Sandcooler "American Reunion" is a very belated sequel, and I always tend to be weary of belated sequels. I mean, you always ask yourself the same question when projects like these come along: do the makers actually think they can add something, or do they just want to squeeze the last drop out of this franchise while there are still a couple of dozen people that remember the original? Obviously cinema is a business, so there's always a bit from column B, but column A definitely seems to outweigh it. Original writer Adam Herz isn't on board anymore, but the new guys treat the source material with a lot of respect and actually seem to get what it was about. It thrives a lot on gross-out and sex-related gags, but that's not ALL there is to it. These are actual characters, there is an actual coherent plot, that's what has always made "American Pie" stick out amongst its numerous copycats (the abysmal "American Pie Presents"-movies are a prime example of doing it wrong). And much like the original, "Reunion" succeeds in a) making us laugh and b) touching a soft spot. Some of this stuff is actually pretty cheesy, but hell, the gang is back together damn it! A bit older, a bit less immature (Stifler has a job for God's sake), but they have still got each other's backs. While the disappointing "Wedding" seemed to close the franchise on kind of a downer, this one is definitely a more worthy conclusion. Way better than anyone could have expected.

Floated2 American Reunion is the 4th instalment in the American Pie Series. Having seen the previous three films in the franchise, my expectations were high but I was not expecting too much from viewing the trailer. I can say American Reunion lived up to my expectations. The comedy om this film is very well done and the chemistry between the leads are still there. The story is also quite interesting as we see more in the life of Jim (Jason Biggs), his wife Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) and his lifetime friends.Nostalgia definitely goes deep for many people and this is a reason why many have enjoyed this sequel. We see all the cast comeback and have its reunion and newer tension between some of the new members with recurring members. One new character in particular is Kara, a female whom Jim babysat in his younger years. Now she is much older and having just turned 18, so we get to see more of her reacting with Jim whom he did not realize it was her until she brought it up. Things of course get awkward yet entertaining in a couple scenes (Jim takes her home one night being drunk, a few top less scenes, then sneaking her back into her home). Her scenes were some of the highlights of the film. Others including scenes with Stiffler (he's the same as in American Wedding), and Finch. Overall American Reunion delivers on a very solid sequel and fans of the original franchise will much enjoy this. We can only see what happens next.

SnoopyStyle This is the fourth installment of the American Pie series. The gang is back and that's half the battle. Almost everybody makes a cameo; the MILF guys, Stiffler's mom, Shermanator, and even Nadia. Jim and Michelle are knee deep in childcare, and their love-life is in a rut. Jim's mom has passed, and Jim's dad has trouble dealing with it. Oz is a big time sports TV commentator, and has a flirtatious girlfriend he doesn't trust. Kevin has become the Mrs of his home. Finch is mysterious with wild tall tales. Stifler is stuck in a lousy job living at home making all the effort to recreate his wild high school ways.The gang's chemistry is back. It's great to see all the kids grow up and not grow up. The best part is the film's ability to incorporate all the franchise's history. And Jason Biggs shows the bits, somewhat squished.

Girish Gowda 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
