Trailer Review: AMERICAN REUNION

Its been 9 years since American Wedding, the supposed last movie in the American Pie series. But now the boys are back for their high school reunion and boy does it look fun.

Watching this trailer again, I was reminded of a Kevin Smith series Clerks. I wasn't old enough to watch the first Clerks when it came out but by the time the second was released I was a cinephile in my own right and Smith was a favorite. Watching interviews with him he touted that he would not have done the movie if he didn't have something to say about turning 30, which is where his characters are in the movie.

This is exactly where I think this series is going.

Generally speaking I'm a fan of the American Pie series of movies, NOT those fake ass "National Lampoon Style" movies that went straight to dvd. I'm talking about the ones with all the original actors in them. In their dirty minded way each movie has got something to say about growing up, going to college, getting married and just life in general. Now there are plenty movies like this out there, but some just stick to one part of life, its nice to have had a journey with a certain group of characters and see their progression in life. Its kinda like watching Boy Meets World. Anybody remember that show? What an awesome show. When Corey and Topanga (sp) got married in Disney, I think.

Ok sorry way off topic the show has been on MTV lately and I've been watching a lot of it. Back to our review.

We all have a Jim, we all have a Stifler in our group of friends and I think that's why anytime these movies come out, its not met with disappointment or with the title of a money grab; they've got something to say.

This outing of a class reunion plays great into the series, the characters are older now, some have families, are married and have real jobs. The fun of it will be seeing what they still think is still fun and what old antics still play in their small Michigan town. I'm sure none of you are surprised that I'm a fan of the series, "oh cause Bobby likes everything", but let me ask you this you still get excited to see a Die Hard movie right?

Cause you know exactly what your going to get.

The invitations for American Reunion go out April 6th, 2012
