10 May 2012 3:34 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

The entire cast of American Pie returns to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion in the outrageous comedy American Reunion, available on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand, with a never-before-seen unrated version, on July 10, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. In one long-overdue weekend, old friends will reconnect, old flames re-ignite and everyone will rediscover just how much fun you can pack into one hilarious weekend.

It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim (Mad Love, L!fe Happens) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan, How I Met Your Mother) got married while Stifler (Seann William Scott, Role Models) still refuses to grow up. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas, Please Give) and Vicky (Tara Reid, Scrubs) said goodbye while Oz (Chris Klein, American Dreamz) and Heather (Mena Suvari, American Horror Story) grew apart.

American Reunion Unrated Blu-ray Release Date, Details and Pre-Order

8 May 2012 8:46 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

The American Pie gang including Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Seann William Scott, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Chris Klein, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas and franchise staple Eugene Levy returns to theaters this past spring in the raunchy comedy American Reunion. If you missed it in theaters, Universal is releasing American Reunion on Blu-ray and DVD on July 10, 2012.

The American Reunion Blu-ray is a combo pack release that will also include a DVD, UltraViolet and digital copy version of the film. The Blu-ray version will be presented in 1.85:1 1080p video and 5.1 DTS-hd Master Audio.

American Reunion wouldn't be an American Pie film if it didn't include an additional unrated cut, and is sure does. Though don't get your hopes up for tons of extra debauchery. The unrated cut adds only a minute of extra run time.

The American Reunion Blu-ray bonus features are as follows:

Movie Review - American Reunion (2012)

7 May 2012 3:34 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

American Reunion, 2012.

Directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg.

Starring Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Seann William Scott, Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge and John Cho.

Synopsis:

Jim, Michelle, Stifler and company reunite in East Great Falls, Michigan for their high school reunion.

13 years ago I sneaked into a screening of American Pie (I was a whole year younger than the 15 certificate) and was treated to what has been described as the Porky's of my generation. Last night I got to take a trip down nostalgia lane for American Reunion, and boy at times did it make me feel old.

While the first two American Pie films were excellent, the third film left a sour taste in a lot of fan's mouths due to it being fairly lame, with half of the cast missing. On top of that, the American Pie »

American Pie – The Trilogy – Blu-ray Review

7 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Starting in 1999, when four friends (Jim, Kevin, Finch and Oz) decide to do all they can to lose their virginity by the time they graduate high school, then moving forward a year for a sequel built around them meeting up after a year at college and spending the summer at a lake/beach house, before wrapping up the trilogy with the build-up to and events at Jim’s marriage to Michelle, the American Pie films very much focus on Jim (Jason Biggs)’s sexual misadventures, but with the gross-out elements undercut by an overall sweetness and at the series’ best moments, a welcome and necessary lightness of touch.

Since the franchise kicked off, plenty of other films have entered this sort of arena and with mixed success. After the first three theatrical releases, the franchise drifted into straight-to-dvd / spin-off territory, with terrifyingly bad results. With the gang back for (presumably »

American Pie: Reunion (review)

4 May 2012 3:17 AM, PDT | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »

I guess it was inevitable. The only thing that apparently made the American Pie guys “interesting” was that the movie surrounding them was full of adolescent sexual terror masquerading as “comedy.” Thirteen years later -- because, you know, everyone has a thirteenth high-school reunion -- they remain as fixedly bland as ever, and so their latest (and let us hope final) cinematic outing can hope to be in the least bit “appealing” only by trotting out the same tedious sitcom blend of crude vulgarity and sappy sentiment. Has there even been a more lifeless teenaged protagonist than Jason Biggs’ (Eight Below) Jim Levenstein? I mean, other than his pals, played by the doughiest white-bread cast ever: Chris Klein (American Dreamz), Thomas Ian Nicholas (The Rules of Attraction), and Eddie Kaye Thomas (A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas)? (There’s an excellent reason none of these guys ever went on »

American Pie: Reunion Review

4 May 2012 12:44 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Directors: Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz

Cast: Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Eugene Levy, Jason Biggs, Jennifer Coolidge, Mena Suvari, Seann William Scott, Tara Reid, Thomas Ian Nicholas

Running Time: 113 mins

Certificate: 15

Synopsis: 13 years after Jim (Biggs) fornicated with baked goods, he and his old buddies return to East Great Falls for a school reunion, discovering what has changed and what hasn’t…

I’ve held back on my review for American Pie: Reunion for two reasons. One. Work load. Two. It’s very hard to review. You see, as a film critic, its very difficult not to get caught up in the hoopla of a big release; not get excited by the prospect of a new ‘Pie’ movie and the nostalgia factor of seeing one hit cinemas after so long.

Yes, it has been nine years since the last official ‘slice of pie’, bar a few straight to DVD efforts, »

American Pie: Reunion

Stars: Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Sean William Scott, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, John Cho, Jennifer Coolidge, Eugene Levy | Written and Directed by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg

Following a string of direct to DVD movies, the original gang are all back for American Pie: Reunion, the fourth theatrical outing for the American Pie franchise… It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed everyone has grown up (even if they still don’t look that old) and moved on with their lives – Jim and Michelle are married, have a kid and a sex life that’s in the toilet; Oz is a successful sports presenter with a model girlfriend; Kevin is happily married – and a house-husband; whilst FInch and Stifler, well they’re Finch and Stifler!

Review: American Pie: Reunion

2 May 2012 9:54 AM, PDT | Pure Movies | See recent Pure Movies news »

This is the Pure Movies review of American Reunion, directed by Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, and starring Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Jennifer Coolidge and Eugene Levy. The lives of Jim Levenstein (Biggs) and his high school pals have moved on since American Pie’s original outing: Jim is a husband (to Alyson Hannigan’s Michelle) and father, Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is happily married, Oz (Chris Klein) is a minor celebrity, Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) has been travelling the world and Stifler (Seann William Scott) is, well, still the Stifmesiter. Despite having two sequels (American Pie 2 and American Wedding) and four direct-to-dvd films in the bag, the franchise feels like it has finally come home, with all of the cast members returning for one last hurrah, including Kevin’s high school love Vicky (Tara Reid »

American Pie: Reunion Interview – Mena Suvari and Chris Klein

As the final piece of the American Pie is about to served up in UK cinemas we’re rounding off our American Pie: Reunion interviewaganza today with two Pie-related chats.

Here Mr. Ben Mortimer sits down with Mean Survari and Chris Klein to talk about getting the band back together and how age has (or has not) withered the bawdy shenanigans. Klein reveals that he is a robot.Although he nearly cries at one point.

The pair let nostalgia rip loudly through the interview and talk about the oddity of returning to characters not seen in the Pieverse since the second film all those merry years ago.

American Reunion Review: A Crowd Pleasing Slice Of Familiar Pie

1 May 2012 7:31 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

When we remember the frenzy of nostalgia which crowded last year’s Oscars – with films like The Artist, Hugo and Midnight in Paris transporting us back to the magical worlds of old – the possibility of getting misty-eyed at a sex comedy film series that is merely 13 years old seems absolutely ludicrous. That American Pie: The Reunion will legitimately evoke this feeling from its core audience – now in their mid-twenties to early-thirties – is a testament to the series’ insistence to nimbly remain uproariously juvenile while providing just enough new insights into the character’s lives to make it worthwhile.

It is thirteen years since the kids left high school, and on the verge of a reunion, they all appear to have grown into their adult lives with the expected lack of enthusiasm. Married couple Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) find it hard to get »

American Pie: Reunion review

1 May 2012 4:11 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Can the American Pie franchise find a place in the modern R-rated comedy world? Here's our review of American Pie: Reunion...

For 20 minutes at the end, it all works. The decision to bring back the original American Pie cast suddenly gels, the cavalcade of faces of teen movie history flashing before your eyes, and a joke that genuinely has fun with what the films were doing back in their heyday. It's where Alyson Hannigan finally gets to let her hair down a bit, where Eugene Levy comes into his own... heck, that last 20 minutes was pretty much near the top of the wishlist for a belated American Pie sequel.

The problem, sadly, is the hour and 20 minutes that comes before it. Because for the sizeable majority of American Pie: Reunion's running time, it's like nothing's ever changed. The jokes are pretty much the same, it's just that everyone's nearing their 40s now. »

American Pie: Reunion cast on their favourite memories: video interviews

30 April 2012 9:01 AM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »

American Pie: Reunion is in cinemas this week, and it’s a film that wholeheartedly embraces nostalgia, which is why we decided to ask the cast and directors about their favourite memories from the entire Pie franchise. Picking up some nine years after the last outing, Reunion sees the entire gang head back to East Great Falls for a Class of ’99, erm, reunion. Adolescent angst has been traded for quarter-life crises, even if these guys are anything but grown-up. Check out our video below, as Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy, Chris Klein...

Eddie Kaye Thomas and Chris Klein interview: on returning to American Pie: Reunion

30 April 2012 7:15 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Ahead of the UK release of American Pie: Reunion, we were lucky enough to meet up with returning stars Eddie Kaye Thomas and Chris Klein for a chat about its making...

It’s 13 years since the first American Pie introduced the painfully funny life problems of charaters such as Jim Levenstein and his friends Oz, Stifler and Finch. And although those characters - played by Jason Biggs, Chris Klein and Eddie Kaye Thomas respectively - have grown older by this year’s American Pie: Reunion, they’re certainly no wiser.

The passing years have done little to dampen audience enthusiasm for the American Pie series, either, with Reunion already earning a healthy $128 million and counting at the box-office to date - and the movie hasn’t even opened in all territories yet.

With American Pie: Reunion out in the UK on Wednesday, it was our pleasure to sit with its »

American Pie: Reunion Review

28 April 2012 11:01 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

The boys are back in town, looking a little older (some sporting facial hair and others possible plastic surgery), but certainly none the wiser when it comes to women. Jim (Jason Biggs), Oz (Chris Klein), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) are still a bunch of ‘little boys lost’, only to find that they’re far more mature than first thought when compared to The Stiffmeister, Stifler (Seann William Scott) who has never got away from the home town.

We have as much anticipation as the boys to experience a great reunion, and predictable beginning aside to remind us of Jim’s endless troubles in the bedroom department, it’s rather comforting to be back in their awkward presence, and wonder at what the weekend will bring out in them all. The key to this is seeing them revert to type, which they do – exactly as any »

Mena Suvari: Exes hate me

Mena Suvari says all her exes end up hating her. The 'American Reunion' star - who split from her second husband, concert promoter Simone Sestito, in January - admits she isn't on good terms with her former lovers and has never rekindled a relationship. Mena - whose character Heather in the comedy movie falls in love again with her first boyfriend Oz (Chris Klein) - said: 'I've never run into an ex who I have fallen back in love with. They all end up hating me. I just keep moving on. I don't like going back, I think that's unhealthy.'

The American Pie boys on growing up and making the third sequel to their smash-hit gross-out comedy

"I don't know that we'll necessarily top the first movie," says Thomas Ian Nicholas, a star of the American Pie teen-film series, which started in 1999 and will next month expand to a fourth instalment, American Pie: Reunion. "But I feel this is the best sequel."

It must be tricky territory for the franchise's five leads; bittersweet. On the one hand, the thirtysomethings clearly delight in one another's company, tirelessly joking and jostling in a London hotel. On the other hand, none would have thought, back when American Pie kickstarted five careers, they'd be 13 years in the same roles: sensitive Jim (Jason Biggs), insensitive Stifler (Seann William Scott), brawny Oz (Chris Klein), brainy Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Nicholas's straight man, Kevin. These names, Thomas says, "will forever be stamped on our foreheads."

Klein Battling Sickness As He Promotes Latest American Pie

17 April 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actor Chris Klein proved his dedication to the new American Pie movie on Tuesday by battling through a sore throat to take part in a U.K. TV interview.

The stars of American Reunion are in Britain to promote the latest film in the franchise, and Klein - along with Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jennifer Coolidge - sat down for a chat with This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

But the worldwide promotion of the movie has left Klein feeling unwell.

Thomas revealed, "London has made my pal Chris Klein a little sick, it took his voice away."

Klein added, "I'm a little bit sick - it wasn't London that did it, it's just all the running around."

The actor then talked at length about the American Pie franchise, prompting Thomas to quip, "It's the most he's said all morning! He's been telling us all morning that he can't speak, he's been saving it for you guys."

A few minutes into the chat, Klein's voice started to wane, causing Coolidge to chuckle, and the actor joked, "Are you laughing at my voice?"

He later added: "It sounds worse than it is." »
