In de zomer van 1999 probeerden vier jongens uit Michigan hun maagdelijkheid te verliezen. In de jaren daarna zijn Jim en Michelle getrouwd, is het uitgegaan tussen Kevin en Vicky en Oz en Heather zijn uit elkaar gegroeid. Deze vrienden voor het leven halen nu herinneringen op en raken als volwassenen weer geïnspireerd door de hormonaal gefrustreerde tieners die een legendarische comedy opleverden. (Universal Pictures International Netherlands)

The opening scene is worthy of five stars, but the rest of the film is just variations on the usual genre clichés with proven
faces that still serve to attract viewers.

A very easygoing movie. The nostalgia didn’t work so much on me (naturally, I saw the original trilogy for the first time less than a week ago :-D), but as a comedy, it’s excellent. Stifler is still the same idiot, Jim still ends up in embarrassing situations, Jim’s dad speaks about things you shouldn’t speak about and Stiffler’s mum… well, you’ll see. Reunion has a few serious and sad moments here and there – the protagonists are no longer teenagers, after all – but they are soon followed by bursts of laughter. The most pleasant film of the year so far, it will make you forget for a moment the bad mood prevailing in the Czech Republic right now. We need something like this twice a week.

Jim(’s dad) and Stifler get into a whirlwind of problems and escapades that won’t leave any member dry. The others are just there just to make up the nostalgic numbers. It’s pretty witty and it has just the right amount of warm nostalgia (it basically rides the same wave as Scream 4). Too bad that they didn’t get the length right, because it’s a good twenty minutes longer than it should be.

I feel that there there are already too many parts. They all try to be similarly funny and everything will work out, just like our main heroes who, on the brink of sentimentality, remember things were back in their younger years. From a dramaturgical point of view, it's not bad, many scenes are well-tuned (thanks to the director’s and especially the actors' experience in the genre), unfortunately, it doesn't avoid the classic clichés of sequels (rekindling after years, etc.). So as a short digression, it’s alright, but as a full-fledged sequel, it's tired and devoid of ideas. I would call it a "hollowed out" theme.

For me it is comparable to the first and the third part, i.e. an average American comedy that avoids fecal humour quite well, although sometimes it gets away with it (but only a little). The best characters were, of course, Stifler and Mr. Levenstein, who managed to highlight practically every episode. At times it struck me as nostalgic and serious thanks to a couple of "dramatic" lines. In short, a film I would have easily given an extra star to if I had at least had a good laugh when it was supposed to be a comedy.

I don't care what critics say about this film. I don't care if someone will criticize it. I don't care that none of the actors are big stars and they took the film because it suited them, because this is simply a film for people. It is full of humor, both good and awkward - but the good outweighs the awkward by far - it is full of great lines and characters that you want to come back to. A beautiful nostalgia came over me, I couldn't hold back my emotions. I know it's because I live a little bit in a fictional world, but that's just how it is with age. There is so much film and literature that it's easy to detach oneself from reality. But when I saw the five of them (Jim, Kev, Oz, Finch, and Stifler) marching to the reunion, I felt happy. It was like I really met up with the old gang. A wonderful experience that I haven't had in the cinema for a long time. I wish there would be a sequel, I doubt it for now, but it would be great. I would go to the cinema for that. "American Reunion" did something that "Snowdrops and Macho Men 25 Years Later" couldn't do. It combined humor and nostalgia in such a cocktail that is funny, touching, and not just a walk through a museum where everyone has aged and gained weight and simply have nothing to say anymore. Jim and his gang still have something to say, because they know how to entertain. For me personally, one of the best cinema experiences. Seeing people leave happy with a smile on their face is an incredible reward for the creators of the film. I was also one of those who had to come back to the lines, repeat the scenes. An unforgettable experience. If I had to rate it in percentages, I would give it 90%, and I say that completely seriously. "Hunger Games" is nowhere near as boring and tedious.
