MY REVIEW
The original  cast is finally back after 9 long year for the 4th installment of American Pie( I wouldn't call the movie in between to be real movies) .  When I first heard of this film, I wasn't sure whether this film could live up-to it predecessors. Did it?   Well somewhat yes and somewhat no. Watching this movie I never felt that there have been 9 years since the last movie. Nothing has changed apart from the appearance of the actors obviously.This could be taken in both positive as well as negative way.


This movie as the title suggests is about the high school reunion of the characters after 13 long years. They decide to come together in Michigan to celebrate throughout the weekend. This movie is about bringing back the old memories and creating some new ones.

Like most of the American Pie movies, this movie does not have a definite plot. The story is predictable but it is the stories between the various characters that looks quite interesting. The high of the film is the return of the Stiffmeister. Seann William Scott as Stifler has most of the funny lines and is the center of most of the funny scenes. Jim plays his usual self, the innocent guy who gets into trouble every time. His father is as embarrassing and funny as always.Oz is back in this one and has one of the better roles in the film.The other characters also make you feel the same way they did earlier.


Although there are some funny scenes, I must admit it is not good as the 1st one.This movie mostly works for the sense of deja-vu or the feeling of nostalgia provided you have seen the first 3 movies. I don't think people who haven't seen the earlier films would enjoy this one.


Recommended for the fans of the American Pie series. For the rest of you I recommend you see the 1st one only


MY RATING 7/10
