American Reunion

American Reunion was a blast back to my young high school and middle school days. I honestly feel that the reason this film will be so successful is because it gives my generation a sense of nostalgia and makes you miss the easy high school lives. Like the characters we are trying to figure out what to do with our lives and trying to be adults. Still part of us misses the good old days when we were young and stupid high school kids. Yes the good old days! I have to say I was very happy with American Reunion. It was much funnier than American Wedding and honestly better than American Pie 2. This film had all of the characters take a deeper look at their lives and try to figure out what they want out of life. Plus the film brought back all of our favorite characters that we just can not seem to get enough of. Even the more minor roles from the first film make an appearance and it fills us with happy memories of the good old days. You remember the time you first heard what a MILF was and you know you never looked at apple pie or a flute the same way again. Plus the world finally figured out what really does happen at band camp.

The film brings all of our favorite cast members back home for their 13th year reunion....the reason it's 13 is because they couldn't get their act together for a 10. That sounds like it might happen with my senior class! We see Jim and Michele have a son and are in a bit of a marital rut. Shiffler is exactly the same except he is a temp at a job he hates. Heather is working at a hospital dating a surgeon. Oz is a small time celebrity working on sports center and dating a model. Fitch is a world travel living the wild dream life. Vicky is working in New York city and Kevin is married and playing house-husband with his wife. We can't forget about Jim's Dad who recently had his wife pass away and as always Stiffler's mom, the original MILF. The gang come home and are thrown back into all the old feelings and situations they always were in. Jim is being tempted by an 18 year old neighbor girl he used to babysit and Stiffler is still trying to keep the party going.

The movie is so funny you will be in tears. The movie is rated R and for very VERY good reason. There is nudity, both male and female. There is sex....DUH it's an American Pie movie. There is vulgar nasty despicable humor....which is honestly fantastic and pure gold! Be ready to be offended and even be grossed out because some parts are really nasty! Like I said it is so funny, it just brings me back to high school!

Over all I say if you love the first American Pie movie, you will love this film!

Over All: A-
