Best in the series?


I believe this is much stronger than the other films. It is a great simple story and the characters are at their strongest here. And it is ten times funnier as well!

I consider this the weakest in the series with Reunion being the best followed closely by Wedding.

It's my favorite as well. The most laid back, yet at the same time, the most fun.

definitely the best of the series. my order of the four is:

American Pie 2
American Reunion
American Pie
American Wedding

^I agree with that order.

Nailed it.

I think it was perfect for it's time period. Everything fits where it needs to and the guys are at a great point in life with a year of college but still so much to learn.

In addition it has a lot of stuff that just worked well in 2001: the feel good music of Sum 41, Blink 182, and 3 Doors Down, gross out comedy pushing the envelope with scenes that wouldn't necessarily shock audiences today, the campy summertime feel that the first one didn't have.

It's also worth pointing out that this came out before 9/11 (a month beforehand in fact). A lot of comedies, even teen sex comedies, relied on prejudice and racism jokes in the years following. This has non of that and maintains a lovable innocence as a result.

Great response! Coming of age gross out humor wrapped up with a happy ending. Meet the parents from the same era was great as well.

It was definitely my favorite in the series. I love this movie.

I'm glad this post was made because now I know there are more people besides myself that find this one the best in the series. I personally like it the best because we get more Stifler and he's truly at his peak in this one.

reply

Agreed. This has a more fun atmosphere.

Yet I think the order goes :
American Pie 2
American Pie
Then the rest sucked

reply

Totally agree, this is the strongest in the series. Much better than the first.

i personally like the first one the best made me laugh the most
