American Wedding Reviews |
The movie grinds slowly, inexorably toward the bawdy, bad-taste shenanigans that observe the decorum usually found only in the letters section of Penthouse Forum. The limp, boring jokes are relentless. The makers of ''Wedding'' have so effectively managed to make offensiveness seem tame that this could be subversion financed by the religious right. [read review] --Elvis Mitchell (The New York Times)
The third entry into the American Pie series, this movie is a vast improvement over the tired and uninspired American Pie 2, although it fails to make it to the lofty perch occupied by the first film. The recipe, which probably doesn't need additional refining, brings back some of the sweetness of the original American Pie, and combines it with the expected ingredients of excessive raunchiness and vulgarity. [read review]  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
There is no joke too low for the movie to stoop to, no melodrama too broad, no human weakness too pitiful to satirize, and yet, because the filmmakers and the actors like these characters and wish them well and want them to somehow live happily ever after, all is redeemed. The movie is vulgar? Vulgarity is when we don't laugh. When we laugh, it's merely human nature. [read review]  --Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
You can see some of their gags coming from a mile away; that enables you to cringe as you brace for another I-can't-believe-they-did-that moment. And there are many, some funny and some just disgusting. Still, these characters have grown on the audience and it's impossible not to root for them and hope that the ceremony, at least, goes off without something truly embarrassing. [read review] --Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
They should have just given Stifler his own movie or called this third installment in the AMERICAN PIE series STIFLER'S REVENGE or something, because without him, this film would be nothing more than a series of montages, musical interludes and generallyunsuccessful comedic set pieces, all organized around see-through, uninvolving and unbelievable "dramatic" sequences in which nobody really seems to connect in any way, shape or form. [read review] 5/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
"American Wedding" finds the "American Pie" franchise a full two films removed from its last breath of inspiration and flailing, blue-in-the-face, in the direction of anything that might reel in a laugh. [read review] --Mick LaSalle (San Francisco Chronicle)
There are a couple of surprises in the I-can't-believe-they're-doing-this vein, but mostly, "Pie 3" is an aimless charade of doggy poo, latex breasts and really, really bad language. [read review]  --Jack Mathews (New York Daily News)
We've grown to care about these dorks and loudmouths, and it's nice to hang out some more with them even though this is inferior to the previous movies in the series. [read review]  --Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
The movie is basically entertaining all the way through and does contain a number of genuine laughs. And that's something that's becoming quite rare among comedies. [read review]  --David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)
The always watchable cast do their best but the script feels strained and a lot of the gags fall flat - sadly, the Pie isn’t as fresh as it used to be. [read review]  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
If this is the last film in the American Pie series, it is a wonderful thing to know that the comedy franchise went out on a huge high note. [read review] 8/10 --Joseph Kastner (Movie-Vault.com)
Some things still sit uneasy - the stripper sequence feels degrading - but the target audience will lap it up. No sniggering at the back. [read review]  --Nev Pierce (BBC Films)
The only thing really disappointing is that Alyson Hannigan’s band geek character is underused in what is a really good comedy. [read review] 75/100 --Jamie Gillies (Apollo Guide)
The latest in the "American Pie" franchise is exactly the kind of movie that gives sequels a bad name. [read review] --Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)
Offers nothing new to the genre whatsoever - but chances are you'll laugh anyway. [read review] 6/10 --Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
Entertaining for its running time, but instantly forgettable the next day [read review] B- --Lee Tistaert (Lee's Movie Info)
Defines everything I hate about big Hollywood comedies [read review] D+ --Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)
Hits a home run in the laugh department [read review] B --Gareth Von Kallenbach (Lee's Movie Info)
