American Reunion

The American Pie movies worked because they were always 75% funny and 25% sentimental. The heart behind all of the dirty jokes was always there. The problem with American Reunion is there’s TOO much sentiment, and not enough funny. Yes, it’s fun to see the big cast reunited, and it’s always a pleasure to watch Eugene Levy awkwardly trying to impart pearls of wisdom to his well-meaning son. But the reunion lacks the really raunchy dirty jokes, firmly rooted in truth, that made the other movies so refreshingly honest.
