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+

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.

Rating: C

The Rules of Attraction (2002)

Caught this on IFC. Not much going for it except a few choice scenes. My favorite was the fast paced travelogue of that dude's European vacation. I'd see an entire film of people sharing their summer vacation stories with each other in this fast forward manner.
