Critic Reviews

Robert Koehler

The 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. Read full review

Premiere Kelly Borgeson

So tasteless, so fiendishly puerile that it’s hilarious. Read full review

Lawrence Toppman

This isn't really a narrative: It's a collection of mostly unrelated scenes, about half of which pay off. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

A 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. Read full review

David Ng

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. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

The 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. Read full review

A.O. Scott

You'll see better film on ponds. Read full review

THIS MOVIE WAS SOSOSOSO FUNNY! In the beginning, you might think that this movie is going to really suck, but it won't. In the middle, it gets really funny.

I gave this movie a 10 out of 10 because for a comedy it made me laugh continuously. Not a minute was wasted. Even if the situation was totally absurd, as many were, the conviction of the actors in their roles was enough to keep it going. Stiffler and Finch's rivalry reached new highs and lows in this one as they compete for the affections of Michelles virgin little sister Cadence. Fred Willards addition in this third movie was welcome, even if his role was subtle.

I can't think of anything bad to say about this movie. The plots were simple but believable.. How complex can a wedding story be anyways. It made sense, it was funny, it was definately funnier than the second american pie movie.. im not going to say it was funnier than the first but I definately laughed longer and harder in this one. Well done. Plus Alyson Hannigan is somehow getting hotter as the movies progress..… Expand

For me this is one of the best comedy films I have seen. I really like the American pie films and this one is the best in my opinion. There are so many funny moments, especially scenes involving stiffler. The dance scene in the night club is absolutely hilarious.

The whole American Pie series just continues to produce consistently solid comedy films. There is really nothing out there like the American Pie films. I like that they took more time to focus on Stifler in this movie it was like he was the main character after being in the backseat in previous movies. American Wedding is full of all the crude, gross but creative humour you can stand and in the end you'll never feel as if you've wasted your time.… Expand

About as good as American Pie 2, the dialogue and banter between Finch and Stifler make this movie as funny and charming as it is. It's a good, funny film and a welcome addition to the series

With the participation of Shannon Elizabeth, "American Wedding" would've had a better monkey wrench than dead flowers to thwart the wedding. Herz suggests what a Nadia-fueled "American Wedding" would look like during a pre-wedding jitters rap session between Jim and his dad. Sean WilliamWith the participation of Shannon Elizabeth, "American Wedding" would've had a better monkey wrench than dead flowers to thwart the wedding. Herz suggests what a Nadia-fueled "American Wedding" would look like during a pre-wedding jitters rap session between Jim and his dad. Sean William Scott owns this movie. Giving Jim dance lessons was a nice touch. When Stifler eats dog poop, it's funnier than it has any right to be because he's a well-developed character.… Expand
