The five friends of American Pie return to the big screen for their high school reunion. They are now all grown up and seem to be caught at a crossroads.
Jim and Michelle (Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan) are married, have a child and the sexual spark that initially brought them together seems to have fizzled out.
Oz (Chris Klein) is a successful sportscaster who is married to a model but still misses his high school girl Heather (Mena Suvari) who is now married to a hugely successful surgeon.
Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is married as well but he also pines for his ex-girlfriend Vicky (Tara Reid).
Stifler (Seann William Scott) works as a temp and is trying to hide the fact that he still lives with his mother.
Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) never found his true love and lies about how he has been living. Now he is attracted to Selena (Dania Ramiraez), a formerly overweight classmate who is a changed woman.
As usual, Jim is full of good intentions but ends up creating a mess. He tries to help his recently widowed dad (Eugene Levy) go on a date; meanwhile Jim discovers that the little kid he used to babysit is now all grown up (Ali Kobrin) and wants him to be her first!
American Pie Reunion is still as naughty as can be but it’s also a heavily nostalgic picture as the cast, the characters they play and the audience with them have grown up.In what should be the last American Pie movie, the producers stick close to the structure and format that had made the 1999 film such a surprise hit.
The cast is sympathetic and they still play to the best of their characters’ strengths which are now familiar to the audience.
Once again, in this film, one actor rises above the rest – and that is Eugene Levy as Jason Biggs’s dad. His performance is simply priceless and he delivers a dozen expressions through the mere movement of his eyebrows.
