Here’s an interesting teaser for American Reunion. I knowUniversal have done their best to water down the whole series with 1,001straight to DVD sequels, but the timing for this one feels right for me, asdoes the subject matter. Of course I’m always up for an excuse to my favourite ‘Buffy’/ ‘How I met your Mother’ Lady, Allison Hannigan on the big screen. Wait, notalways I mean I’m sure we’re happily married in another dimension but ‘DateMovie’, NO, just so much no.
The American Pie films were pretty big for a certaingeneration and there’s every reason to expect them to come back for more,having aged just as the cast and characters have. But with American comedy travellingbetter than ever (The American Pie series was fairly atypical for the times,matching and even outdoing the domestic grosses in a way that didn’t happen toooften) I’m sure Universal will be hoping the film cleans up all over the worldnext year.
Synopsis...
“In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Piecharacters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East CoastFalls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they willdiscover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't breakthe bonds of friendship.
It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began aquest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michellemarried while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, butFinch still longs for Stiffler's mom, Now these lifelong friends have come homeas adults to reminisce about - and get inspired by - the hormonal teens wholaunched a comedy legend.”
As you can see the films remained remarkably consistent in their takings (Even allowing for ticket price inflation the third film did pretty well in its own right)...
