They are not too keen about his Caucasian girlfriend Kimberly who, to make matters worse, is a pop star.

Rahul enlists the services of Sue, a fiercely independent escort whom he believes to be Hispanic, and therefore not "married" to the conventions taught to young Indian women.

If you want to watch a film that is funny and has a feel good vibe to it then this is the one. There is a tiny hint of seriousness to it as well which combines well. Jim is basically getting married to Michelle and the wedding planning is on but of course there are a few hiccups. The funniest character in this film is Stiffler and he really makes the film to be honest. Especially the dance scene in the night club. (Enough said) Finch and Stiffler renew there rivalry and Jim makes a fool of himself on a few occasions. There are plenty of funny moments in this film and I highly recommend.

The opening scene was certainly funny... Let's see how much longer it would stay like that...Okay, so I liked the first movie because it was not only a funny movie but also a good drama. I did not get bored at all, and the story flowed quite well.The second movie had a plot that's basically nonexistent. It was so hilarious that the lack of plot didn't matter. The drama was surprisingly decent and heartwarming, even though the plot really did not exist. There were just so many great jokes that the movie was straight-up hilarious.This movie managed to be more over-the-top, which might have helped some jokes. However, it felt irritating at times. It was still hilarious, but unlike the first two, the jokes were not memorable at all. It also suffered from really, really boring parts.Was there anything worth watching? Yes, the jokes were certainly hilarious, even though they were so forgettable and somewhat irritating. The policewoman and maid scene was hilarious, though.Was it enjoyable? I laughed a lot, but the jokes didn't add a lot to the entertainment value. Not to mention the boring parts and Stifler's more annoying character.+ Lots of laughsBoring at timesReally forgettable jokesStifler was just plain annoyingThe laughs don't add a lot to the entertainment valueScore: 5. It's much more over-the-top. The problem to me was that the delivery of the jokes made them forgettable and empty.

After the release of "American Pie II", a major milestone came into effect that rarely has ever been done before. It was great to see a sequel actually produced more laughs than the original "American Pie". This is thanks mainly by producer Chris Moore and producer Adam Herz. The sequel provided more sympathy for the characters; you get a better understanding of their personality traits and their behavioural patterns in a clearer picture. In addition to that it was purely comical.Sadly though, the third instalment to the series "American Wedding" failed to live up to the expectations of the previous two films. Partially because a lot of the cast members from the original two movies are nowhere to be found, which is not particularly a bad thing because Oz (Chris Klein), Vicky (Tara Reid) and Heather (Mena Suvari) were never really that appealing to me? But still Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) was greatly missed. What really made this sequel really disappointing was that the characters have been badly demoted to wooden clichés of themselves. Sue the series was saturated with crude, rude and lewd jokes and I guess it's just not right to pull away from that tradition by continuing where they left off as opposed to adding new and original humour. So now we see another situation where Jim finds himself at another disadvantage involving his genitals. In the second instalment, Stifler gets urinated on, so it comes to no surprise that the third instalment feces will come into play here. I guess my rant is that the routines that follow tend to be too tiring and predictable.If the absence of characters from the other two movies wasn't appalling or the tiring routines that follow from the other two instalments, the ultimate letdown in "American Wedding" is the character of Stifler (Sean William Scott). I mean of the series, Stifler was one of the funnier supporting characters in the whole series. Mr. Herz really outdid himself when he created a character like Stifler, person who we may have seen and hated in high school. He not only provided the most laughs of them all, but was never a caricatured cliché. In "American Wedding", Stifler becomes a shell of his former self and seems to act more retarded than funny you end up getting the impression that there are a few screws loose somewhere about him. Seriously, he acts the whole time like he needs a mental health evaluation. Sure he's on quite a lot which is fine because I really enjoyed his character over the years, but in "American Wedding" his comical intentions are not featured here.To conclude, "American Wedding" will appeal to some, but not to this film critic. I'll just have to pass on this. I saw it once and I think to me that's enough.

American Wedding acts as the wrap around story for the beloved American Pie characters we know and love. In the first film, we were acquainted with their goofy, oddball ways and followed a group of four high school Seniors as they made a pact to lose their virginity by the end of the year. In the second film, we saw them not as naive high schoolers, but naive college kids, who rented a lakehouse to endure more of their activities. Screenwriter Adam Herz, who wrote the first two films, returns to freshen the formula and continue his trend of infecting goofy characters with traits of intelligence and soul.Let's get one thing straight here; the first two films are pretty much the same. Basically a group of guys trying to score and trying to assure a safe relationship with their girlfriends. There are minor differences, but the film got lucky by having memorable dialog and one-liners said every so often so the film didn't feel like a monotonous excursion. The inflation of gross-out gags in the second films received mixed reception, though. I found some of them funny, but after a while, familiarity came into play. Especially with the "you touch, we touch" scene which is referenced here, as well.The story centers around Jim (Biggs) and Michelle (Hannigan), who are finally tying the knot. When Stifler (Scott) gets word of this, he makes the bachelor party his main responsibility, while the rest of the gang including Kevin (Nicolas) and Finch (Thomas) are noticeably growing weary of his deviant plans. Inevitably, Stifler winds up screwing up majorly, and is looking for ways to redeem himself near the end of the film.This is the first American Pie film where the whole cast doesn't come back. Kevin Kline's Oz, Mena Survari's Heather, Shannon Elizabeth's Nadia, and the extremely underrated and often overlooked Natasha Lyonne's Jessica are all extracted from the script, with no explanation. It isn't a crisis that Nadia isn't here, but not having Oz, one of Jim's closest friends, is sad and not having him even mentioned is a bit depressing. Much of the focus here is on Stifler, who we can see begins to vaguely mature as the film goes on. He seems a bit sweeter at times, yet he also seems a bit more crude and indulgent at points as well.One character that hasn't lost even an ounce of his humor is Jim's father, played by Eugene Levy. I am beginning to sound repetitive, but his character is yet another one that doesn't seem to get well-deserved recognition. Mainly because other characters, like Jim and Stifler, seem to take center stage a lot of the time.Still, aside from the disappointing element of characters not returning, American Wedding hits home with the level of love, sentimentality, wit, bravery, humor, and satisfaction. It is a lively, cheery sequel in films that still have yet to become oppressive and winded, despite being erected from a similar formula every time. They are quite possibly the most pleasing and well-done comedies of the early 2000's decade.Starring: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Seann William Scott, Fred Willard, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, January Jones, John Cho, and Fred Willard. Directed by: Jesse Dylan.
