American Pie: O Reencontro

Cena de abertura de cinco estrelas. O resto do filme é apenas mais uma variação sobre o género de relações com caras provadas e que sempre funcionam igualmente bem. (26/06/2012)

I feel that there there are already too many parts. They all try to be similarly funny and everything will work out, just like our main heroes who, on the brink of sentimentality, remember things were back in their younger years. From a dramaturgical point of view, it's not bad, many scenes are well-tuned (thanks to the director’s and especially the actors' experience in the genre), unfortunately, it doesn't avoid the classic clichés of sequels (rekindling after years, etc.). So as a short digression, it’s alright, but as a full-fledged sequel, it's tired and devoid of ideas. I would call it a "hollowed out" theme. (26/02/2013)

For me it is comparable to the first and the third part, i.e. an average American comedy that avoids fecal humour quite well, although sometimes it gets away with it (but only a little). The best characters were, of course, Stifler and Mr. Levenstein, who managed to highlight practically every episode. At times it struck me as nostalgic and serious thanks to a couple of "dramatic" lines. In short, a film I would have easily given an extra star to if I had at least had a good laugh when it was supposed to be a comedy. (10/07/2012)

Jim(’s dad) and Stifler get into a whirlwind of problems and escapades that won’t leave any member dry. The others are just there just to make up the nostalgic numbers. It’s pretty witty and it has just the right amount of warm nostalgia (it basically rides the same wave as Scream 4). Too bad that they didn’t get the length right, because it’s a good twenty minutes longer than it should be. (05/04/2012)

A very easygoing movie. The nostalgia didn’t work so much on me (naturally, I saw the original trilogy for the first time less than a week ago :-D), but as a comedy, it’s excellent. Stifler is still the same idiot, Jim still ends up in embarrassing situations, Jim’s dad speaks about things you shouldn’t speak about and Stiffler’s mum… well, you’ll see. Reunion has a few serious and sad moments here and there – the protagonists are no longer teenagers, after all – but they are soon followed by bursts of laughter. The most pleasant film of the year so far, it will make you forget for a moment the bad mood prevailing in the Czech Republic right now. We need something like this twice a week. (14/04/2012)
