How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:146

Fresh:81

Rotten:65

Average Rating:5.8/10

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

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for sexual content, language and crude humor

Runtime: 3 hrs

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Aug 1, 2003 Wide

Box Office: $104,354,205

Synopsis: In this final chapter of the AMERICAN PIE teen comedy trilogy, mishap magnet Jim (Jason Biggs) and former band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) have decided to tie the knot. Jim's friends Finch... In this final chapter of the AMERICAN PIE teen comedy trilogy, mishap magnet Jim (Jason Biggs) and former band geek Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) have decided to tie the knot. Jim's friends Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) are on hand to help with preparations, but the trio soon gets an unwanted fourth wheel in the form of the eternally obnoxious Steve "Stifmeister" Stifler (Seann William Scott). Meanwhile, Michelle's lovely younger sister, Cadence (January Jones), arrives and quickly becomes the object of affection for both the scholarly Finch and the loudmouthed Stifler. Who will win the heart of Cadence? And how many things will go wrong before Jim and Michelle walk down the aisle? (Hint: A lot.) By once again balancing the lewd and the crude with the touching, AMERICAN WEDDING continues the charmingly funny yet gross streak of the first two films. Anchored by creator/screenwriter Adam Herz's obvious love for the characters, the film begins with a hilarious proposal scene and keeps the antics coming. As with past films, Biggs and Scott are the instigators of most outrageous acts, but the movie also gives ample screen time to comedy veterans Eugene Levy (once again playing Jim's always-understanding father) and Fred Willard (who portrays Michelle's overprotective dad). A fitting finale to the series, AMERICAN WEDDING doesn't involve pie, but that doesn't mean something can't happen to the cake.... [More]

The "American Pie" franchise throws in another kitchen sink of gross-out sight gags by screenwriter Adam Herz ("American Pie" 1 and 2) in this third, and hopefully final installment, of percolating testosterone commotion.

From one funny scene to another, Wedding throws so many laughs at the audience you can barely keep up.

[T]here's a subversive sweetness that runs just beneath the surface of the American Pie movies that makes them nearly impossible to resist.

Yes, those arrested adolescents are back for another helping of all-American teen smut.

[Seann William] Scott is more than ready for the spotlight, turning out one of the best comedic performances of recent movies.

Even fans of the first two films may find the proceedings pretty tiresome, but then they made those movies into hits, so anything’s possible.

Quem poderia imaginar que Stifler se tornaria o centro da série American Pie - e que isso seria uma coisa boa?

Nadia is nowhere to be seen and Stifler never surrenders the spotlight in what is the weakest link of the American Pie series.

... enjoy the cinematic conclusion of what happens when sexually active teens get to grow up instead of being killed off at summer camp by a maniac slasher.

...hopefully there will be more to come; it would be a shame if this really is 'Bye bye, Miss American Pie.'
