American Reunion (American Pie: Reunion/美國派:高潮再起) is an 2012 film. The film stars Jason Biggs and his extend friends and family. The supporting cast include Alyson Hannigan, Seann William, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, John Cho, Jennifer Coolidge, Eugene Levy, Dania Ramirez, and Ali Cobrin. Cameos from previous American Pie movies include Natasha Lyonne, Shannon Elizabeth, and Chris Owen. As you can tell, when this film is described as an ensemble cast, they were not missing around.
Back to their home town for their high school reunion, the four main guys of the first movie are Jim, Oz, Kevin, and Finch. Jim is now married to Michelle and they have a son. Oz is a third tier celebrity sportscaster. Kevin is a homemaker. Finch is still mystery! They bump into Stifler at a bar and the trouble begins. As you can tell, this movie doesn't stray from the winning formula of the previous movies, Jim is at the heart of the story and makes questionable decisions that lead to all sorts of hijinx. Some subplots all revolve around their old flames and current "stuck" life.
This movie was the most calm of the main series. Some gross out humor is unavoidable when it comes to Jim and Stifler, but that's to be expected. It's a nice look at a franchise that never produced any superstars, but still rings a bell for those that remember the originals premiere in 1999. Although I am older than the people in the film, the life stage they are in isn't foreign to me. But is also very unlike "This Is 40". If you're a fan of the main American Pie series, you'll want to catch this one.
