I was very worried about what I was going to get with American Reunion and after a sluggish start, it did eventually get better. Still not close to being a perfect movie, but when comparing it to the 1st and 3rd films, I will take what I can from this and just enjoy it. At least the writer was keeping this grounded in "reality" by having the kids in adult relationships, married and kids in tow. Sure, married life has set in and the gang is in a rut and decide that their High School Reunion would be the best place to recapture their "youth".

I think it's here where the movie fails because they try to use the same jokes and their isn't anything funny about "old" people trying to play the same character from 13 years ago or however long ago it was when the first film came out. And that's why Stifler for the most part is really embarrassing. He hasn't grown up. He is still the same douche from High School. With that said, they do give him his "redemption" scene and throw in a nice twist that actually was very fitting. Having him bang Finch's Mom was karma for finch doing the same to Stifler's Mom. Having Finch's mom played by Rebecca De Mornay was the icing on the cake.

I have to address the "reunion" here. It's billed as one, but for the majority of the entire movie, it's really just the 4 guys with Chris Klein back. Sure, Tara Reid and Mena Suvari return after going AWOL in the 3rd film, but their roles were so minimal in this one I have to ask the question, "why bother showing up"? It's not till the actuall High School Reunion does it really come together as what it's billed. With just the dudes, I was pleasantly surprised to see Natasha Lyonne, Chris Owen and Shannon Elizabeth. But even their parts were nothing more than cameos. How little did Tara and Mena have in this one? Let me put it to you this way, John Cho as M I L F  Guy #2 had way more screen time then both of them combined.

Overall, it was a fun flick. Be sure to stick with the end credits for Jim's Dad and Stifler's Mom on a movie date. Very funny. This is worth a Rent.

No interest in seeing any of these, though I am curious if Shannon was still a looker, if everyone's acting like they were 13 years ago in a desperate attempt to recapture their success, well...  I really have a one-track mind.

BTW, I still can't believe that Biggs is Leonardo in Ninja Turtles now.

Has Shannon even BEEN in anything else lately?  What happened?

Here's my thought, if Biggs and Wife open a pie shop, I can totally see Shannon popping out of a big pie like a classic stripper, big fake red cherry on her head, etc.  That's her cameo.

Jay And Silent Bob (the only other thing I could think of either) was 2001.  2000 freakin' 1!  Though she was cute in that.

I do remember she did an episode of the short-lived "Thank God You're Here" and she was a stripper in "Dish Dogs" but other than that, yeah, just dropped off the face of the Earth.

All the jokes and dialog will be facebook, twitter or Siri

Nailed it. I'm actually surprised that Reunion didn't touch upon those ideas given how the movie is only a year old.

I think Rotary Phones are 'cutting edge' and still work in the movies I watch.

(as Pesci) "And how about those f*ckers on the f*ckin' Facebook, what about these idiots, they make you sign up and they take all this data off of you to sell it to companies all over the world and they make it so you can't do sh*t in this world without being a member and you get on there and it's just f*ckin' college kids waving their f*ckin' d*cks around in the f*ckin' bathroom mirror!  You heard of this Youtube thing!?  It--"

Lethal Weapon 4 - The Cell Phone Conspiracy
