How you feel about a third helping of American Pie will of course depend on how the first two servings went down. For some, these adolescent sex comedies were the living proof of how popular cinema had plumbed new depths in taste. For others, who spotted the essential sweetness at the heart of the confection it was a worthy successor to the John Hughes teen-fests of the 1980s. For this supposedly ultimate slice, in which series regulars Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) attempt to tie the knot, writer Adam Herz delivers the familiar recipe of bawdy set pieces that culminate in a shamelessly upbeat and sentimental ending. Nothing new then, and as revolting and foul mouthed as ever, but this will be a reasonably satisfying final course for Pie fans everywhere.
The cast may be growing up, but the jokes remain infantile.
Perhaps a sequel too far. While the overall cuteness and adolescent sex based humour continue in the (hopefully) final film of this trilogy, there are a couple of really gross out moments, which I really didn't enjoy (Pink Flamingos did the original). I still laughed outloud at some of the humour, but this was a dissapointment after AP and AP2.
What a laugh, not one to watch with your parents,, did'nt think I would like it but even the story has a slight twist or two , ,just to make you laugh out loud.
