The characters we met a little more than a decade ago return to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t, and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship.
Outside of porn, there has never been a movie with so many shots of grown men eyeing teenage girls' backsides. The result is fitfully amusing but more often just creepy.

American Reunion tries to use nudity, sex, and fecal matter to generate laughter, but the jokes are tired and predictable.

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?

Rare is the movie that brings "American Pie" to mind and suffers by comparison, but here we have one.

None of it makes much of an impression, although there are a few nice and surprisingly heartfelt moments around the edges.
