Even though Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) have been dating for several years, she's still surprised when he proposes to her in their favorite restaurant. After she happily agrees, Jim asks his best friends, Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Paul (Eddie Kaye Thomas), to help him make sure the wedding goes as smoothly as possible. As the big day approaches, trouble arises when the trio learns their hard-partying friend, Stifler (Seann William Scott), is in town.

Critics Consensus

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

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.

Rated: D

Another worthy sequel with fun and memorable moments, though it’s not quite on the same level as the original two.
