Back from Braehead. Pretty much full but it did start 5 minutes late. Sat with Teddybear01 and OH and Cheeksdevil and OH at the back. Yes we were the ones roaring with laughter. It was funny in parts but when it was it was really funny. Enjoyed this and a nice comeback to the American Pie series. 8/10

Saw this at a 3/4 full Southampton Odeon where the virgin rep checked everyones details as well making sure there were no double ups. We also got popcorn but had to wait 25 mins to enter cinema due to another film running late.
As for the film loved it,yes rude,crude and naked bodies but that was to be expected if you had seen American Pie. Everyone seemed to like it,plenty of laughs rang out through out the cinema. o/

    Well this was not that funny, as what I was expecting. I tittered a few places but the back row behind me were in uproar! They obviously thought all the toilet and sex jokes were hilarious. I thought it dragged a bit. If you were a fan of the previous ones, you will probably love it. 5/10
    I got there a bit late but no name or details were taken... strange :blink:

    Have to agree with you on the film though. Was funny in parts but not as funny as expected. I enjoyed the first one, can't remember if i saw the second. But having enjoyed the first one, its hard to see how this was any good. Its just rehashing what was used before. A generous 5/10 :undecided:

    bit crap tbh, although I've never expected much from the Pie movies so I am not really complaining, there were a few funny gags anyway. It would probably be a lot better with the cast present to liven things up.

    so many people with shit4brains in the country who laugh at crap, no wonder this land has gone so downhill. Oh what am I saying, this all started in the 90s with 'laddism' and the first movie!

    Saw this at a pretty full Odeon Wimbledon - thanks again to tilly for the tix. The Virgin rep scrutinised everyone's printout closely and spent a long time copying down some information from each onto a form (I don't know what, though), but luckily for me there was no ID check. I think, as others have already said, that you enjoyed this more if you had seen and liked the previous films in the series, and yes, it was crude and silly but as a fan, I was laughing out loud at times. It probably doesn't deserve more than 7.5 in terms of quality, but it was great, mindless entertainment and reminded me most closely of Horrible Bosses, in the sense that I found myself laughing when I felt I shouldn't. And despite being 13 years older now, all the original cast members still looked amazingly young to me.

    Lovely to see you there and great to get a wee catch up before the film ;)


    Really enjoyed it too, okay so it won't be up for an Oscar anytime soon but in saying that it was mindless fun and for parts of the movie i was in stitches, just what the doctor ordered and by the sounds of the Braehead crowd it was well received by the rest of the audience too :D

    8/10 from me

    Movie was awesome... Agree with all... I would probably give 9/10... The 1 mark that I wouldn't give is for the climax.. where the sad things happened at Stiffler's party... I particularly didn't like that.. otherwise it was laughter ride...

    That's 2 hours I'll never get back! Eugene Levy was the only one remotely funny in this dull overlong snoozefest - praise the lord for the free popcorn and the fact I never pa*d to see this trash!

    It is what it is. It never promised anything more than that really.

    starting to remember why I chronically despise Stiflers grinning face turning up on posters once again.

    Its not a grin of 'heeyy i am a dumb but funny american stoner male', no sir. Hes grinning at your inane stupidity for having pa*d for another shit movie yet again. Or, its the effects of drugs he spent your hard earned money on for doing nothing at all again.

    Well the joke is on you, sir. I left early and didnt p*y for your movie. o/
