American Wedding

Movie Image


July, 24 2003

I went into this movie with the notion that it was going to be bad.  I kept thinking ok, how much funnier can raunchy, crude jokes be.  I laughed at both the previous films, but liked the first once much better, so how can a third match up.

I didn’t even want to like the movie.  But there I was watching Stifler go through a gay dance-off and was hysterically laughing.  This movie was definitely more than I expected.  What’s good about this movie is not that we laugh at the adventures the characters go through, but that we can relate on so many different levels with each character.

The movie starts off with Jim getting ready to ask Michelle to marry him.  And even poor pathetic Jim can’t pull this one off without getting into some embarrassing moment, that’s helped out by his more than understanding father

The rest of the movie just goes through the Jim trying to finally get to the wedding day without disaster happening, one of them being trying to keep Stifler from his wedding.

Growing up with these kids, now adults, you understand each stage they’re of their life because at one point or another we all know we have been there and now they are up to the marriage part.  Seeing Jim go to lengths to get Michelle’s parents to accept him is heart warming and touching to some extent.

I really had no problems with this movie, there are a couple of scenes that are just gross, but even then there is sense of funny going on there.

There are a couple of notable stars missing from this film, but they didn’t detract or add anything to the movie.  The movie was well done and Adam Herz did a great job at keeping the characters true to the themselves.
