After 13 years the kids are growing up, even Stifler!

I am not really a fan of the "American Pie" movies, they are too juvenile and dirty most of the time, but there is this guilty-pleasure attraction. Maybe because it sometimes reminds me of a much milder time in my own life, high school in the 1960s.

Most of the actors are back ... Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan (my personal favorite, "This one time at band camp..."), Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Seann William Scott, Mena Suvari... and a few others. Especy Eugene Levy as Jim's dad and Jennifer Coolidge as Stifler's mom.

In an uncredited role, Rebecca DeMornay, still looking good at 50, makes a quick appearance near the end as one of the kids' mom, and Stifler gets to experience his first time with a MILF on the lacrosse field.

The theme of this movie is a class reunion, after 13 years. Filmed completely in Atlanta, many of the old gang are married, many are not. There are no great revelations, but many changes.

It is not a movie to be recommended as a stand-alone viewing, but for those of us who have seen all the "American Pie" movies it can be fun. Even Nadia shows up near the end. Very briefly at an awkward time while Jim and Michelle are celebrating their marriage in the band room.

There is also a funny scene when the girl next door, that Jim used to babysit for, is turning 18 and wants Jim to "be her first."
