‘American Pie: Reunion’ is one helping too much

There is a moment in the fourth and hopefully final slice of the American Pie series when lovable Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs) loses his patience with sex-obsessed man-child Stifler (Seann William Scott) and laments: “You’re so trapped in the past. When are you going to realise things will never be the way they used to be?”

Writer-directors Jon Hurwitz and Jason Schlossberg would have done well to heed their own lesson because ‘Reunion’ spends almost two hours clinging onto the same illusion, placing the now thirty-something characters in the same cringeworthy situations that end with Jim trapping his manhood in a laptop or another member of the gang being spattered with bodily fluids.
