The entire cast of American Pie returns to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion in the outrageous comedy American Reunion, available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand, with a never-before-seen unrated version, on July 10, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. In one long-overdue weekend, old friends will reconnect, old flames re-ignite and everyone will rediscover just how much fun you can pack into one hilarious weekend.
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim (Jason Biggs, Life Happens, “Mad Love”) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan, “How I Met Your Mother”) got married while Stifler (Seann William Scott, Role Models) still refuses to grow up. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas, Please Give) and Vicky (Tara Reid, “Scrubs”) said goodbye while Oz (Chris Klein, American Dreamz) and Heather (Mena Suvari, “American Horror Story”) grew apart. Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas, “How to Make It in America”) still longs for Stifler’s mom (Jennifer Coolidge, Legally Blonde) and Jim’s dad (Eugene Levy, Best in Show) is learning to date. The hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend return as American Reunion brings this beloved franchise back with “flat out hilarious, raunchy fun” (Pete Hammond, Box Office Magazine).

I have been a fan of this series since it first started and this movie does not disappoint (as I did not think it would). This movie brings back all of the characters that you came to know and love from the original which was amazing, as there had been a number of movies in the series that failed to live up to the comedic tone and value of the original (in my opinion). Be aware that this movie does have its crude humor in it so it is not appropriate for young audiences due to the humor and the overall content and message that it is sharing. That being said though, the movie was funny and the cast did a great job together again! I also loved all of the amazing extras that the Blu-Ray provides you as a viewer. There were so many fun games and interactive aspects of the disc that allow you to better know the characters and the actors playing them as well as what goes into the writing and directing if a movie such as this. This was a great movie within the series of American Pie movies and one that I would recommend that all see!
