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.

Audience Reviews for American Wedding

    Apart from having a different plot there's not allot that feels fresh but if you're a fan of the others then it will be enough to enjoy.

    Just like the other films touch on milestones in the lives of a group of young male friends (prom night, college summers, etc.) this one is no different. This time, Jim and Michelle are getting married and the guys get to have another rite of passage: a bachelor party. Of course, what is an American Pie film without a little Stifler misfortune as well. While this one loses the magic of the first 2 films, you might as well check it out if you've seen the first 2.

    The humor is more over-the-top, and the morality is even more real and inspiring. American Wedding is that slice of pie that just as life fulfilling as the first installment. Though the film isn't as powerful as the original it's still a good edition to the American Pie franchise. 4/5The humor is more over-the-top, and the morality is even more real and inspiring.

    Michelle: Love isn't just a feeling. It's shaving your balls. "This time they're going all the way." Like every other American Pie film, American Wedding is just an average comedy. There's many laughs throughout, but I wouldn't call it a great comedy or even good comedy. It's average. There's nothing makes this movie anything more than just another raunch fest. The cast is serviceable as always, but other Stifler and Finch, none of these characters are anything to write home about.  Jim and Michelle have graduated from college and are now going to get married. All the normal, everything goes wrong gags are at work here. Nobody wants Stifler to be invited to the wedding, but he manages to find a way in. It doesn't help anything either, when Michelle's extremely hot, and virgin sister arrives. Stifler and Finch end up battling for her, while stuff keeps going wrong as the wedding approaches. There's really not too much to say about this movie. It's decent, but not something I thoroughly enjoyed. It has its moments and should satisfy fans of the previous two films. What made the movie watchable for me was Stifler acting like a good old boy in order to try to get his hands on Michelle's sister. In the end though, this was nothing special and just another addition to the American Pie franchise.
