American Wedding (2003)

 

The series continues to plummet, reaching rock bottom with this latest installment. The first American Pie was great. Stiffler wasn't quite so over-the-top. The comedy was original and funny. 

The second was a little forced, but much of the same level of humor was there. In AW, the actors feel like they are playing SNL sketches of themselves. It doesn't work. They are going through the motions for a paycheck. There are a few laughs here and there, but overall, it stunk. 

Rating: D+

Stolen Summer (2002)

This is the film that came out of Project Greenlight from HBO. It's a slow moving drama with a warm story. 

Rating: C

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

The movie is just ok, but the music is great, especially if you are an indie snob like me. If Nickelback or Hoobastank is your things, you should steer clear. 

Rating: C

Mr. Jealousy (1997)

Terrific soundtrack. Decent romantic comedy. 

Rating: C

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

Like an Asian version of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Really funny at times, ok at others. Plenty of cameos to keep you guessing.

Rating: C

American Pie 2 (2001)

I saw the first, so I felt obligated to see the second. Some good laughs, lots of raunchy humor, sex, and all the crazy stuff that supposedly goes on at college that I never saw.
