Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    A worn-out gross-out.

  • Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

    Funny when it needs to be. I don't know what more you can ask from the third installment of a series that has gone further than anyone reasonably could have expected.

  • David Ng, Village Voice

    The formula has long since hardened into a flaky mess.

  • Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

    If there was ever a case of Hollywood's over-stroking a formula to squeeze every last drop out of it, American Wedding is it.

  • Desson Thomson, Washington Post

    If you do not bring pride, good taste or sense to this third American Pie installment, you'll have a good time.

    "American Wedding" is without a doubt, the definite best of the series. Taking the original comedy and improving on it, smartening up the dumb comedy of "American Pie 2," and putting together a hilarious and heartfelt comedy from start to finish. The cast is… More

    The best part of the American Pie films for me has been the relationship between lovable yet geeky horndog Jim and Michelle the band geek who proved she has quite a wild side. First they hooked up at prom, then, in part two they genuinely fell in love. In this, the third (and for a… More

    American Wedding is a hilarious third entry in the great series. The story now revolves around Jim and Michelle, who are getting married, and if Jim can't screw it all up, than this wedding may be a good one, except for one problem... they all have to invite Steve Stiffler. The… More
