What Parents Need to Know

About American Wedding

Parents need to know that this is an exuberantly outrageous movie with humor that is good-hearted but extremely explicit. There are jokes about every body part and function and about every kind of sexual practice, heterosexual and homosexual, including oral sex, mild S&M, and the use of sex toys. The language is extremely strong, with nonstop swearwords and exceptionally explicit sexual references. A character moons the others. A character has sex with someone thinking it is someone else. Stifler once again ingests a substance for gross-out effect, this time not even human. There is social drinking. The issue of religious intermarriage is raised when one family member objects, but everyone else is completely supportive.

    funny

    good movie not as good as the others though. Stifler is very funny as always. Not much stuff you have not seen in the other two movies so if you saw those then u wont be suprised with anything.

    Funny!!!!!!!!!

    This I think is one of the funniest american pie movies yet. Stifler is very very funny and the laughter never stops. There is quite a bit of nudity and the bachler partey is long and has a lot of nudity but it is very funny. The language in this movie is really bad. Stifler drops the f-bomb in almost every sentence but its nothing that i havnt heard.

    Homophobic jokes, but not a homophobic movie.

    American Wedding should really be titled Stifler's movie. Stifler is one of the greatest jerks ever to grace the silver screen. His scene in a gay bar is 10 minutes of pure laughter. This movie doesn't have stereotypes either. The parents are real people, and so are the gay people. Fred Willard and Eugene Levey knock it out the park with their dead on portrayal of michelle and jim's dads. Above all, this is a sweet teenage comedy. The sight gags are mixed with the emotions of real kids, with real experiences. I can't wait for American Parents.
