative or brilliant in this Reunion. The crude jokes, though hilarious and gross at times, are tame compared to the original movies. The nudity is also way low from before and it feels almost tasteful (in the way that these sex comedies can be tasteful). Speaking of nudity, Kara (Ali Cobrin) is just gorgeous and the female characters still don't have much to do in this. But hey men are as objectified as females (that ass flex will haunt you forever). So, there's that.There are a few flaws, the most important among them is totally forgetting about their baby by the end. This movie highlights how dumb it is to run after outer beauty, learning to trust your friends, doing the right thing among other stuff and its all clichéd, but just so well done. Its heartfelt and captured the essence of the Pie movies wonderfully. The ace up the makers sleeves is the return of the complete cast. This one will definitely make fans who grew up with the original Pie nostalgic.7/10

The fourth installment in the American Pie theatrical series, 'American Reunion' is indeed A Funny Reunion! High on laughs & gags, this 2012 Box-Office Blockbuster is surely worth watching!'American Reunion' Synopsis: Jim, Michelle, Stifler, and their friends reunite in East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion.'American Reunion' begins & ends, smoothly. Its got the attitude, the rudeness & the vulgarity, the American Pie movies are known for. Even the clever one-liners are damn good. Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg's Screenplay is adult-rated & hard-core. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is decent.Performance-Wise: Seann William Scott is awesome. Once again, he steals the show! Jason Biggs is very much in the mood, while Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas & Thomas Ian Nicholas are wild. Alyson Hannigan, Tara Reid & Mena Suvari are efficient. Eugene Levy is fantastic. On the whole, 'American Reunion' is certainly a delight.
