Adam Herz comes back and pens his third story for the American Pie series and he proves he still has a lot of material left. This movie truely has to be about the exploits of Stifler with Jim and Michelle's wedding as the main story plot. Most of the Characters come back for this third piece of pie including, Jim, Kev, Stifler, Michelle, Finch, Jim's Dad, and Stifler's mom. This story never gets old and continues to be original and witty. There are some really funny scenes in this movie including the dance off between Bear and Stifler. Another great scene has to be when Stifler eats the chocolate, "It tastes like twigs and berries."

It's the best of the American Pie franchise. I like that they focused more on Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan's characters than they did in the previous two films. Seann William Scott plays his character way over the top, and that's they way that character should be played, instead of playing him to be a complete ass. It's a very funny comedy, and because of that, this gets a 10/10, strictly as a comedy.

It's not really an American Pie, but it's still funny. I was a little upset with the exclusion of Oz and Heather, which I would imagine had to do with the fact that they couldn't get Mena, and so they just wrote out Oz, with no explanation that was annoying. Stifler is awesome. The Dance scene in the gay club is the highlight of this film.

Excellent ending for the American Pie trilogy although the grossout humour is a little overdone in this movie, especially the pubes and truffles scene although Michelle is at her funniest in this movie and despite the absence of Oz and others, the movie remains entertaining, especially the Bachelor party and danceoff scenes and also has the right amount of emotion which was overdone in the second film.

Stifler's mum at the end was expected and seemed tacked on but it is great in all sequels to have a few running gags, in this case the opening being the most embarrasing start yet in a crowded restaurant and Jim's dad as always has some embarassingly hilarious advice for both Jim and Michelle in this movie.

Overall, the movie is quite funny and deserving of an American Pie title.

Again another great comdey for the series, but Stiffler is a little over done by now and even the unrated version he needed to be in less of the show. Overall great one liners and classic comedy momment we have come to love from this cast while not a whole this time. Worth a night for a good laugh.

I thought that this third movie in the American Pie series was actually very funny, despite the fact that the entire cast from the first two did not return. Honestly, Stifler's character really made this movie a standout. From him trying to hit on Michelle's sister to his ruining of the flowers, Sean William Scott delivered another solid performance as Steve Stifler. Definitely a must see for any fan of teen comedies and especially fans of the American Pie series.

Just as funny as the first two which I'm suprised at because most comedies that add sequals don't really have good ones. This one definitely kept me laughing and was enjoyable to watch.

Wow. The third one is still great. Even with the first two amazing movies, the quality didn't stop there. This movie is just as amazing as all the other ones. While watching our gang growing up, we actually get to realize that they are still the freaky and funny people from the previous episodes. It's truly a classic movie.

This is probably my favorite American pie because it has the most laugh out loud moments.My favorite Seen would be the dance off.

  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.

  The movie is enormously, convulsively funny, and it never lets up -- it has no shame.

  Speaking 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.

  Although 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.

  It's often helplessly hilarious in its adolescent gross-out way, yet the cast periodically invests the film with sweetness.

  Spotty and uneven, Wedding shouldn't even have the embarrassed guffaws it has, and it probably wouldn't were it not for a robust cast.

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

  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.

  Works 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."

  There'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.
