“American Reunion,” the fourth (and last?) movie in the “American Pie” series, is not very liked by critics. However, I think it was obvious that the critics weren’t going to like it.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the critics gave the film a 44%, whereas the audience gave it a whopping 81%. The overall consensus is that while the film will provide nostalgia, it won’t provide much more. Check out what some critics had to say:
“For the most part, however, this fourth installment is recycling familiar material, only without the chuckles and guffaws. Helmed by the ‘Harold and Kumar’ guys, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, American Reunion tries to use nudity, sex, and fecal matter to generate laughter, but the jokes are tired and predictable. This is a joyless experience made all the sadder because most viewers still remember the naughty delights delivered by ‘American Pie.'”–James Berardinelli, ReelViews
“Yes, ‘American Reunion’is a juvenile outing. They steal jet skis and defecate in beer coolers. They cheat on their girlfriends and lie to their best friends. But what did you expect?”–Ricardo Baca, Denver Post
“None of it makes much of an impression, although there are a few nice and surprisingly heartfelt moments around the edges.”–Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
