American Reunion (2012)


[only for the fans]

American Reunion (2012)
IMDB- 7.3
RottenTomatoes- 44
RJG Rating- 50

The gang returns after 10 years for a high school reunion.Will they be back to their old tricks?

Starring- Jason Biggs,Chris Klein,Thomas Ian,Seann William,Eddie Kaye,Alyson Hannigan
Director- Jon Hurwitz ,Hayden Schlossberg 

American Reunion is the 8th part of the American Pie series and the 4th of the Jim-Oz-Kevin-Finch-Stifler group.This is said to be the final part of the hit series.

The cast is pretty impressive since they brought not only every original cast member (from the first 3 movies) ,but they also managed to sneak in some new ones too.Acting hasnt been a strong point of the series and they dont try to make it a big deal either.Out of the group Sean William (Stifler) was the main highlight.The others do a decent job.

Story could have been good but unfortunately the fun starts to drain by the second half.American Pie is known for its outrageous as well as funny gags ,but by now it isnt as great as it used to be.Those who havnt watched the previous movies will feel left out of many jokes.But for the fans, American Reunion is more of a "reunion" since its been a long time all the cast members have united.Reunion is an improvement over the 3rd part (American Wedding),but still falls behind the game changing movies-American Pie 1&2.

Direction is okay.The movie runs out of steam in the second half ,concentrating more on relations (that seem to get fixed/broken in seconds).But as a fan i wont mind seeing another American Pie with the same cast.

Overall,Reunion is just for the fans of the series,others may find it dull.

Actin- 3/5
Story- 2.5/5
Direction- 2.5/5
Comedy- 4/5
Romance- 2.5/5
