And by the time they let us in (7pm) it was snaking all around the block, crazy! They were being very strict with the tickets checking them both against ID and the guest list and the person in front of me was actually pulled out of the queue as they weren't on the guest list. From what I heard they had to wait until everyone else on the list was inside before they could go in. But as there were still some empty seats left in the theatre in the end I assume everyone got in.
The screening started slightly late as the cast were delayed, but they were worth waiting for as nearly everyone was there! Jason Biggs, Eugene Levy, Seann William Scott, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Tara Reid, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Mena Suvari, and even Stifler's Mom: Jennifer Coolidge. And I'm sure I'm missing some people as there was a crazy amount at the front. They were all being briefly interviewed and the moderator made a hilarious mistake when introducing Eddie which had everyone else making fun of him for the duration of the introduction (I made a video of it, haven't had a chance yet to check if it turned out okay though).
As for the film itself, I enjoyed a lot. Surprisingly. I normally don't like crude teenage humour but this wasn't as bad as some of the stuff that gets made nowadays (hear me sounding like an old lady!) and most of it made me laugh a lot. There were heaps of references to the first film (probably the sequels too, but I've never seen them) and great use of the changes the past decade has brought both the characters and the world in general (mobile phones, etc).
I was lovely to see Tilly too, even though I completely walked past her at first as I am clearly blind!
8.5/10
Was I in front of you? I got there at a similar time to you and I had to stand to one side as I was not on the first two guest lists, I was on another guest list that they had inside for some reason
Oh well, had an amazing night, really pleasant to see the majority of the cast show up for the occasion and the banter on stage (especially concerning Eddie Kay Thomas) was superb. When they left Stifler's mom even waved!
