Synopsis: Jim, Michelle, Kevin, Oz, Finch, and Stifler reunite back home in East Great Falls for their high school reunion.

This movie is definitely super funny in parts, but I didn't find it to be quite as funny as the original. It was nice to see that they got all the orginal characters for this movie, I won't name all of them specifically as some people might consider that to be a type of spoiler, but pretty much everyone you remember from the original is in this movie.

This movie, much like the original, has a good mix of different kinds of humor. There's some gross out stuff that's funny, some slapstick-type stuff, and of course hillarious dialogue between characters. I think Stifler is still one of the most entertaining characters, simply because of his way to insert an air of awkwardness into any situation with nearly everything he says. However, much like the original (and the sequels), Jim's dad does his best to steal the show. Eugene Levy is a comedic genius in my mind, and I always laugh the hardest in any of the American Pie movies when he's giving advice or inadvertently saying something that makes Jim uncomfortable, and there's no shortage of that in this film.

As I said, the movie is funny, but I honestly thought it would be funnier. I was entertained, but I didn't come away with stomach pains from laughing too hard, which in my books is what should happen with any great comedy. You can definitely get away with waiting for this one on DVD.
