‘American Pie’ for Valentine
By Sanath Weerasuriya
‘American Pie - The Wedding’, the thrilling climax of the ‘American Pie’ film series now runs to the packed audiences at the Liberty Cinema, Colombo. Directed by Jess & Dylan, ‘The Wedding’ stars Jason Giggs, Alyson Hannigan, January Jones, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Seann William Scott, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Fred Willard and Eugene Levy.

The raucous and lovable characters from the wildly successful American Pie and American Pie 2 have gone and done it... well, they’re planning on doing it. Really soon. In front of everyone they know. In a big way.

Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are getting married. With East Great Falls High, foreign exchange students, band camp, crazy glue and summer college vacations now a thing of the past, Jim and Michelle’s friends and family are ready to help usher the couple down the aisele and over the threshold into adulthood.

Michelle wants the wedding to be perfect. Not exactly an easy task, even with everyone on their best behaviour and getting along.... which probably isn’t going to happen.

Michelle’s knock-out sister, Cadence (January Jones), has flown in to help out her sis as Maid of Honour. And once Stifler (Seann William Scott) and Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) catch sight of Cadence - the war to woo is on. With all rules out the window, Stifler turns on his chaismatic charm to nab the babe.

Cautioned to tone it down by a nervous Jim who already has his hands full trying to impress Michelle’s somewhat stuffy parents, Harold and Mary (Fred Wilard and Deborah Rush) - Stifler abandons his customary plan of attack and becomes the charming would-be boyfriend of every nice girl’s dreams... which leaves Finch with no choice but to play the bad boy, with Cadence torn between perfect gentleman Stifler and that low-life Finch.

It’s good for Jim that some things don’t change, as Jim’s Dad (Eugene Levy) is an ever-present constant, dispensing well-meaning (but sometimes clueless) advice to his son and future daughter-in-law occasionlly crossing the line into the land of “too much information” concerning him and Jim’s Mom (Molly Cheek). ‘American Pie - The wedding” is also being screened at Milano and Regal, Kandy.
