Critics Consensus

Raunchier and even more gross than the first two American Pies, American Wedding ought to please fans of the series.

By far the weakest of the series, laughs were way fewer in between than the first 2 and the lack of Oz was disappointing. The first 2 and Reunion is the trilogy in my books.

Easily the weakest of the trilogy. The acting is just ok. I mean besides Scott who isn't bad, no one else really has much charm or chemistry including the two people getting married who are barely in this for the middle of the film. Everyone else is just ok and kind of forgettable as well. There's nothing wrong with them its just there all just kind of there. The jokes 90% of the time fall flat and feel formulaic. I got a laugh once every 30 minutes or so. The cinematography isn't good. The camerawork is basic, the settings are forgettable, none of the visual gags really get a laugh but fall flat instead, and this is filled with pointless scenes. The music is boring and forgettable. The editing is terrible and the pacing is subpar. By the last 15 minutes I just wanted this to end because it has no charm, barely any laughs, and is extremely unfocused. This feels like its more a movie about Stiffler than it is about Jim getting married which is bizarre. This probably happened because they knew there wasn't much to the plot to begin with. After he proposes it feels like they set get married and in between stuff just happens particularly to Stiffler. Jim & Michelle just disappear in this for most of the middle of the film and than we go back to focusing on them somewhat. This film is majority about Stiffler than anything and is filled with pointless subplots like Finch vs Stiffler, Stiffler's romance, Stiffler and the grandma, the wedding dress all feels pointless. The bachelor party scenes goes on 16 minutes and is way too long and stupid especially. Honestly, unless your a die hard fan and wanna complete the original trilogy or are a big Scott fan, I'd say skip this.

Midwest Film Journal

Uproarious from raunchy start to rude finish, "American Wedding" is the embodiment of what the original "American Pie" aspired to be but fell short of — a go-for-broke riot that effectively combines touching moments with crass jokes.

Rated: 3/4

Good Morning America

American Wedding, the hardly awaited sequel to American Pie I and II, picks up right where the others left off. Which is to say it starts at the bottom and works its way down from there.
