40Suffers from a lack of good gags. That’s not to say there aren’t scads of chuckles scattered throughout – Dylan and his cast are nothing if not gluttons for the fast and cheap yuk (not to mention yuck) – but the howls of laughter that arose from Paul and Chris Weitz’s original slice of Pie just aren’t there.
-
50There's much more than a little Stifler here. Still, there's a recklessness to the character, as well as Scott's performance, that almost engenders respect; he's so determinedly unregenerate, so outrageously lewd, so unrelentingly grating, one almost looks forward to seeing just how far he'll go.
-
50Its commendable, if juvenile, sense of erogenous adventure is sullied by bland technique, canned suburban punk music, and the fact that all the exploration does amount to maturer characters.
-
63This isn't really a narrative: It's a collection of mostly unrelated scenes, about half of which pay off.
-
50Screenwriter Adam Herz is calling this third installment the last, and not a moment too soon: his characters have grown up, but his gags are still trying to graduate from high school.
-
75Although the movie cheerfully offends all civilized notions of taste, decorum, manners and hygiene, it has a sweetness that is impossible to discount, and it is often very funny.
-
38The crass sentimentality of American Wedding increasingly fits Norman Mailer's definition: "the emotional promiscuity of the basically unemotional." The jokes are unemotional, uncouth and mostly unfunny.
-
25Whatever novelty this series ever possessed has gone down the proverbial tube. The actors are on autopilot, and Adam Herz's screenplay panders to its immature target audience so cravenly and relentlessly that it verges on incompetence.
-
50Against all odds, the American Pie movies have actually gotten a little better each time out, though that's certainly not to say that they're, uhhh, "masterpieces."
-
16The third helping of ''American Pie'' offers little more than crumbs. Half the franchise's core cast (including Mena Suvari, Chris Klein, and Tara Reid) chose to skip the big fat geek wedding.
-
60Works because it pays tribute to these characters. I knew that American Wedding couldn’t be as funny as "American Pie 2" just as that film wasn’t as funny as "American Pie."
-
80The movie is enormously, convulsively funny, and it never lets up -- it has no shame.
-
30Scott's energy helps keep the movie going during its sluggish moments and animates its few bright spots, including a pleasurably dumb showdown on the dance floor of a gay bar.
-
50Best of all, though, is Seann William Scott as the profoundly annoying, profoundly vulgar Stifler.
-
50There 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.
-
50Some gut-busting moments, but for the most part the thrill is gone.
-
50A gagfest that makes viewers gag at least twice as often as they giggle, American Wedding -- third in the American Pie trilogy -- whipsaws the audience between gross-out and guffaw.
-
Junk this is and ever was, but this is well-acted junk.
-
75So tasteless, so fiendishly puerile that it’s hilarious.
-
63This 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.
-
25This third hunk of Pie is a worn-out gross-out, a remnant of a genre that now seems so five minutes ago.
-
10For sheer ineptitude, crassness and unwatchability, American Wedding takes the cake.
-
25The strain and desperation are apparent from the first scene.
-
67It's often helplessly hilarious in its adolescent gross-out way, yet the cast periodically invests the film with sweetness.
-
70Combining raunchiness and sweetness in a slapdash but generally effective manner.
-
75Speaking personally, I wouldn't voluntarily go to this flick. But for those with a greater gross-out threshold, it's a better film than anyone should normally expect in this genre.
-
60The familiar formula feels significantly watered-down the third time around.
-
10You'll see better film on ponds.
-
60Is this sophisticated humor? No. But it is pretty entertaining.
-
63Spotty and uneven, Wedding shouldn't even have the embarrassed guffaws it has, and it probably wouldn't were it not for a robust cast.
-
80The funny stuff continues for a quite satisfying conclusion during the wedding prep and ceremonies, which Stifler single-handedly transforms into his own personal gross-out comedy masterpiece.
-
The deliriously overacting Scott is game for anything, too much really, but as a one-man army against the tide of Z100-scored banality, he's the closest thing the movie has to a savior.
-
10A gross-out saga that sentient adults should avoid like the plague.
-
80If you do not bring pride, good taste or sense to this third American Pie installment, you'll have a good time.

KaseyS.8American Wedding is definitely a worthy addition to the American Pie series. One of those movies you can watch several times and still laugh.
-
