American Reunion **

Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg directed this Comedy. Watch Preview Cast: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jennifer Coolidge, Eugene Levy, Natasha Lyonne, Shannon Elizabeth. Rated R for crude and sexual content throughout, nudity, language, brief drug use and teen drinking. Running time  is one hour and fifty-three minutes.

All the "American Pie" characters we met a little more than a decade ago return to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion.

Some time comedy sequels work, most of the time they don't. This mildly amusing comedy falls in the latter, larger group. You've got to wonder who they made this for. Those who found it funny the first time around are old enough now to look for something with a lot more substance. A younger audience isn't going to be particularly thrilled with a group of older actors who are doing nothing that outrageous by today's standards. I purposefully watched this with a younger  group to get a crowd reaction, and for the most part, there wasn't one. A few laughs at a couple of crude scenes and that was it. Unless you're really into retro comedy, I'd give this a pass.

A large screen won't make much difference and neither will a large crowd. There are no additional scenes once the final credits begin although there are several stills accompanying the early credits. Theatres/Times.
