Massive amounts of alcohol are consumed, relationships are strained, and parties are thrown.

Meanwhile, problems pop up and are solved in turn, when characters arent getting involved in misadventures.

American Reunionis blatantly a nostalgia trip.

The actors slip back into their roles, probably because these are the roles they remain best known for.

The major change has taken place behind the scenes.

Adam Herz, the writer of all three of the theatricalAmerican Piemovies before this one, is out.

Sure, there are plenty of shenanigans and conflicts, but nothing seems to have high stakes anymore.

Perhaps that says less aboutAmerican Piethe franchise and more about life.

American Reunionwont break any new ground, and its not even the best one of the series.
