Outside of porn, there has never been a movie with so many shots of grown men eyeing teenage girls' backsides. The result is fitfully amusing but more often just creepy.

American Reunion tries to use nudity, sex, and fecal matter to generate laughter, but the jokes are tired and predictable.

Yes, American Reunion is a juvenile outing. They steal jet skis and defecate in beer coolers. They cheat on their girlfriends and lie to their best friends. But what did you expect?

None of it makes much of an impression, although there are a few nice and surprisingly heartfelt moments around the edges.

A strained, relentless quest for gross-out humor and outlandish sexual escapades.

Confirms the perception that only losers attend high-school reunions.

In the end, "American Reunion" even gets away with its sequel-baiting closing line: "Till next time!"

"Reunion" should be the last slice of "Pie," America.

Overall, the level of wit and invention from writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg is well below their scripts for the three "Harold and Kumar" movies.

An aggressively crass - and not especially funny - trip down memory lane, an attempt to recapture the sweetly ribald magic of the earlier film.
